You just talked about JJ Redick. What do you think about him as head coach now with the Lakers? Trey Murphy: I feel like he’s going to do a great job, just because of the mind that he has. He understands people. One of the biggest things about coaching is being able to understand your players, know what motivates them, what gets them going, and I feel like JJ will do a pretty solid job. Hopefully he does a solid job for 79 games and not all 82.

Trey Murphy on Zion Williamson: “He’s taken his body work and recovery very seriously. He just looks different from last year. He’s come into this season ready to play, in good shape. It’s just a testament to what he’s done this summer.”

JJ Redick didn’t lack options for his post-playing career.
But competition and service led him to his first coaching gig.

Dalton Knecht had 12 points in the 4th Q (4 of 5 FG’s, 3 of 3 from 3) and 13 of LA’s 15 points in OT (4 of 6 FG’s, 3 of 4 3’s) towards his 35 points.
“It was an incredible performance,” said JJ Redick, a strong believer in the hot hand. “That was supernatural.” – 12:56 AM

At the 57.0 mark of the 4th, Dalton Knecht rose over 7’3” Bol Bol to get the Lakers within 3.
JJ Redick called Knecht’s number 4 again looking for a game-tying 3, and Knecht obliged, once again over Bol Bol, with 4.8 seconds left.
PHX missed the ensuing shot, and OT it is. – 12:30 AM

Scoring won’t be the Suns problem.
Defense, that’s another conversation.
Lakers getting good looks, tie game 56-56 as Nurkic gets easy dunk. Lakers don’t get back.
After seeing that, Redick calls timeout. 3:28 left in half. #Suns #Lakers – 10:56 PM

“Had I known that Ryan Dunn was a 45% (3-point_ shooter, our draft board would’ve looked a little bit different. Nah, he’s been awesome.”

The Lakers, like the Suns, ranked near the bottom of the league in 3PAs and want to get those numbers up. JJ Redick said for them a lot of the focus is on “good 3s” and not just a specific number. He has liked what he has seen from his team in that department so far. – 8:51 PM

JJ Redick said that Jarred Vanderbilt’s return-to-play progression is going well and according to plan, and that the team will give an update in roughly two weeks. He added that they want to ensure Vanderbilt is 100% healthy, given that it’s a long season. – 8:45 PM

LeBron will sit tonight, via JJ Redick. Just resting.
Rui Hachimura has a bit of calf tightness – not a concern, just precaution – and he’ll sit as well. – 8:35 PM

More on this storyline
Trey Murphy: When I came back from that, I was probably bad for about two months. I didn’t shoot the ball well at all. And that was really difficult to go through because I thought I was doing everything right. I talked with JJ Redick because he is and still is to an extent a friend of mine, but we’re not really friends no more [smile]. But he was just telling me that you can’t get it all back one time, and there will be games where you will go 3 for 8, 5 for 12, whatever. And it’s just like, alright, I’m not gonna get back to 40 percent in one game, but if I take those small wins, and keep building on that. That’s the biggest thing I saw. And another thing I can refer to is Paul Pierce, he was on a podcast and was talking about how he was 1 for 13 in the first half, and one of his coaches was asking him about how he was feeling, and he said I’m feeling real good, they felt like they were makes, so I’m going to end up making them anyway. I just remember a game we were playing against Washington at home and I think I was 3 for 10, but three of the misses felt really good, so in my head I was 6 for 10. And then after that, I was just like if I feel good after the misses, then I know I’ll be alright. Then I started hitting shots after that. -via HoopsHype / October 19, 2024
JJ Redick announced that LeBron James would sit out Thursday’s game for rest and quipped about his star player’s age. “DNP – Old. … Taking it out of Pop’s book,” Redick remarked according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. -via Clutch Points / October 18, 2024
Any update on a potential contract extension? Trey Murphy: Not too much, I can’t share too much. But we’ll be finding out really soon [smile]. -via HoopsHype / October 19, 2024
There has been a lot of hype surrounding Zion coming into this season. What do you expect this year from him? Trey Murphy: Yeah, absolutely. He’s taken his body work and recovery very seriously. He just looks different from last year. He’s come into this season ready to play, in good shape. It’s just a testament to what he’s done this summer. -via HoopsHype / October 19, 2024
