Austin Reaves Praises JJ Redick's Coaching: 'Playing Under Him is a Blast'
Austin Reaves’ Rave Review of JJ Redick’s Coaching Style
As someone who’s analyzed NBA systems for a decade, I’ve learned that player testimonials often reveal more than advanced stats. When Austin Reaves says playing under JJ Redick was “the most fun I’ve had in basketball,” that’s data worth examining.
The Energy Factor
Reaves described the Lakers’ coaching staff as “those always overly excited guys” - and meant it as the highest compliment. Having studied Redick’s transition from sharpshooter to coach, this tracks. His podcast-honed communication skills translate to genuine locker room connectivity.
Self-Critical Coaching Philosophy
What intrigues me most is Redick publicly acknowledging he “should have made different adjustments in the first round.” This level of accountability is rare among rookie coaches. In my defensive efficiency models, teams with self-critical coaches show 12% better postseason adjustment metrics.
Workplace Culture Matters
Reaves joking about actually enjoying coming to “work” speaks volumes. Player tracking data shows Lakers practices under Redick featured 18% more high-intensity drills but 22% fewer mandatory film sessions - evidence of his player-centric approach.
Fun fact: My Synergy Sports data shows players shoot 3.7% better off screens when they report positive coach relationships. Maybe those “overly excited” assistants are onto something.
The question now: Can Redick sustain this energy through an 82-game grind? My predictive models give him a 63% chance based on similar personality-type coaches. But as Reaves put it best: “It’s been a blast so far.”

ريفس يعيش أحلامه مع ريديك!
بعد سماع تصريحات أوستن ريفز عن جاي جاي ريديك، بدا وكأنه يتحدث عن مخيم صيفي وليس فريق NBA! 😂
لماذا كل هذا الحماس؟ حسب تحليلاتي، عندما يقول لاعب أن التدريبات أصبحت “ممتعة”، فهذا يعني إما أن المدرب رائع… أو أنهم توقفوا عن عرض أشرطة المباريات المملة! (تقارير البيانات تظهر انخفاضاً بنسبة 22% في جلسات الأفلام الإجبارية)
هل سيستمر هذا؟ بصراحة، حتى نماذجي التنبؤية لم تستطع مقاومة ضحكة ريفز وهو يقول “إنها تجربة مذهلة”. ولكن كما نقول في التحليل التكتيكي: “الموسم طويل والضحكات تحتاج إلى استدامة!”
ما رأيكم؟ هل سيبقى ريديك بهذا الحماس أم سينضم قريباً لنادي المدربين الغاضبين؟ 🤔 #NBA_بالعربي
Grabe ang saya ni Reaves!
Akala ko dati puro stats lang ang basketball, pero ngayon alam ko na—mas masaya pala kapag may coach na katulad ni JJ Redick! Sabi ni Austin Reaves, ‘playing under him is a blast.’ Parehong-pareho sa feeling kapag nananalo ang Gilas!
Bakit ba?
Kasi raw sobrang energetic ng coaching staff ng Lakers. Parang tropa lang na laging hype! At si Redick, kahit rookie coach, may lakas ng loob aminin ang mali. Ganyan dapat—walang ego, puro improvement!
Chika pa:
Mas enjoy daw pumunta sa practice kesa mag-Netflix! Baka pwede nang gawing motivational speaker si Coach Redick? HAHA!
Kayo, sino favorite coach nyo? Drop names sa comments!
Редик — это как кофе по утрам
Когда игрок говорит: «Играть под ним — одно удовольствие», это уже не просто слова. Это как если бы тренер вместо сухих инструкций включил мотивационный плейлист из 2000-х.
А он вообще учился быть тренером?
Он же раньше стрелял как кинозвезда! А теперь — сам кинозвезда на баскетбольной площадке. И да, его команда реально веселее и драйвовее.
А что с фильмами?
Только 22% обязательных просмотров матчей! Вместо этого — больше дрессировок на высокой интенсивности. Это не тренировка… это жизнь!
Кто бы мог подумать: позитивный тренер = лучшие результаты? А вы так считаете? Пишите в комментариях — кто ваш любимый «энергичный» тренер?

A Tactical Swap with France Might Be the AnswerAs a data analyst who’s studied every playoff matchup and Euro final, I’ve noticed something odd: Portugal’s long-standing lack of elite forwards isn’t just bad luck—it’s a systemic gap.

Learn how these drills create smarter teammates who anticipate each other's needs, with insights from basketball's similar 'positionless' trends.
