AK – 11:53 PM</p><p>Smush Parker also weighed in on Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell playing with today’s Laker team and his role with LeBron James. “I don’t know D’Angelo too well, but I do know LeBron James’ game and he’s ball dominant,” he said. “D’Angelo is a playmaker that’s used to having the ball in his hands but you have to understand that’s not your role anymore. I’m talking about D’Angelo Russell now. You have to become a spot up shooter when you’re playing with a guy like LeBron James; almost like I had to play when I was playing with Kobe Bryant. But again, you have to know how to adapt to your teammates and that’s what good basketball players do, you know? You know what your role is on certain teams and then elevate your game to that level that it needs to be.” -via ScoopB.com / October 8, 2024 </p><p>JJ Redick’s players are noticing how his basketball obsession and attention to detail are being revealed. “For me to see how JJ is trying to bring the play calls and just level of IQ into each practice and each film session, to see how he’s prioritizing that,” said D’Angelo Russell. “I’ve always been a guy that wants to prioritize high IQ, high verbiage, high film sessions … like, ‘Let’s rise to that.’ And he’s obviously doing that. It’s something to look forward to.” -via NBA.com / October 7, 2024 </p><p>In fact, Russell was on the golf course in the afternoon after a training camp practice, and found himself thinking about one of Redick’s after time out plays (called an ‘ATO’ in NBA parlance). Russell recorded a voice note and texted it to JJ, thanking him for putting out a play he’d never seen before, and sharing his excitement. “It’s been great,” echoed Rui Hachimura. “I think the good thing about it is he was just in the league so he knows exactly what is happening in this league right now. So he can teach and coach us from the player standpoint. It’s easier for us to understand. It just makes sense. Whatever he says just makes sense; it’s good.” -via NBA.com / October 7, 2024 </p></div></body>
