The sharp-shooting 'KCP' is important for the Lakers as he helps space the floor for LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The kick-out option made 38.5% of his threes last season. 

Originally drafted 8th overall by the Detroit Pistons, Caldwell-Pope spent four seasons in Motown before making his new home in LA. Turns out he'll be enjoying the weather in California for a few more seasons.

The ring doesn't hurt either. 

YESSIR @CaldwellPope!!!! Congrats my brother
