Congratulations Reeves! After Redick became the head coach of the Lakers, he gave him a blockbuster promise!

Although the Lakers have not changed much personnel this offseason, many Lakers fans still have great expectations for the Lakers in the new season because their head coach has changed. A change in head coach means that some of the Lakers' style of play last season will change, and the team will likely have a new look. If Redick is a very tactically literate head coach, then the Lakers have a chance to do wonders this season.

You know, a head coach can change a team through his own ability, and we've seen examples of that, like Spoelstra of the Heat. So now many fans are pinning their hopes on Redick. And after Redick became the head coach of the Lakers, he also elaborated some of his thoughts, which are also related to the style of play of James, Davis and Reaves in the new season.

In particular, Redick has given Reaves a blockbuster commitment after taking office, and this commitment will help Reaves become a future leader for the Lakers, and he is expected to succeed James as the core of the Lakers' outside line in the future. That is, Redick admitted that after he took office, he would focus on exploring Reeves' potential in all aspects. In other words, Reeves may get more reuse, more ball, and more command in the new season.

Redick knew very well that James might be retiring soon, so he really needed to find a smooth transition point on the outside after James' retirement, and find a good playmaking point. And Redick's inner candidate is Reeves. Redick also elaborated that he hopes James can shoot more outside shots in the new season, which means that James may have less offensive percentage with the ball in the new season, and will have more offensive proportion of catch-and-shoot shots. And Reaves is likely to be the one to attack for a long time.

If Reeves is under Redick's all-round training, he is very likely to be promoted quickly. It is not ruled out that he will average more than 20 points per game next season. Including Redick, who also wants Davis to change roles. Redick admits that Davis will be the team's number one offensive point in the new season, which means that all the tactics will revolve around Davis. When he doesn't have too many opportunities, he will give other players, and maybe the Lakers will have a lot of Davis' low-post offensive tactics in the new season, in order to bring out all of Davis's abilities.

So in general, Redick's policy is to reuse Reeves, develop Reaves, reduce the pressure on James, reduce James's role positioning, and Davis as the team's main offensive point. Hopefully, these policies will make a qualitative change for the Lakers in the new season.
