Does anyone think that J.J. Redick will excel in the NBA like others????

I think that he will do just fine, but don't expect him to come right into the league and make a great impact because remember the NBA is a different league than college. He will have to be on a team where other players can contribute and there is a good post presence. He is a pure shooter and can not hold it down by himself so he will have to be on a good team, not a great team. Maybe if he was on the Denver Nuggets team, it would give them another threat, or the Cavs, so that the pressure would not always be on Bron. He might even fit with the Bulls, 76ers, Wizards, Lakers, or one of those team where he would not have to come in being the primary scorer and they can have an inside and outside game, you know where someone else that can be a threat so he can do what he does best, SHOOT THREE's

Personally, I think J.J. had a fantastic season in College Hoops this year, but we saw what could happen to him when someone plays the right kind of defense and the team relied on his scoring so much that it put him in the same situation that LeBron was in during the semi-finals. So with that, I look at J.J. to go at least number 9 or 10. Dee Brown is a very speedy guard, and we know how well they're utilized in the league, but there are questions about his inconsistency shooting from the outside. So Dee may go at about number 16. James Augustine is a good all-around player, but I feel another season in College Hoops would have brought his stock up dramatically in the next draft. He's coming in too early. May be picked up late 1st rd. or even early 2nd.

Yes.  With his agility, speed and power, he promises to be good.  There will be an adjustment period, but I honestly think he will be among the greatest if he can stay healthy.\n\nAnd not latteral the ball.

I don't think there might ever be another Jordan for a while, who knows? Some players in the NBA now that are almost at his level are: Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and I can't think of anyone else (I bet there's others though). I really don't think a rookie can match Jordan's level a year or two in the NBA... maybe even three (that's why I was a little hesitant to put LeBron, who is good, but not good enough to be called "King James"... that's just ridiculous!)

Reddick is a great shooter. Yes, I will give him that. But if the refs called every pushoff before he shoots, he wouldn't have nearly as many points. Watch next time he plays-before most shots he WILL push off. Notice that I said he is a great shooter. Not a great ballplayer. He is a one dimensional player. Catch and shoot. Catch and shoot. Make him put the ball on the floor!! Redick is overrated and talked about way too much. I do, however, like his personality. He is not cocky and that is nice to see. It will be interesting to see what happens to his attitude in the future. I think that he will get to the NBA and sortof fizzle out like a lot of Duke greats. They will make him dribble and play D in the pros. If JJ had a better team to play with, you wouldn't hear as much about him as you do. Duke is nothing but the Redick and Williams (Shelden) show. Without those two players, they would be nothing. That is part of the reason that JJ shines as brightly as he does. Sorry I am so negative, but I call em like I see em. I just can't jump on the JJ bandwagon.

If he comes back at 100% yeah he was an awesome talent...but even at 100% he would have to overcome two great teams in the Western Conference...I can see the Suns reaching 60 but that doesn't get he the Western Conference Championship..between teams of the upper echelon in the West I don't think home court advantage is going to mean that much San Antonio had it this year..so number of wins isn't a guarantee of a championship...without changes I still think it will be competitive between the top three in the west Dallas Phoenix and San Antonio but i still see it in this order Dallas and San Antonio and then closely followed by Phoenix.....and the Eastern Conference is becoming a non issue the best teams seem to be headed downhill. Thats how I would sum it up with a complete recovery of Stoudemire which I dont think is very likely.

JJ is very good diffently one of the best shooters but sadly not best player when he can dunk it and dominate down low then he is but Im a huge DUKE fan and he is amazing guard and very clutch.... close but not close enough

Yes. He's been in the league for three years now. He's already been an allstar two times, has been the youngest player to win an allstar mvp award, is third in the L in scoring this season, an mvp candidate also this season, and James finished the regular season averaging 31.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists to join Oscar Robertson, Jerry West and Michael Jordan as the only players in league history to get 31-7-6 in a season. He had a triple double in his very first playoff game.\nThink what he could become a few years from now.

yes why ask he has the record to show it he can come off a screen and make it on the run he can take a dribble or 2 and drain it comin from a bigg JJ fan i would say yes he hit a 34 footer agaist someone the other day it said on espn it was a long shot. he's awsome and the best 3 shooter in the ncaa noone can shoot as good as him off the screen

The way Dywane Wades going he will def be a nba star that would be remembered for decades to come!! He totally has the potential of becoming the next Jordon!! I though Lebron had the stuff but not until i say D Wade!!

To tell you the truth, I'm fed up with Kwame. I mean c'mon man! Last year, he declared he'd have a breakout season, and averaged 7 points. Hello! Is that a breakthout season?\n\nThis year, he says he's also eyeing a breakout year. Well that I've got to see to believe.\n\nTo Kwame Brown, just cut the bullshit and be man enough to admit that you're the worst number 1 draft pick in the history of the NBA.\n\nAs for me, I'm the BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER ever to grace this earth. Yea you heard me right! I'm the BEST. I'm even better than Jordan. And to prove it to all of you, I'm gonna win this year's scoring title. And then I'm gonna win some more in the years after. No one is gonna stop me, not iverson, not my lousy teammates, and definitely not jackson's stupid triangle. It's ballhoggin' time!

Yes i do agree with you J.J Reddick is a man, but look at all that other players do to spark their team.. Villanova lost without Allan Ray. Anyways, there are tons of spot up shooters in the NBA so i think J.J. should work on other areas of his game (such as defense)

no thats not how dwayne wade plays. hes prolly the most straight forward star there is in the NBA. hes gonna give it all hes got all the time. Dwayne Wade is pretty much the man behind LJ.

Maybe he's good in college, but it doesn't necessary mean that will translate into success in the NBA. The knock on him is his quickness, height, and one dimensional game. NBA is way more competitive and he will have a much harder time finding open looks. Still, he's an excellent shooter and competitor, and should be drafted in the top 20.

YES! he's the best in basketball right now. :) lol
