Lakers News: JJ Redick Breaks Down Deandre Ayton's Role
Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick discussed Deandre Ayton's role for the 2025-26 season.
Ayton, a significant offseason addition, is expected to be a key player, filling the team's need for a big man.
Despite a slow offensive start in preseason games, Ayton has impressed defensively.
Austin Reaves noted that the team needs to find ways to get Ayton involved in the offense, which is expected to develop with time and practice.
"I think it’s important for him to touch the basketball because we’re going to ask a lot of him as a screener and a rim runner and the anchor of our defense so there has to be some level of freedom."
