7 candidates rumored to join JJ Redick as an assistant coach on the Lakers, including Jared Dudley
The Los Angeles Lakers have finally found their replacement for Darvin Ham, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, reportedly hiring JJ Redick as the next head coach of the organization.
Even though Redick is highly regarded as a longtime NBA veteran and one of the top basketball minds in sports media as a top analyst for ABC and ESPN, he does not yet have any experience coaching at the professional level. So the next step for Redick, per Woj, is to find a suitable staff to help Redick at his first stop as head coach.
Now more than ever, the decisions that he and the organization make for his assistant coaches matter significantly. Based on the early reporting and speculating surrounding the search, here are some of the names linked as potential candidates.
