Since JJ Redick took over as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, the players have credited him for having set rotations and substitution patterns so they know when they are going in the game.
With it being so early in the season though, that doesn’t mean that Redick won’t make tweaks if he feels he can improve his rotation.
That was the case in Friday night’s win over the Toronto Raptors and Redick switched up the minutes of his starting backcourt. To start the season, LeBron James and D’Angelo Russell had been the first ones to sub out in the first quarter with Austin Reaves and Anthony Davis staying on for a majority of the frame.
