Los Angeles Lakers newest star Luka Doncic shares how he feels about JJ Redick as a coach after loss to the Utah Jazz.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick was seen snapping back to reality after he was smiling non-stop after seeing Luka Doncic on the bench.

LeBron James and Luka Doncic could be a very deadly superstar tandem for the Lakers, and head coach JJ Redick knows it.

Having played 23 minutes in the game, Luka Doncic scored 14 points and registered 4 rebounds and as many assists. Yet the star guard drew flak. According to many experts, Doncic was slow in the offence and not actively engaged in defence.
