J.J. Redick

[Jack Lambert]

I agree with you guys. Whenever I flip on a game, with a few exceptions, at least one of the teams has a white player or two that contribute to the team. Some of the teams that don't start whites have a couple of white guys come of the bench and contribute. I agree with FootballDad, I have also noticed a lot of Div-1 teams this year that start or give whites chances to play.

But, for every Wisconsin, Duke, Purdue, Butler, Florida, or Notre Dame, there is always a team like the UConnvicts, Thug U, Marquette, the George"All Black"town Hoyas, and the program Bob THuggins runs at West Virginia.

I agree with you on the Bob THuggins at West Virgina comment. The preachers wife at my church who is a recent transplant from West Virginia and a fan of the football and basketball teams was telling me last Sunday how much she hates what Thuggins is doing, his reputation and the kinda recruits he is bringing in and that she misses the days of Coach Beilein(Christian coach) and guys like Mike Gansey and Kevin Pittsnoggle who had a couple of good tournament runs a few years ago.

I consider Redick the white and slightly slower version of... JR Smith!!!

The same goes for Beno Udrih. They both play like JR Smith.

 

[Fightingtowin]

He's been avg. 13.3 ppg over the past 9, which I believe is the best stretch of his career.

 

[JReb1]

J.J had 29 points off the bench tonight. Hopefully the Magic will eventually start Redick over Carter or trade him to a team that will...

 

[Westside]

JReb1, that is great news about JJ torching for 29 pts. Thanks for posting.

 

[JReb1]

J.J. had another good night coming off the bench (30+minutes, if only he could get those every game) with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in a Magic victory.

 

[JReb1]

J.J. Redick saved the Magic from being eliminated by coming off the
bench (while playing just 19 minutes) to be named the Top Performer for
Orlando with 14Pts (6-8 shooting) 3Rebounds and 3Assists.

Now imagine what he could do if he started and got 35 minutes a game...

[ToughJ.Riggins]

Finally even many DWFs are realizing that Redick is a legit NBA player. Unfortunately you hear "serviceable bench player" or "great 6th man" a lot. Still, that's come a long way from being buzzed by media and DWFs as a lottery pick bust that wouldn't last in the league. Redick could be the starting shooting guard for some NBA teams even in this day and age.

Do you guys think more fans are starting to pick up on his +/- and point/shot ratio efficiency?

 

[Vanilla_Sky]

The thing is JJ is insanely good, but he doesn't get enough media attention for DWFs to root for him. I was talking to someone about Redick and his excellent and performance and the only thing the person remember about JJ was that "he was that on guy like Adam Morrison".

 

[JReb1]

There's some speculation that the Suns may trade Nash to the Magic for Redick which would be good for both players. Nash would have a chance at an elusive Championship and Redick can finally start somewhere after only 7 years...


They certainly should try, and it shouldn't matter if the Suns ask for a lot in return. Parting with J.J. Redick would be a near certainty, though the Magic would be unlikely to deal Ryan Anderson as he is a legit piece for the future with or without Howard. Redick is a quality above replacement level starting guard in the NBA and would be more than enough to entice the Suns management to make the trade.

[FootballDad]

Nash for Redick would be a pretty good trade for both teams, I would think. The Magic could use Nash's quickness and veteran savvy, while the Suns could really use the shooting ability and much better defensive skills of Redick.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Would Redick even be allowed to start on the Suns? He'd obviously be playing the 2 because he's not a point guard. The top shooting guard the Suns have right now is Jared Dudley who is very average. Still you never now. Redick has been screwed over lovely because he's supposedly not athletic enough for the NBA. You guys mean to tell me the second leader scorer in the 2005-2006 college basketball season still isn't a starter after 6 years in the league? You don't say. I wonder how Redick was able to score against all those "superior" athletes in college.

 

[FootballDad]

This is a key component in the black athletic superiority myth. A white player doesn't have the "upside" to "make the transition" to the professional level. The way it is played is that these same "great" affletes somehow magnificently increase in their level of skill as soon as their name is uttered over the PA system at the NBA (or NFL for that matter) draft, while the white guys are just the same college kids.

FootballDad, do you know of any current NBA players that were defending Redick at the collegiate level? I'm sure he dominated at least a handleful of supa affletes who are now playing in the NBA during his college career.

 

[FootballDad]

Of course, since Redick was a Dukey, all of the ACC supa-affletes played against him. But it doesn't matter how many of these guys he dominated, that was in college (spoken with a proper condescending DWF sneer) and now those same ACC affletes has become athletic GODS, while Redick is still a slow, stiff, lead-footed, white (spoken with proper DWF self-abhorrence) guy.:crazy:

whiteathlete33, only 2 prominent guards currently in the NBA come to mind, but I could be WRONG, because I rarely watch it(NBA) are Ray Felton and Chris Paul, although they were point guards, they tried to guard Redick on occasion, but were routinely torched!

There were others like Maryland's John Gilchrist, GT's Jarret Jack, and who can forget the great D.J. Strawberry of Maryland, son of Darryl Strawberry. I don't believe any of these are currently in the NBA. Are they?

But again, The ACC's and Duke's all-time leading scorer(Redick), pretty much scored at will on anyone!

 

[Carolina Speed]

My mistake, UNC's Tyler Hansbrough is the ACC's all-time leading scorer, I think, maybe, ughh! Well atleast they're both white and should be starting in the NBA.

Redick did leave as the leading scorer.

Interesting, 6 of The ACC's top ten are white, 1. Hansbrough, 2. Redick, 3. Dickie Hemric, WF, 7. Laettner, Duke, 8, Gminski, Duke, 9. Jeff Lamp, Virginia.

JJ Reddick seems to be getting on track this season, and playing at a more consistent level. Even though he is still coming off the bench, he is averaging 14.2 pts per game and scored 16, 14, 18, 17 pts in his last 4 games.

 

[jacknyc]

21 pts for Reddick tonight in a win over the Clippers.
He is averaging over 14pts/game now, but still coming off the bench.

 

[jacknyc]

JJ got to start last night against the Pistons, instead of coming off the bench.
The result - 26pts, leading all scorers!

He only started 5 games this season out of a total of 40, but he's still getting very good minutes. He's averaging over 31 minutes per game which is about 6 minutes less than what a starter averages. I predicted before the season that he would average 15 ppg game this year and at the halfway mark it looks like it may happen with him averaging 14.9 right now while shooting a very solid 46 percent from the field.

 

[jacknyc]

Reddick tied a career high last night with 31 pts.
He also set a career high with eight 3-pointers.
J. Redick 31 Pts, 6 Reb, 2 Ast, 3 Steals

Reddick is proving to all (and what we have said all along), that given the opportunity and playing time, he's a 20ppg scorer in this league.

If only Fredette can rescue himself from that miserable hellhole in SAC and the racist coach who won't play him, he can be even better than Reddick.

J.J to the Bucks!!
