The Los Angeles Lakers are about to embark on an intriguing journey, and there's still time for the roster to change before the season starts. Leading the way, no matter how the team shapes up, will be head coach JJ Redick. Redick, entering his first-ever season as a head coach, will helm the most storied and renowned franchise in all of sports.

The expectations are sky-high, despite it being Redick's first-ee stint in this role. Naturally, he will be under intense scrutiny, but he seems ready for the challenge and eager to implement his coaching style.

According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic (h/t to @Klutch_23 for the find), Redick plans to be highly analytical and numbers-driven. He also plans on being more appealing to younger players.

We've seen the benefits and drawbacks of such an approach, not just in basketball but across all sports. This style might work well in the regular season, but the postseason is a different beast. While it's too early to judge, it's promising to see Redick and general manager Rob Pelinka have a game plan and adopt a forward-thinking approach in this constantly evolving game

Basketball, like all sports, is continually changing, and Redick aims to stay one step ahead. His analytical approach could offer fresh insights and strategies that push the Lakers forward. As the season progresses, it will be fascinating to see how Redick's methods translate to the court and whether they can propel the Lakers to new heights.
