The New School Guard: JJ Redick


"Growing up, most kids want to be outside shooting 3s,'' said the 6-4 Redick. "I would have developed differently without it. I would have probably spent more time working on my ball handling skills, trying to be a point guard or something.''

Redick's game has changed, though. He has been able to get his shot off on his own at times and has increased his mid-range game. He has essentially become more versatile.

"If it were taken away, my points-per-game production would go down but I would still be an effective player,'' Redick said. "If the shot were worth only two points, then teams would probably pack it in more. If you have a great shooter, then it can stretch the defense.''
