JJ Redick gives him green light to just hoop

Jake LaRavia, a 2022 first-rounder, says JJ Redick told him to simply be himself with the Lakers. Known for defense and 37.1% from three, he believes he fits perfectly alongside LeBron James and Austin Reaves.

LaRavia added he’ll show his game on October 21. If he locks down wings and drains open shots, Redick won’t be able to bench him—unless Redick suddenly thinks ‘playing free’ means karaoke night at Crypto.com Arena.
