JJ Redick Calls Gabe Vincent a 'Valued Member' After Standout Lakers Preseason Showing

Redick emphasizes Vincent's leadership as the staff evaluates his best role.

Overview

  • Vincent led the Lakers with 16 points and 5 assists in 19 minutes during a 111-103 preseason loss to the Warriors on October 5.
  • Redick praised Vincent’s consistency, pace and command in pick‑and‑roll action, calling him a valued presence regardless of on‑ or off‑ball duties.
  • In his first preseason appearance, Vincent said he felt good to be back on the floor and wants the team to build on the outing.
  • The guard is navigating a shift from primary ball‑handler in Miami to a complementary role in Los Angeles, which Redick acknowledged is a difficult transition.
