JJ Redick is preparing the preseason for the Los Angeles Lakers in what is going to be his first challenge as a coach. He retired, became a podcast star, and went directly to the hottest bench in the entire league with players like LeBron James and Anthony Davis and immense media pressure.
He lands quietly and speaks calmly about his preseason on Spectrum’s Lakeshow Podcast:
«I mean, look, those guys are professionals in every sense of the word. My concern for them about whether they will be ready to play on October 22nd and be in shape, I don't have that concern. We will work with Mike and Ish to ensure they feel great to start the regular season. They will definitely participate in training camp and preseason here in September, as well as in preseason games.»
He is more than excited about the team he has assembled, hoping for many successes next season:
«What excites me the most is working, being in the gym with the guys, and the coaching staff. That has been the best part... It has been fascinating because you are fitting puzzle pieces together about skills and personalities. I couldn't be happier with the team we have formed here; we have a mix of youth and experience. Obviously Nate (McMillan) and Scotty (Brooks), but also Bob Beyer, who has been at the helm of the bench for almost two decades in the NBA. The most important thing for me was to make sure I had a group of sickos on my roster, and I think I have achieved that. They are grinders».
