JJ Redick’s first two years with the Lakers are interesting because the numbers tell two different stories.

Offensively, there’s real progress. LA went from a 115.9 offensive rating in 2024-25 to 118.2 in 2025-26, jumping into the top 10 at 9th in the NBA. The Lakers also became one of the most efficient shot-making teams in the league, ranking 2nd in eFG% at 57.0% and 2nd in true shooting at 60.9%.

That part reflects well on JJ. The offense had structure, the stars were empowered, Austin Reaves continued to grow, and Luka’s arrival gave the Lakers a true engine to build around. LA also finished 20-6 in clutch games, the best mark in the league, which says something about late game execution, trust and shot creation.

But the other side of the ball is where the questions remain. The Lakers were around 17th in defensive rating in year one, then fell to 19th in 2025-26. The net rating only moved from +1.2 to +1.7, which is solid, but not elite. That’s the difference between a good regular-season team and a real title-level team.

The biggest issues under JJ have been defense, consistency, bench stability and offensive variety. Too much of the attack can still become Luka/LeBron/Reaves creating something late in the clock. The shot making is elite, but the roster still needs more off ball shooting, athletic wings, rim protection and reliable defenders who can survive playoff matchups.

So I don’t think the takeaway is “JJ can’t coach.” I think it’s more accurate to say he has proven he can build a high level offense, but Year 3 has to be about balance. If Rob Pelinka gives him a better defensive roster around Luka, JJ has to prove he can turn top 10 offense and elite clutch play into a complete championship profile.

The foundation is there. Now the Lakers need the defensive identity to match.
