Coming into the season, the Los Angeles Lakers’ starting lineup was set. But as the season has gone on, head coach JJ Redick has had to try many different lineups, most recently giving the nod to Max Christie alongside Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura.
The end result was great as Christie did a great job in hounding All-Star Ja Morant in the Lakers’ 116-110 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Afterwards, Redick discussed what went into the decision to give Christie the starting nod.
“I think in terms of the decision, it wasn’t an easy decision,” Redick said after the win.
