Toward the end of the Los Angeles Lakers’ campaign in 2023-24, point guard D’Angelo Russell didn’t see eye-to-eye with head coach Darvin Ham. Ham has since been let go from that position and has been replaced by\u00a0JJ Redick, whose coaching prowess is still untested.<\/p>\n

Despite Redick’s inexperience, Russell has some positive things to say about his team’s newest head coach. During Lakers Media Day, Russell was asked about how the defensive schemes feel this season compared to last.<\/p>\n

In his response, Russell took the time to praise Redick while seemingly taking a dig at Ham.<\/p>\n

“I think last year we didn’t really have the structure defensively that we needed as a team,” Russell said. “And that kinda hurt me a little bit trying to help my teammates. But like I said, JJ’s trying to push structure everywhere and implement it everywhere and I think that’s what we need.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
