Redick has brought a new emphasis on detail, organization and data to a Lakers organization that had been criticized for being behind the times when it came to analytics. While it does need a starting-caliber center and better guard and wing depth, it now has a championship-caliber core for the first time since 2021.

Mic drops, bold lineup decisions and a massive midseason trade highlighted Redick's debut season, which ended in an early playoff exit.

After seeing his players stumble in the fourth quarter throughout a 4-1 first-round series loss to the Timberwolves, Redick says improved conditioning is a must.
