The Los Angeles Lakers knew there was going to be some risk hiring JJ Redick to become their next head coach as he’s never coached at any level before.
Redick was brought in to help bridge the current era and the next one post-LeBron James and so far he’s done a solid job given the circumstances. Despite some injuries and a lack of high-end talent, Redick’s got the Lakers playing good basketball toward the end of December.
Recently, the Lakers were able to put together a strong two-way performance against the Sacramento Kings which Redick called his favorite win of the 2024-25 season so far.
