James changed his style of play, Davis changed his style of play, and Redick seemed to be determined to transform the Lakers

The Lakers didn't make any substantial additions this offseason, so many fans began to worry about the competitiveness of the Lakers in the new season. But for many Lakers fans, the only glimmer of hope they have now is whether Redick can bring some change to the Lakers. Because it was a pity that the Lakers lost many games last season, and it was precisely because Ham's on-the-spot coaching ability was too poor that the Lakers lost a lot of games that they shouldn't have lost. If Redick can bring some positive changes to the Lakers on a tactical level, maybe the Lakers' overall performance next season will be completely different.

In fact, Redick also revealed some of his thoughts after taking office, and he also made some statements about the specific rules, and his statements involved some important players of the Lakers, such as James, Davis, Reaves and other players. When talking about James, Redick admitted that he would make James change his style of play and let James shoot more from the outside.

Because Redick admitted that James' three-point shooting percentage last season was very good, and now that James' projection has become more and more stable, he needs to play to his advantages on the shooting end. On the other hand, more shooting also helps to reduce some of his confrontational play, which helps him to conserve energy for more important games and the second half of the season and even the playoffs, after all, James is also approaching 40 years old. So next season we should see James shoot more from the outside.

And Davis will also change his style of play next season, and the specific rules given by Redick are that the team's tactical core is tilted towards Davis. Redick admits that Davis will be the team's No. 1 point of attack next season and will also be the tactical core. The team will give him more low-post catch-and-go plays, and the most noticeable change we'll see for the Lakers next season is Davis receiving the ball in the low post, and he's the team's offensive pick-up point. When he doesn't have a chance, he might give it to other players.

The reason Redick had this idea was because he watched a lot of Lakers games last season. He thinks it is extremely unreasonable for the Lakers to rarely catch the ball in the fourth quarter last season. Because Davis' finishing efficiency is so good, and when he doesn't receive the ball in the fourth quarter, it's what other teams want to see, so Redick admits that he has to make sure Davis shoots.

Of course, Redick also talked about the use of Reeves, and he bluntly said that Reeves could play a more important role in his system. In the future, he will be as important to the Lakers as James and Davis. So we're very much looking forward to seeing Redick's arrival bring some changes to the Lakers. If he can refresh the Lakers with his coaching abilities, Pelinka is really the right bet to choose to make him head coach this summer.
