In a press conference before the Lakers' game against the Warriors, head coach JJ Redick said that the team's current staff at center is so flexible that no other team can match it.

JJ Redick said, "No other team has the flexibility at center that the Lakers have with Deandre Ayton, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Koloko. But when it comes to rim protection, all three have done a great job, but they need to do better."
