EDGE Analysis

Luke Kennard struggled early and gave way to Lofton in the first quarter. The same thing occurred in the fourth quarter with David Roddy, where Lofton did most of his damage. He played well enough to keep Roddy off the floor for the rest of the contest. Although he had his best performance of the season Wednesday, he had totaled just six minutes of playing time over his first two appearances during the 2023-24 campaign, so he may struggle to replicate these results consistently.
