Duke Basketball News

JJ Redick,Lebron James

Former Duke basketball sharpshooter JJ Redick is picking up steam to be an NBA head coach, as his name is floating around the potential Lakers opening.

JJ Redick is one of the most recognizable faces in basketball media today, and a lot of that is due to his illustrious playing career. After following up an All-American career as a four-year Duke basketball sensation with his long and serviceable NBA career, the legendary sharpshooter has quickly become a frequent face in basketball discourse.

Now, it seems that their dynamic as peers and former competitors could turn into that of coach and player. On Thursday, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin explained on the Dan Patrick Show that the Lakers appear to be preparing top candidates for their anticipated head coaching search, as it's seemingly inevitable that they move on from Darvin Ham. The two names that McMenamin said may be at the top of the list are Redick and Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue.

The former Duke basketball pro would bring a wealth of knowledge to the position with a resume that includes being the Blue Devils' all-time scoring leader and a 15-year career in the NBA with six different franchises. BREAKING: The Lakers are prepared to look into both Tyronn Lue and JJ Redick as potential HC replacements for Darvin HamHis level of interest in the job is currently unknown. But the fact that JJ Redick has already established a working relationship with LeBron James could make him a top choice as the Lakers aim to retool and become true contenders heading into next season.
