The Los Angeles Lakers are placing significant trust in head coach JJ Redick, despite mixed reviews from his rookie season. General Manager Rob Pelinka is backing Redick wholeheartedly, praising his energetic revival of the team's spirit and work ethic. Redick's strategic decisions faced scrutiny, especially following a playoff loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves where he relied heavily on a five-man rotation. Nonetheless, his four-year, $32 million contract underscores the franchise's commitment to his vision. Redick's background as a sharpshooter during his 15-year playing career may influence his offensive strategies as the Lakers aim to elevate their three-point shooting game.
