(01:48):
You're at the volume heavy Thursday. Everybody of all of
you guys are having a great week so far. Well.
JJ Reddick is the brand new head coach of the
Los Angeles Lakers, and so we're going to take ten
to fifteen minutes here just to give my initial impression
on the hire. You guys are the joke before we
get started. Subscribe to the Hoops Tonight YouTube channels you
don't miss any more of our videos. Follow me on
Twitter at underscore JSNLT so you guys don't miss show announcements.
(02:09):
Son't forget about a podcast feed wherever you get your
podcasts under Hoops tonight, and then keep dropping mail bag
questions and the YouTube comments. We're actually gonna hit a
mail bag intomorrow's show. So I'm gonna be grabbing questions
from this video as well as the video we did
on Tuesday, kind of wrapping up the NBA Finals. So
drop questions in the comments. We'll get to them in
tomorrow's mail bag. All right, let's talk some basketball. So
(02:29):
there's a bunch of different angles I want to come
at this from, but I want to start from the
perspective of risk because there's gonna be a lot of
focus on JJ's lack of experience and all of the
risk that comes with that. And the reason why I
have an issue with that is there's a risk no
matter who you hire in this coaching field. It's kind
of the reality like, ideally you want to hire a
coach that has a great amount of experience, a great
(02:51):
amount of talent, and a proven track record, right, But
those guys tend to have jobs, right. There was one
of them that fake came available, maybe eleven play not
really that serious of an option, right, and Dan Hurley
he had, you know, lots of experience, proven track record,
you know, this big personality, obviously one of the most
respected basketball geniuses in the world. Right, But he has
(03:15):
a job right now, right, Like, those guys aren't just
sitting around waiting to be hired. And so no matter
what direction the Lakers had gone, there was risk. Let's
go for a former head coach. Let's go for someone
like James Brego or Kenny Atkinson. Well, those guys had
mediocre prior stops. There's no guarantee that they're going to
just come into the Lakers and have a ton of success.
Oh well, what about these longtime experienced assistant coaches. Well,
(03:39):
there's plenty of examples in NBA and NFL history of
guys who were successful coordinators or successful lead assistants that
transition to a head coaching job and then struggled. There's
a certain amount of risk there as well. There was
no option. It was an unavoidable part of this process
that the Lakers would encounter some risk when they chose
a new head coach. And so JJ obviously fits that bill.
(04:02):
But I didn't think that that was something that they
could avoid. The focus on experience. Experience is important, but
not at the expense of talent. Like if you were
looking at checking boxes and all the different things that
you look for in a head coach, right, Like I
want a certain amount of competitiveness. Well, JJ has that.
Like what kind of person would give up their cush
media job to take over being head coach of the
(04:25):
Lakers which comes with much heavier workload, much more travel,
much more pressure, much more criticism. Why would you do
that to yourself and your family. It's because he's obsessed
with basketball. It's because he's a psychotic competitor, something that
has driven him to all of the success that he's
had as a basketball player. Give me talent in competitiveness
(04:48):
any day of the week, they're going to find a
way to succeed. JJ has the competitiveness. I do believe.
I do believe he has the talent. I think he's
a very bright basketball mind. I think he's obsessed with
modern NBA offense and all the different intricacies that make
especially five out offense work. As we know with the Lakers,
they shifted to five out last year, and there were
(05:10):
some growing pains early in the year, but they really
took off the second half of the year, and I
even think there's another level that they could get to
on that end of the floor. So by virtue of
JJ's competitiveness and his desire to learn everything there is
to know about five out offense, I think he's gonna
help that offense get to another level. So like he's
got the competitiveness, I personally believe he has more than
(05:32):
enough in terms of natural talent for the job. There's
a personality piece, and there's gonna be some growing pains
there for sure, because I think that JJ is a
really competitive guy, right and obviously there'll butt heads with
players from time to time and it's not going to
be a perfectly seamless transition. But if you surround him
with an experienced set of assistants, and as long as
(05:54):
he has the buy in of Lebron James, who's the
most experienced star in the league, I think that process
over the next few years can be smoothed over. But
in general, in terms of the core piece of it,
I do believe JJ's personality is big enough. He's got
enough aura in the long run to be a very
successful head coach, and so honestly, as I look through
it and it's like competitiveness, you know, personality and aura,
(06:16):
talent and experience. Like, obviously he's lacking in the talent
and experience part, but I think he has a chance
to be really, really good in the other three areas.
