Could Spurs Land Reddick?

[Buddy Holly]

I've heard he's a 20 something pick.

Why not trade for a pick.

Barry, Beno, and Nazr for a low 20 high teens pick?

Hell, would JJ be worth it?

[Kori Ellis]

What would they do with a shooting guard?

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

I don't think the Spurs need him.

[Horry For 3!]

Fuck J.J. ReDICK! He is a shooting SG the size of a PG. No, we do not need him.

[timvp]

He'd be a good draft pick if the Spurs were trying to turn into the worst defensive team in the league.

Supa Small Ball!

[kris]

JJ Reddick is not what the Spurs need. He just doesn't fit in with the Spurs to me. I think he's an awesome shooter, but if NBA defender's got him one-on-one he would get murdered. Then on defense, I'm pretty sure he couldn't stop any shooting guards and would have trouble keeping up with the point guards.

That said, I don't think any or all of those players would land Reddick. He is at least a commodity right now because of how well he performed at Duke. Other teams have started to figure out if a player doesn't work on the Spurs, he's probably not going to work. Barry had an ok season, but he's aging, not very dimensional, and has a semi fat contract. Beno has good days, but his low points get really low. Nazr is going to recieve some interest, but I think some other team would probably just sign him outright rather than trade their 1st round draft pick.

[T Park]

Why would the Spurs want a smaller, and less nastier version of Danny Ferry?

[TDMVPDPOY]

Duke Players Are Overrated!

Duke Players Are Overrated!


Yu`re right.

[ca®lo]

Derrick cant play D to save his life.

He can shoot tough.

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

how do u know? have u actually seen him play? Didnt think so...he plays really good D for only being 6'4'' 190 lbs or so...all the ESPN analysts say so too

So guys like Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless? Thanks, but I would rather go with what I see instead of what guys like that tell me to think.

[T-Pain]

we dont need redick

[polandprzem]

we dont need redick

:tu


he is fuckedup kind of guy

[lebomb]

Im black and I will tell ya this.....Reddick is one of the best shooters Ive ever seen. He may not be athletic or the best defensive player, but dammit.....he can give you exactly what we had in Steve Kerr. I will take that any day.

:king

[SPARKY]

Just pick up Devin Brown if the Jazz don't exercise their option.

[genghisrex]

If he was black, everyone would be saying this kid is the next Ray Allen.
Nothing I have seen of Redick leads me to believe that he is anywhere near as athletic as Ray Allen, and that has nothing to do with skin color. Ray may camp out and shoot 3 balls all day, but he's a pretty nasty dunker when he decides to take it inside (or at least he was when he was younger). Redick can only dream of those kind of leaping abilities. I'd say Allen's a much better ballhandler and passer too, and of course he's big enough to actually play SG on both sides of the ball.

[TDMVPDPOY]

reddick is too small to play sg in nba, his a sg in a pgs body, hell i dont even think his better than heinrich.

[exstatic]

...he can give you exactly what we had in Steve Kerr. I will take that any day.

So, we'll get 5 mpg off the bench from him? Kerr hardly played in either stint with the Spurs. He was brought in to space the floor so we could get past Utah. Turned out, they imploded and weren't the target any more.

and yet we would have lost to the Mavs if it weren't for Kerr.

JJ Redick is the best shooter on the planet. HE lit up more athletic players in college - remember what he did to Texas? HE will get his shots and he will drill them. He probably won't be a great player because of his size but he will be functional and serve a role. - Tret Tucker - Dale Ellis - Steve Kerr - there is always room on the roster for a shooter - especially the best one on the planet.

[degenerate_gambler]

we dont need redick


Hell no we don't.

Any red blooded male that would say no to an opportunity to go to the Playboy Mansion and instead rather hang out with Matt Lienart...there's something wrong there.

[T Park]

and yet we would have lost to the Mavs if it weren't for Kerr

:lol

of course, cause you have the crystal ball and all there.

[DirkAB]

JJ is going to be a hell of a player. If he was black, everyone would be saying this kid is the next Ray Allen.

Yeah right, Ray Allen that is 2 inches shorter and has 20 lbs. weights around his ankles.

[DarrinS]

Oh, please God, NO! Reddick will not be a good NBA player. Neither will that cat from Gonzaga.


NEXT.

