Using Anthony Davis more as an offensive “hub,” getting LeBron James more 3-point attempts, Jarred Vanderbilt’s availability, the search for offensive rebounds and Dalton Knecht’s potential impact …
New Lakers coach JJ Redick has talked about using All-Star big man Anthony Davis, pictured, as more of an offensive hub this season, getting him more touches. But that doesn’t mean camp won’t be eventful. Or that there aren’t still questions that need to be answered after the Lakers’ disappointing 2023-24.
“When I say ‘hub’, that may be out of the post, that may be in isolation, that may be out of our split action that may be in early offense in the trail position,” Redick explained on Wednesday during an interview with 710 AM . “There’s plenty of ways we can get him the ball, and he’s going to have the ball.”
“ and I have joked about this, but he shot over 40 percent from three this year – I want him shooting threes,” Redick said in June.“It’s funny because I think when people hear that in regards to LeBron playing off the ball, it doesn’t mean he’s not going to have the ball,” Redick said. “LeBron is one of the smartest players.
Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka last week expressed optimism that Vanderbilt will be available to start the regular season.
