JJ Redick is not looking for miracles. He is clear about what he needs to do if he wants his Los Angeles Lakers to be competitive: improve defensively. The purple and gold coach has made it very clear before the start of the training camp.
"Obviously, we need to improve our physicality," Redick said in a recent press conference. "We need to be a better team at contesting shots. Last year, we were in the bottom third of the league in that aspect. I think the most important thing for us in the player development work we've done defensively is that we've talked a lot about having an elite presence and trying to create marginal indecision. That could be in a switch, that could be with the help of the low man, that could be the big coming up to touch and release."
