Our priority has been shaping the early offense, finding ways beyond drag, Redick said. We haven’t yet locked in our offensive groups; with new personnel it’s about early organization, not just matchup tweaks, and we’ve got time to sort it out, he added. Ready to see how it clicks?
Despite the shuffle, Reaves already senses where the offense will settle.
I expect more of our possessions to end up in the paint, Redick noted. We’ll likely increase three‑point volume and improve offensive rebounding. How that boosts our rating will become clear as we generate better looks, he explained.
More Lakers insights ahead:
- Woike’s five‑point watchlist highlights the impact of Kessler’s minutes, perimeter disruptors like Matisse Thybulle, Ziaire Williams, Bronny James, Quentin Grimes and Sexton, plus the looming cut of at least one guaranteed contract. For my money, the rotation battle will define L.A.’s early success.
