Former NBA guard Patrick Beverley believes new Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick is poised for success.
Beverley, who played alongside Redick on the Los Angeles Clippers, expressed his confidence in the rookie coach.
“JJ getting roles in order asap. Don’t [sleep] on him. He gonna get it done,” Beverley tweeted.
The tweet highlights Beverley’s belief that Redick will adapt quickly to his new role with the Lakers.
Redick, known for his basketball IQ during his playing career, has transitioned to coaching after retiring.
His appointment as the Lakers’ head coach came as a surprise to many, given his lack of prior coaching experience.
However, Beverley’s comments suggest Redick has the leadership qualities needed to thrive in the position.
Redick recently revealed that he has already decided on the Lakers’ starting five for the upcoming season.
This shows his readiness to make decisive moves as the team prepares for the 2024-2025 campaign.
