When asked about taking on more ball-handling duties, Austin Reaves said he's willing to do whatever is best for the team to help win games.

Austin Reaves thinks the benefit of having the same squad as last season will help the team "hit the ground running" to start the upcoming season.

Austin Reaves: "I think it's me just being me. At the end of the day, winning is all that matters. One night it might be me, one night it might be DLo. Obviously, Bron and AD are going to be themselves."

Austin Reaves on why he doesn't post anything on him working on his game in the gym: "Why do I have to prove to everybody that I'm working out? ... I don't have to prove to anybody that I'm working out."

Gabe Vincent played just 11 games last year due to his knee injury, and he's just excited about returning the court. "I can defend, I can make an open shot … I’m looking forward to helping this team win basketball games."

Jarred Vanderbilt on his progress after having surgery on both feet: "I feel great. The process has been going great. ... Everything has been on a great pace and great scheduling. Everything feels good."

Jarred Vanderbilt on if he'll be available for opening night: "I'm not quite sure."

“I think the whole structure and foundation these coaches brought to us is a great start.

I felt a lot of times last year we won games off talent. When you have structure of talent, you have a chance to do something special.”

Max Christie says the interest in him returning to the Lakers was "mutual" and he appreciates the organization having that faith in him to give him a new deal.

Max Christie said he's excited about JJ Redick and his staff, and has had a very productive summer: "JJ has done a really good job to start … he’s done a really good job explaining our offensive and defensive identity."

Jaxson Hayes established a bench rotation spot last January that stuck for the rest of the season. He noted that, with Christian Wood's injury, "I’m going to have to step up a lot more ... and be even a little better, even."

Bronny James sits down with fellow rookie, Dalton Knecht. "All these questions for Dalton, right?"

Christian Wood said he’s going to start ramping up in 2 weeks, and it will take another 2 weeks so he can be in shape. He’s excited that he got his surgery done early, so he can be ready for most of the season.

When asked about earning a rotation spot, Dalton Knecht says JJ Redick told him to be himself and compete, learn from all the vets.

Bronny says he and LeBron will not be carpooling to work together.

"I'd like to stay as far away as possible from that guy."

Dalton Knecht says he has focused on staying in the weight room and learning schemes and stuff since the end of Summer League.

Wood clarified this was a new injury from the previous one he suffered.

Cam Reddish on what he's talked about with the staff about his role heading into this season: "Continuing with my defensively abilities, making the right play on offense and being ready to shoot.”

He added that he's gained 5-10 pounds of muscle from lifting this offseason.

Last year's first round pick, Jalen Hood-Schifino, said he's "feeling healthy now" after rehabilitating from back surgery in March.

JJ Redick mentioned being impressed with his development this offseason. JHS: "I’m feeling great now, and am ready to go into camp tomorrow and make an impact."

Jalen Hood-Schifino says fixing his feet and finding more of a rhythm were a focus for him when it comes to shooting drills this offseason.
