JJ Redick praises Lakers forward Sandro Mamukelashvili as a “rare” offensive talent, highlighting his ability to create, finish, and connect on the court. After a breakout 2025‑26 season with the Toronto Raptors—averaging 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists while finishing 10th in Sixth Man voting—the Lakers signed him to a four‑year, $52 million deal. In his first seven Lakers games his presence lifts the team’s offensive rating by 4.4 points per 100 possessions, despite a dip to 33.3% from three. Redick notes Mamukelashvili’s versatile skill set lets him space, screen, drive and act as a secondary playmaker, offering new options when Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves attack defenses. The next test comes Monday at 7 p.m. against the Miami Heat.