And so again, like experience is important, but not at
the expense of talent, And you can supplement experience by
surrounding him with experience, right, Like we see this with
players too. It's like you take the twenty twelve thunder,
(06:39):
you add a Derek Fisher, you add a Kendrick Perkins.
It's like those guys aren't the dudes actually doing most
of the heavy lifting, but it just provides the veteran
presence that helps those guys navigate that environment. The same
thing goes for the coaching staff. As long as JJ
has experienced minds that he can lean on through the process,
who can confront him and be like, hey, like when
(07:00):
you communicate this to that player, like I had this
happened to me three years ago, you know, maybe next time,
try this. It seems to resonate better, Like you're right
about what you're thinking, but we just got to work
on the delivery, you know, whatever it is like all
of those processes can be smoothed over by virtue of
supplementing him with experience. And again I put this on
my note, give me talent plus competitiveness, Like just because
(07:24):
someone's in over their head for a certain job doesn't
mean they're incapable of succeeding in that job. Sometimes it
can be a little intimidating and intense upfront, but once
you break through and learn, as long as you have
the talent, as long as you're competitive and work hard enough,
the success to me feels inevitable. And so I think
that there's a lot less risk here than what is
(07:46):
what it would appear like on the surface, giving the
available candidates that are out there, I want to zero
in on the offensive end a little bit more so,
like again, like one of the things that I think
I and we're going to talk about this in much
more detail when we do my five Biggest Takeaways from
the postseason pod, which I was originally going to do
today but I'm probably gonna end up doing tomorrow morning
just by virtue of this report. But you know, I'm
(08:08):
a big believer that ball and player movement is important.
We saw what happened with Dallas right, they were an
elite offense for three rounds against specific types of matchups,
but a couple adjustments from Boston and their offense completely
fell apart. And it was, in my opinion, in large
part because of a lack of ball and player movement.
Like as long as they had shooters spacing in the corners,
but Boston didn't have to help off of them, Dallas
(08:29):
couldn't get consistent quality looks right. It was a lot
of iso. It is a lot of over the top
pull up jump shots right Like to me, ball in
player movement in the five out context is more resilient
offensively in the later rounds, especially of the NBA playoffs,
And the Lakers made a switch to five out last year.
They've made a lot of progress on that end of
the floor, but they can still get a lot better.
(08:51):
There was even in the postseason in particular, there were
a lot of moments where the Lakers got away from
their five out attack and ran a lot of just
like spamming pick and roll and things along those lines.
Having a coach that is kind of like, I mean
this in a complimentary way, like a nerd like kind
of who will geek out about the all of the
different elements of modern five out offense, and there's a
(09:12):
bunch of different ways to look at it. Right, There's
like sets that you run to begin possessions. There's the
way your natural five out motion flows after the defense
deals with whatever first action you run. There's off ball action,
there's counters and things along those lines. That's going to
be vitally important for this Laker team, especially because they
play a lot of non shooters, guys like Jared Vanderbilt,
(09:33):
guys like Anthony Davis. Right, So, like, I actually think
JJ has the potential. There will be some growing pains,
but because of his obsessiveness with that side of the ball,
I think he can do a lot to help the
team get to another level on that end of the floor.
My main concern, and the main thing that I think
JJ is going to struggle with at first, but I
think he'll learn and get better at in the long run,
(09:56):
is the accountability piece. Accountability was the biggest weakness of
this Laker team. What that means to me is like
accepting mediocre results and like remember when Darvin Ham would
refer to things as like, oh, we're just in a marathon,
guys like we can't overreact to every win and loss,
like we're just trying to get through this grind. And
it's like, no, you have to attack the regular season
(10:19):
in order to have postseason success. That is a fact.
I pulled this stat for the pod that I'm doing
tomorrow on the five biggest takeaways from the postseason. Twelve
of the last thirteen NBA champions had a top four
regular season record, and the one team that didn't was
the twenty twenty one Milwaukee Bucks. They had the seventh
(10:40):
best record, and they were a dominant regular season team
in the previous seasons. And that was that funky COVID
season when guys were in and out of the lineup.
