00:00The Lakers as adding Lindsey Harding to the coaching staff, another female basketball coach added to an NBA staff. Good news for the Lakers and she has a tie to JJ Reddick. She was on the Sixers coaching staff when JJ Reddick was playing there, correct?
00:24Correct. You know, it pains me to acknowledge this as well, but they are both proud Duke Blue Devils as well. And they're two of the biggest names to play basketball at Duke. And Lindsey Harding is a coach who is really making a meteoric rise up the ranks on the men's side of coaching.
00:39And I think that, you know, she has a very good chance to be the first female head coach in the WNBA. That's how good of a coach she is. That's how good of a job she did last year with the Stockton Kings, the G League affiliate of the Sacramento Kings.
00:52So it's a great move from her to go from Stockton to go to L.A. to work with JJ Reddick. I think her player development is going to be a big key in this Lakers team because they're relying on a lot of young guys on that roster, having bigger roles than people probably anticipated them having because they struck out on so many free agents this offseason. So she could very well be the most important person on a Lakers bench this year.
