He can't guard anyone. I give him a pass for not being able to guard Ray Allen, but Eddie House abused him also.
He has worked on getting stronger, so I can praise him for that dedication but he has the EXACT same problems now that he had his whole college/NBA career....
1) he cant defend. Way too slow laterally.
2) one trick pony. He can shoot but he gives you little else, no assists, no boards, no steals.
3) his shot accuracy in college was sorely overrated because of the media. Seriously, Rashad McCants had a higher 3 pt percentage than this guy, yet Redick was considered one of the best shooters EVER by many!
Reads post...... looks at avy....
**** here.
Salt-e.
you know there is a middle ground right? Its not, Redick Lover or Redick Hater. I can appreciate that he has improved his body, but he lacks seriously in defense, assists, rebounds, steals or anything NOT shooting. Not to mention, he really stunk it up some games in the playoffs shooting the rock
ohhhhh wow, what a middle ground. Youre giving him credit for getting muscular yet bash all of his basketball abilities that arent shooting. Thats really compromising.
but nothing I said isn't true. You do realize that correct?
Seriously, he is the perfect example of why the NBA has too many teams. The talent level is watered down now. 20 years ago, he's not even on an NBA floor. Of course, he wouldnt be now if not for Lee's injury.
Boss...you are coming off as a salty dog here....JJ Redick is a perfect example of why the NBA has too many teams? Go sit yourself in a corner somewhere. You're saying a shooter like JJ Redick wouldn't be on an NBA floor 20 years ago?
if you think Redick wouldve been a lottery pick 10 years ago, youre crazy. Ray Allen could do whatever he wanted. All shooters miss shots.
Secondly, if he is so amazing, then why did Orland wait until they had INJURIES to play them? Their own staff let him ride pine for over 2 years.
And what did he and Turk shoot in game 6? Great shooter I thought
Where did I say ANYTHING about him going LOTTERY 20 years ago????
So, you are attributing Ray Allen's struggles to him "just missing shots?" No, he was being chased all over the court and had a hand in his mug95% of the time he went up to shoot. No one (at least not me) is going to argue about how or why JJ got the minutes he did. Obviously a couple of factorsplayed in to that decision. However...there is NO denying that Redick made the most of his opportunity. Here's a guy who everyone labeled as a shooterand nothing else, but came up HUGE by playing strong on the defensive end when his shot wasn't falling. If Damon Jones' shot isn't falling,he's out of the game. If Eddie House's shot isn't falling, he's out of the game. You can go on and on with shooting specialists/instantoffense type of guys who would be PULLED from the game if they aren't putting the ball in the hoop...Redick found a way to help his squad WITHOUT doingwhat he's known for...and that is shooting. I just don't get why it's so hard for you to give credit to the guy for doing a good job. Like I saidbefore, the TNT crew saw him playing good defense, and the color guys as well....you must not have been watching or paying attention. Oh that's right...nocredit can be given because "all shooters miss shots."