[Dalamar_the_Dark]

Everyone said Steve Kerr couldnt guard nobody's shadow. But look at him. How many rings does he have? He made a living shooting. And he lasted a long time in the NBA. So what makes you super duper scouts think that he cant be an NBA player. I think if he falls to the second round. Hes worth a shot. He has NBA 3 range. He wont be a started but if he is a spot shooter, he could be useful in some circumstances.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Red dick?






That's f'd up.

[Ninja-Defense]

If Redick's NBA value was truly taken into consideration for the draft -- and not his vaunted Duke career and the ESPN hype machine -- then dude would be a mid-2nd rounder. He's slow, not that tall for a SG, and unathletic like all get out.

Did you see him dunk in that game this past year? His two-handed "flush" made Reggie Miller look like Fred Jones or something! And I think he had to do one of those stop-plant-then-use-both-legs-to-get-up-kind-of-dunks. Kind of like the way TP dunks on the rare occasion that he throws it down.

But dude will be gone by mid-1st round and some team will probably rue the day.

...your point being?

he doesn't need to dunk.

he's a damn good shooter

but we definately don't need another guard.

[beachbarbie948]

Hell no we don't.

Any red blooded male that would say no to an opportunity to go to the Playboy Mansion and instead rather hang out with Matt Lienart...there's something wrong there.

Hell, I'd rather hang out with Matt Leinart...but that's because I'm a girl lol.

But Matt Leinart turned down the invitation too I heard

& There's nothing wrong with him...or so I think...lol

[Bob Lanier]

Who needs Brent Barry when you can have his smaller, less athletic, less talented kid brother?

[degenerate_gambler]

Hell, I'd rather hang out with Matt Leinart...but that's because I'm a girl lol.

Just sayin'... :wtf

[ALVAREZ6]

:wtf


JJ Redick???


Are you kidding me?


I would disown the Spurs if they drafted him.

[ALVAREZ6]

JJ is going to be a hell of a player. If he was black, everyone would be saying this kid is the next Ray Allen.
If he was black, he might have some athleticism.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

you should post something about urban development i saidd

[Ninja-Defense]

My point is the last thing we need is another slow-footed, play-no-D guard out there on the perimeter. Could he be the consistent spot-up shooter that Brent Barry wasn't? I guess so. But I just don't think we need a shooter at the moment.

exactly

[T Park]

Don't need shooters.

Ne guys that can rebound and defend.

Reddick cant do either.


Put this thread back on page 2 where it belongs.

[E20]

Reddick basically gives you a much more lesser un-atheletic Brent Barry. His shot isn't probably as good as Barry's too. This kid isn't gonna be able to hang with the pros.

[Spurologist]

There will always be room in the nba for shooters.

[SequSpur]

Reddick would be the third best spurs next to Duncan and Parker

[Dunc]

Maybe he could use a couple years in Europe. Take advantage of the closer 3 point line. Although he was taking 28 ft jumpers early in the clock at Duke too.... yeah, he sounds like an NBA shooter.

[lebomb]

Say WHAT???? You dont remember Stever Kerr hitting crucial 3s against Dallas and in games that led us to the 2003 championship???

[Kori Ellis]

J.J. Redick, a likely first-round pick in this month's NBA draft, was arrested for driving while impaired early Tuesday and has was released on $1,000 bond, a Raleigh-Durham, N.C., television station reported.

WTVD, citing a police report, said that Redick was arrested at 1:03 a.m. in Durham, N.C., after the former Duke star made an illegal U-turn to avoid a police checkpoint.

The television station reported that Redick is scheduled to appear in a Durham court on July 17.

The NBA draft is scheduled June 28 in New York City. How an arrest will affect Redick's draft status is unclear.

"I think that these things hurt anybody's draft status," an Eastern Conference GM, who wanted to remain anonymous, told ESPN.com's Andy Katz. "They do in my eyes. I take these things seriously. That's too bad."

Redick had previously pulled out of scheduled workouts with Orlando and Boston this week. Previously, he had worked out for Golden State, Utah, Houston and Seattle.

Among the teams reportedly interested in Redick is Houston, which has the No. 8 pick.

Redick, who won the 2006 Wooden Award as the nation's top college player, shot 47 percent from the field, 42 percent from 3-point range and 85 percent from the free throw line in leading Duke to a 32-4 record. He finished his career with 2,769 points and 457 3-pointers.

[Kori Ellis]

Idiot.

Who is stupid enough to get a DUI right before the draft? Hold off a couple weeks, dumbass.

[Spurologist]

Idiot.

Who is stupid enough to get a DUI right before the draft? Hold off a couple weeks, dumbass.

