bigDfan21 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 If your an NBA team with the first pick (which will probably be the knicks) who do you take Morrison, Reddick, or someone else. 1 Adam Morrison, Gonzaga Jr. 6-8 F 26 256 62 187 761 29.3 2 J.J. Redick, Duke Sr. 6-4 G 26 236 104 176 752 28.9 I'd take Reddick basically because of the experience and the division he plays in. With the ACC it's much harder to score because the teams are better then the teams in the West Coast conference. Also Reddick is on pace to be the highest ACC scorer of all time which is a great feat if you think about all the great players that have gone through the ACC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambrosio Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 duke players on average suck in the nba. on top of that, redick has no true position. he's not a point, he is too small to play the 2. he obviously gets tired reeal easy, the best i can see him doing is the poor man's korver. i'd take morrison (although he better shave that stache0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Morrison were to go to the draft this year (which he will) i would take reddick because of 1. the team 2. great accomplishments (ACC greatest all time scorer) 3. experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uconngiants Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Interesting today me and friends were dicussing this and one said how he Redick is Korver at best redick is just a spot up shooter he cant really create his own shot or drive like Morrison can.... and Look at the little success Duke players have in NBA besides Elton Brand Carlos Boozer and Grant Hill others have done jack shit really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He beat Wake Forrests Dickie Hemric (played in the 50's or 60's). Also Duke has a lot more good players than you think, the Duke myth is overrated. Shane Battier, Boozer, Brand, Deng, Duhon, Dunleavy, and Maggette are all good players. Grant Hill could have been an all time great without the worst ankles in recorded history. Compare that list to UCONN Ray Allen, Caron Butler, Ben Gordon, Rip Hamiton, Donyell Marshal, Okafor, Vilanueva. pretty comparable. BTW: I'm taking Morrison, he's bigger and more athletic. Redick's best case scenario is finding a team that uses him for what he is (a jump shooter that needs a lot of help to get open) similar to Rip Hamilton (but not that good).

gateb Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Nice points made on both Redick's and Morrison's side. I think you can't go wrong with either guy. I think Morrison is the more athletic one but Redick has come so far in all of his years at Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that its an overhyped myth that Duke can't produce any good pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambrosio Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 explain what you mean compare the ratio of good uconn players to bad to the ratio of good duke players to bad who have been drafted. the only busts out of uconn are jake voskuhl and travis knight, neither of which expected to be good. however duke on the other hand...

bigDfan21 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 You expected Dahntay Jones to tear up the league? After hearing the points made hange my mind. Morrison is a better player. I just don't know how NBA ready he will be. We don't need another Kwame Brown in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambrosio Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 You expected Dahntay Jones to tear up the league? no, he wasnt evne a first round pick was he? but i mean, look at trajon langdon. that in itself was one of the biggest busts i have ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
