Lakers News: JJ Redick Remains Confident In Jake LaRavia Jake LaRavia has struggled to find his rhythm for the Los Angeles Lakers despite the team’s recent four-game winning streak. His three-point shooting has been particularly inconsistent, with LaRavia shooting 1-for-14 from beyond the arc in March. While he isn’t known as a high-volume shooter, his ability to knock down mid-range and catch-and-shoot opportunities has been a key part of his game. His career three-point shooting percentage stands at 35.1%, but his performance with the Lakers has dipped to 31.6% this season. Despite these challenges, LaRavia has remained focused on his role and the trust placed in him by the coaching staff. Head coach JJ Redick has consistently emphasized confidence in the 24-year-old’s ability to work through slumps. Redick highlighted LaRavia’s contributions in recent games, noting his reliability in specific areas of the offense. “He’s been exemplary in his role since coming back from the All-Star break,” Redick said. “The things we’re asking him to do, he’s done at a really high level.” Redick acknowledged a recent dip in LaRavia’s performance, referencing a stretch where the forward struggled in two consecutive games. However, he pointed to LaRavia’s ability to bounce back, calling it a testament to his character. “He played terrible in both games on both ends,” Redick said, “but he’s responded like he always does. He’s been great with his physicality, rebounding, crashing the glass, and disruption on defense. His on-ball defense has been getting better as the season has progressed.” While LaRavia’s offensive struggles have been a concern, Redick stressed that there are multiple ways to contribute to the team’s success.#los_angeles_lakers #jj_redick #all_star_break #jake_laravia #luk_kennard
