The NBA season will be here in just over a month, so it's no surprise that Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick found his way back to a podcast. Redick was a guest on ESPN's The Lowe Post on Tuesday to talk about how he got into coaching, how he ended up with the Lakers, and what to expect from his first season on an NBA bench wearing a suit exclusively.
One of the most high-profile issues Redick will have to handle in his first year is guard Bronny James. While Redick mentioned guard Max Christie and guard Jalen Hood-Schifino as young players who have a chance to earn a spot in the rotation this season—and praised first-round forward Dalton Knect for being an exemplary shooter—Lowe had to specifically ask about James to find out what the plan was for the team's second round pick.
