Los Angeles Lakers rookie head coach JJ Redick is making his presence felt with a passionate coaching style that has already resulted in several broken clipboards.
According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Redick’s intensity is “palpable” within the team as he works to implement his vision and foster a winning mentality.
Redick’s first month as head coach has seen the Lakers start strong with a 3-0 record, though they’ve faced challenges recently, going 2-4 over the past six games.
This early rollercoaster places the Lakers at 7th in the Western Conference, underlining the team’s need to find consistent rhythm and energy under Redick’s leadership.
Charania described Redick as “supremely passionate,” and his approach has visibly impacted the Lakers’ players, who have responded with notable effort but still face areas for improvement.
Redick’s clipboard-breaking moments highlight his drive to instill a sense of urgency, pushing players to meet the high standards he’s set for the season.
With a 5-4 record, the Lakers will look to harness Redick’s intensity and translate it into consistent winning efforts.
