It has been a fascinating rollercoaster for head coach JJ Redick in his first season at the helm of an NBA franchise with the Los Angeles Lakers. L.A. is 20-14, a better record than they had through 34 games last season, but it has been filled with significant highs and lows.
The Lakers have had a six-game win streak and they are currently 7-2 in their last nine games with a trade that certainly improves the roster. Redick has also gone through a 1-4 stretch and a 2-7 stretch, giving L.A. greater floors and ceilings than most NBA teams so far this season.