:lol He's showing his toughness. It would certainly get him higher in the draft.

[MoSpur]

He is overrated and this should really hurt is draft status.

[Big Pimp_21]

I guess this is part of his audition to get drafted by Portland.

[Extra Stout]

Adam Morrison will be a decent pro.

J.J. Redick will have the same NBA career as Steve Alford.

P.S. Fuck Duke.

[Mavs_man_41]

JJ Redick will fail miserably in the NBA. He's too small and slow to play SG in the NBA. He might have gotten away with it NCAA but his game will never translate to the NBA.

[LEONARD]

:drunk :drunk :drunk

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2006/news/story?id=2482061

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

With his no-D and his arrest charges he's a bad reputation on legs and a Kyle Korver without the height.

[degenerate_gambler]

...Redick was arrested soon after 1 a.m. when he turned around as he approached a license check point near the Duke campus, Michael said. He pulled into a parking lot of an apartment complex after police pursued him.

"There wasn't a chase. He didn't run from them," Michael said. "He was pretty cooperative."



AHAHAHAHAHHAAA....

He saw the checkpoint and and thought "Oh shit...!!!"

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Reddick would be the third best spurs next to Duncan and Parker
Maybe you are :drunk ! No way that's ever gonna happen. If he does go to the Spurs he gonna be fightin with Melvin Sanders for the #2 spot in the injured reserve list.

[Extra Stout]

Reddick would be the third best spurs next to Duncan and Parker
You only like him because he's a short unathletic white guy.

[byrontx]

His FT % is way too high. No way he could fit in.

[ShoogarBear]

I said in another thread:

Trouble = Dukie + motor vehicle

[himat]

how do u know? have u actually seen him play? Didnt think so...he plays really good D for only being 6'4'' 190 lbs or so...all the ESPN analysts say so too

In the nba he might not be able to though. duke players are overrated like someone said. There is a reason too. Many Duke players are too 1 dimensional and they don't expand there games. Unless he gets on a team with a Shaq, or another big threat inside I don't see him doing well next year.

[Sandman52]

Oh, yeah, I remembered him when he was Jason Kapono.

[Kori Ellis]

Reddick is much worse than Kapono.

[SPARKY]

Could they? Probably.

Should they? Nope.

[exstatic]

Just what we need: a drunk Dukie. :rolleyes

[ashbeeigh]

Hell, I'd rather hang out with Matt Leinart...but that's because I'm a girl lol.

But Matt Leinart turned down the invitation too I heard

& There's nothing wrong with him...or so I think...lol


I like your thinking :tu

But for real, I agree with everyone. The Spurs don't need another SG, they should focus on getting on the rebounding and defense during the offseason.

[Spurologist]

Reddick is much worse than Kapono.

I wouldn't go that far

[THE SIXTH MAN]

No.

[furry_spurry]

According to draftexpress-- JJ Redick had failed his physical at the pre-draft camp and has some sort of back problem that could require surgery.

http://www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=1341

[Kori Ellis]

It will be interesting to see if that's true from Draft Express. If I remember correctly, the guy that wrote that got let go from another Draft site for printing quotes from people that weren't true (in other words the people never said the quotes).

[Kori Ellis]

No I don't.

It was a facetious remark. Neither one of them are good.

[T Park]

Kapono can't get minutes over a no legged Payton, uhhh no stinks.

Reddick is Matt Maloney, but with more hype.

[Kori Ellis]

Kapono is a small forward. So he shouldn't get minutes over Payton.

[T Park]

Well they need shooting ot open it up underneath for Shaq.

What I mean is, he can't steal minutes from him, to force Riley to play Wade at the 1, Posey or whoever at the 2, and him at the 3.


Thats what I meant.

[Kori Ellis]

I don't think Reddick will make it in the league at all. He's not big or strong enough to play the 2 in the NBA. He doesn't have the ball handling or passing to play the point.

He might bounce around and get some minutes here and there, but he'd have to work his ass off to become a NBA role player.

Maybe he'll do it. But DUI and an alleged back injury right before the draft isn't helping.

[Parker 09]

It's redick not reddick
having redick has its pros but there are alot more cons
He would add to the effectiveness of a 4 out 1 in as he is an incredible shooter, but his inability to guard anybody in the pros will make him a huge liability.

[doldrums]

Reddick would be the third best spurs next to Duncan and Parker

Are you playing with your home lobotomy set again?
