Former NBA player and current analyst JJ Redick has shared his reasoning behind the decision for Los Angeles Lakers prospects Cameron Carr and Bronny James to spend time in the NBA G League, according to a report by Robert Marvi for Lakers Wire on November 7, 2026.
The move aims to provide both players with valuable development minutes and experience against professional competition. Redick, known for his sharp basketball analysis, reportedly emphasized the importance of consistent playing time for young players' growth.
Carr, a rookie guard, and James, the son of Lakers superstar LeBron James, are both expected to benefit from the increased responsibility and game speed in the G League before potentially contributing to the Lakers' rotation.
