Coach K believes former player J.J. Redick will do well as Los Angeles Lakers head coach.
There are lot of questions heading into J.J. Redick's first season as the Los Angeles Lakers head coach. The former NBA player was hired as the Lakers next coach despite having no prior coaching experience, leading many to doubt if Redick can successfully bring the Lakers to contention.
“For me, JJ is amazingly competitive, and is prepared as well as any player that I coached at Duke," Krzyzewski told. "He’s smart, he’s confident and he understands the game and having 15 years of being a pro, he has empathy for the guy trying to make it when he’s trying to make and makes it, and for the veteran who is still trying to make it.""He's prepared as well as any player I've coached at Duke... I think he has empathy for what a roster would look like.
