JJ Redick is setting the bar high for the revamped Lakers built around Luka Don\u010di\u0107 and Austin Reaves. The Los Angeles coach believes the group can develop into a championship-level team this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m confident we\u2019re gonna develop as a team into a championship-level team \u2014 this year,\u201d Redick said, later telling The Athletic<\/strong> that his confidence comes from what he has seen throughout minicamp and the offseason. \u201cI\u2019ve watched these guys play. I\u2019ve played against these guys, or coached against these guys. I don\u2019t care about the perception of us. We\u2019re on our own path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Redick also explained why he believes the roster fits better than in his first two seasons: \u201cWe have depth, multiple ballhandlers besides Luka and AR, more shooting, more volume shooting, an elite rim protector and great wing defenders.\u201d Still, he added: \u201cYou don\u2019t become a championship team in late September. You have to become one throughout the season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" JJ Redick believes the revamped Los Angeles Lakers can develop into a championship-level team this season<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":516413,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-548193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/Logo-Lakers.png","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548193"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":548194,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548193\/revisions\/548194"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/516413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548193"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=548193"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=548193"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=548193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
