Gabe Vincent is going to play more than you think this year. Surprise! Even with the addition of Marcus Smart in the offseason, and with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves the presumed starters in the backcourt, JJ Redick is not being shy about his expectation that Vincent will be a regular rotation piece on a nightly basis.
JJ Redick was asked about the makeup of the guard rotation and mentioned that Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Marcus Smart, Gabe Vincent and Jake LaRavia are all rotation locks.

Redick has been a fan of Vincent since he took over coaching the Lakers last year.
