JJ Redick’s Interesting Player Comparison For Lakers’ Bronny James
New Los Angeles Lakers head coach J.J. Redick hasn’t been shy about discussing his team’s second-round draft pick, Bronny James.
Just last week Redick weighed in on Bronny’s disappointing Summer League run that was filled with nothing but lowlights.
That said – Redick still believes Bronny has a lot of potential.
During a recent interview with Sirius XM Radio, Redick offered a player comparison for Bronny that most people weren’t expecting.
“You have to be a guy that’s a ball hawk at all times,” Redick said.
“We’re going to develop his shot. We’re going to develop his ball skills. He’s already got a great feel. He has a really good, instinctive nature on the defensive end.
“We used the example yesterday. We were at the Canada-USA basketball exhibition game. And I turned to one of our assistant coaches during the game. And I said, ‘I think Lu Dort just singlehandedly broke up the eighth possession of the game.’
“Like, his impact. You can’t get into your offense. Sometimes, the shot clock winds down because of his ball pressure. He literally blows up entire plays because of that pressure. And I really believe this. Bronny will eventually be that guy.”
Given their very similar physical frames, the comparison makes sense.
Will Bronny one day prove as impactful as someone like Dort? Time will tell.
