Head coach JJ Redick had a successful Year 1 leading the Los Angeles Lakers and now hopes to improve upon last season’s mark.
Redick preached the importance of building championship habits this preseason and he felt like the Lakers took a step in the right direction in their finale against the Sacramento Kings. Now, Los Angeles gears up for an Opening Night matchup against the Golden State Warriors who are also looking to prove they belong in the contender conversation.
While Redick would have preferred to have his entire roster healthy for training camp and preseason, Los Angeles has to make due with the players they have.
