• JJ Redick: Lakers Will Empower Anthony Davis To Win Big Awards

  Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis typically flies under the radar when it comes to NBA awards with him never winning Defensive Player of the Year despite being among the best defenders in the league for the last decade being a prime example.
  New Lakers head coach JJ Redick is partly responsible for that as a former media member that voted on those awards. He notably left Davis off his All-Defensive ballot completely, which definitely could have bothered the 31-year-old.

While Knecht may be NBA-ready from the jump, James will likely need a year or two in the G League to develop his game.