If I remember correctly, Brook Lopez missed a ton of
time in that season. So, like NBA history tells us,
you can't chill your way through the season. You have
to attack everything from day one of training, establish habits,
(11:02):
build out, attention to detail. That is what will carry
you to play championship level basketball. Down the line, that
comes down to JJ. He is going to have to
ride those guys in terms of their attention to detail
every single day of practice, every single game, every single
time out. He's gonna have to be really diligent about
(11:23):
how often he holds those guys accountable in order for
this team to get where they need to go. And
I think there is a challenge there when you're looking
at Lebron James and it's like, dude, you're JJ Redick.
When I was playing, you know, when you were playing
in the league, you were a player that wasn't even
in the same stratosphere as me. Like, there's a certain
level of like, will JJ be able to look at
(11:44):
Lebron and demand a lot out of him? Will he
be able to look at Anthony Davis and demand a
lot out of him? Will he be able to look
at all those guys That I think is going to
be the hardest part. But again, as long as he
has Lebron's support, I think that's gonna be key. Lebron's
gonna have to stand behind JJ to help him hold
these guys accountable. But as long as that attention to
detail is there and they continue to make strides on
(12:06):
the offensive end of the floor, I do think this
is a job that JJ can succeeded. The main thing
is the last thing I put the coach. It certainly
plays a role here. I thought Darvinham did a lot
to hurt the Lakers in the regular season last year
in terms of just rotation stuff. But for the most part,
the Lakers' main issues are personnel related. They're not athletic
(12:26):
enough in the back court. They do not have a
starting caliber player that can both defend on the perimeter
to high level and be a plus offensive player. That
player does not exist on the roster like they beyond
Lebron and Ad so like, Honestly, the main driving force
of whether or not the Lakers have a successful season
is going to come down to what they do with
those three draft picks, what they do in free agents,
(12:49):
and what they do just over the course of the
next month to tinker with the roster. So like, at
the end of the day, like we can talk about
JJ all we want, and I like him as like
a long term coaching prospect with this Los Angeles Lakers team,
but they're gonna have to hit some home runs in
the offseason to give this Lakers a team a chance
to compete going into next season. And I'm really curious
(13:12):
to see whether or not they can give him the
horses they need to succeed, but again to kind of
put a bow on it all. Yeah, there's risk involved,
but I didn't think that was an avoidable part of
this process. Yes, experience is important, but not at the
expense of talent. I think JJ is talented and freaky competitive.
Give me a talented and freaky competitive guy in a
job like this ten times out of ten, I think
(13:33):
he's gonna find a way to figure it out and
be successful. All right, guys, that is all I have
for today. As always, as sincerely appreciate you guys for
supporting the show. We'll be back tomorrow to go over
the five biggest takeaways of the postseason, as well as

plays a role here. I thought Darvinham did a lot
to hurt the Lakers in the regular season last year
in terms of just rotation stuff. But for the most part,
the Lakers' main issues are personnel related. They're not athletic
(12:26):
enough in the back court. They do not have a
starting caliber player that can both defend on the perimeter
to high level and be a plus offensive player. That
player does not exist on the roster like they beyond
Lebron and Ad so like, Honestly, the main driving force
of whether or not the Lakers have a successful season
is going to come down to what they do with
those three draft picks, what they do in free agents,
(12:49):
and what they do just over the course of the
next month to tinker with the roster. So like, at
the end of the day, like we can talk about
JJ all we want, and I like him as like
a long term coaching prospect with this Los Angeles Lakers team,
but they're gonna have to hit some home runs in
the offseason to give this Lakers a team a chance
to compete going into next season. And I'm really curious
(13:12):
to see whether or not they can give him the
horses they need to succeed, but again to kind of
put a bow on it all. Yeah, there's risk involved,
but I didn't think that was an avoidable part of
this process. Yes, experience is important, but not at the
expense of talent. I think JJ is talented and freaky competitive.
Give me a talented and freaky competitive guy in a
job like this ten times out of ten, I think
(13:33):
he's gonna find a way to figure it out and
be successful. All right, guys, that is all I have
for today. As always, as sincerely appreciate you guys for
supporting the show. We'll be back tomorrow to go over
the five biggest takeaways of the postseason, as well as
to do a mailbag. I'll see you guys though the
