LA Lakers coach JJ Redick stands by his decision to keep Anthony Davis at center. Following the Lakers' 97-87 loss on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Redick was asked why he decided against having another big guy with Davis.
Despite not having a traditional frontcourt duo, the Lakers outplayed the Wolves in the rebounding department. Los Angeles grabbed 53 rebounds, while Minnesota secured 48 boards.
Unfortunately for the Lakers, the Wolves scored 44 points, outscoring them from inside the paint. Conversely, LeBron James and his teammates scored 38 points in the paint.
Reporters were interested in learning why Redick doesn't start AD with another big guy. Fans and the media are calling for Davis to return to his primary role as the power forward.
