JJ Redick won his Lakers press conference and four more takeaways: Ep. 35 | Buha's Block

[@kosmique]

I heard Jovan's question during the Conference. I was waiting for the "YOYO" 🤣 and had the BU-HA intro in my head the rest of the show.

[@pcjenkin]

I like the way he introduced himself; "Jovan Buha of The Athletic." As if everyone didn't know who he was. Ramona Shelborne was also someone who everyone knew.

JJ Redick is ready for his close up

[@howardhill3395]

J's 5 big strengths are 1) communication skills - having played at a very high level for 15 years he identifies with & understands from the player's point of view. Players will connect more easily with him, knowing he speaks from playing experience. 2) Basketball IQ & analytics & a love of the game. JJ takes this seriously which is essential for optimum usage of players in the right schemes. 3) JJ is flexible using different players and schemes for different situations. He will not try to impose inappropriate schemes that confuse and weaken the team effort. 4) Management of time-outs. As a recently retired ex player, JJ is well aware of pace and momentum in a game and when a time-out is necessary. I believe his management of time-outs will be good. 5) 3 point shooting. JJ admits he was not blessed with natural talent but worked very hard on his shooting. He achieved a career average of 41.5% in 3 pointers. JJ will be excellent in developing & guiding the Laker's 3 point shooting. He will guide them to practice the correct way. - mechanics and situation.

[@BaumgartenFilms]

On the Hawks, Trae Young can shine -- because it's the east and he is their first choice on offense with about 18 shots per game. On the Lakers, he'd be demoted to a third or 4th option on the offense. Also, LBJ likes to control the ball so Trae will be less productive as a PG. Lastly, at 6'1 and 164 lbs., Trae is a tad small and light for being an NBA guard for the West and he could be a defensive liability in many matchups.

[@jgs2277]

You asked really great questions during the press conference. Keep doing what you do, my brother. ☝🏿

[@MurielPopp]

I’m a 83 yr. old female Laker fan since 1962. I do not curse, but I liked the F Bomb because it was a stupid question. I was really sick of Ham and his hearts and flowers rhyming phrases. I think that set the tone JJ ability to communicate his honest feelings.

[@Tee2Nice]

Also… has anyone noticed on how no one has talked about JJ’s shooting, our team has been trash at 3s for forever lol he should be able to help team mechanics…. Also public enemy #1 at duke so he knows how to handle it and knows it’s lakers vs everybody. Laker Nation we ride 😤😤😤

[@gregnoble8063]

Jovan, to your point on the two players not mentioned, JJ also said they need two way players and those two are the most glaring "one-way" players.

[@EmanMundo]

Coach jj nailed it 🤣💪🔥👏💛💜

[@Murali_bala13]

Absolutely clear 2 reasons why Ham was fired was " player development " and "attention to detail".... The difference is worth atleast 5 wins if our stars remain healthy thru the season ..

[@danleftwich5911]

100 percent right. "Player development" is a response to Max Christie's exit interview. Attention to detail means running a lot more set offense with movement (so AD, aka The Hub, "knows what they are doing"), stopping most of the brain dead, sloppy turnovers, and paying freaking attention to guarding the 3 point line. The "we're going to use math" comment was all about the analytics and the math problem from 3 that the Lakers lost most of the time. I'm excited. Let's go!

[@LakerEric]

I was interested that no question about his voting on AD about DPOY

Regardless, JJ was terrific!

[@CalobAdamsInfamous913]

I like that they are emphasizing young core but they can’t say they need longer, athletic two way players and want to trade Vando. He’s their best perimeter and on ball defender. Too value to trade. I want to keep Rui and Vando but if you have to choose, pick Vando. Ultimately they can still make a good trade without either if DLo opts in

[@stevewise1656]

They're digging themselves out of the Westbrook trade and letting Caruso walk. Seems like people forget aside from trading KCP and Kuzma, I think they traded at least two unprotected number one pick.

[@user-dm4qg4tc9c]

The road from words to action is a short road. let's see if those words manifest in winning action. Nothing was said about JJ's ability, if he has it, to devise strategies and plays as the demand for them present themselves in tight win or lose situations which Ham apparently did not have much of. Find out the reasons for so many serious injuries and correct them.

[@soymajia]

This sounds so promising for the Lakers. Speaking of player development, was there any mention of Ronny going the time?

[@brianstoner988]

The F-bomb was by design. JJ doesn't do anything by design. It was his disdain of not caring what oursiders think about his experience . Caring only about the team & players.

[@nickdavis661]

you still beat Farbod in the hair department Jovan

[@brrrrambo3983]

cant wait for the draft, trades or new players let go🔥😂

[@danleftwich5911]

BTW, the comment about being 29th in the league in offensive rebounding and getting better by crashing from the corners is analytics too. So many times AD was on the floor under the basket and the guys in the corners are in no man's land, so expecting them to get back in transition is a losing proposition. You are better off stopping transition by getting more offensive rebounds. Think Aaron Gordon killing the Lakers with second chance points from the dunker's spot or the corner. Again, it's math.

[@soymajia]

Hoping you can get JJ on your podcast

[@solocreaterc9315]

Buying into JJ‘s culture ! That’s it, the Lakers didn’t bought in in Hams culture and that’s a big reason as well
