Redick, who took over as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers in June, succeeded Darvin Ham after the Lakers’ disappointing first-round exit in the 2023-24 playoffs. Despite skepticism surrounding his ability to lead an NBA team, the first-time head coach has impressed early in the season, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
