湖人记者Mike Trudell报道，在描述奥斯汀·里夫斯缺阵后湖人缺失的部分时，JJ·雷迪克提到了他打球时的那种“暴力”——里夫斯以篮球智商、角度和力量的结合冲击防守。雷迪克补充说，这首先是一把刀，然后是一把大锤。
In describing part of what the Lakers have missed with Austin Reaves out, JJ Redick described the “violence” that he plays with, Reaves attacking defenses with a combination of IQ, angles and force. Redick added that first, it’s a knife, and then, a sledgehammer.
