Adam Morrison > JJ Reddick ...............discuss
Tyler Hansbrough looked pretty damn good tonight...
Morrison is a much better NBA prospect than Reddick is.
HELL YEAH DUDE!
what a great fucking game. now on espn classic they're showing the unc at duke 1995 when...should i say what the outcome is? someone wins by 2 in double ot.
morrison is definitely better than reddick. no doubt in my mind. and i'm not just talking about stats. morrison is going to go far. reddick will go the way of most duke players when entering the nba. no place.
Morrison all the way. More size. Better handles. Has inside/outside game. Can pass.
I'm not sure how Reddick will do in the NBA. He's trying to show his all around game much more, but I don't know. One NBA scout said that he'll be like Jon Barry. One said he wouldn't even be that. Ouch. I think he's more than just a spot up shooter, but I don't know how much more.
I'm thinking Reddick will be more like Kirk Hinrich....which isn't that terrible.
i knew duke was not gonna let unc run away with it. they never do. it's a psychological factor duke has at home on any team, it just wasn't enought this time. holy shit, handborough was money.
I've only seen Reddick play about 2 games this season. Can he handle the ball as well as Hinrich? Reddick can definitely shoot off the dribble, and I've seen him drive to the basket in those 2 games. He's a great foul shooter as well. We'll see whether he can get those shots off in the pros though. I'm not a naysayer, just not a supporter.
Just got back. Tough loss, but UNC definately played great. Duke's shots weren't falling, and UNC broke down the defense. I could see Redick being a player similar to Hinrich. He'll need to continue to work on his dribbling skills (keeping his head up). The Blue Devils will be watching a lot of tape this week. Ready for March.
Watched this on the flight back home from NY tonight. I must watch a game at Cameron Indoor at some point. I've always hated Duke but their crowd is wild for the night. Reddick can't see Morrison because he has no ability to get his own shot. Son was rattled when UNC took away his looks off screens. Morrison will hit shots in your face all day. He rebounds a little too.
Morrison is a far superior player, most importantly he has that Larry Bird like tenacity/drive to win. I think he is going to be special.
oh yeah. lets see the similarities -
white
dark hair
ugly
6'4"-ish (depending on sneakers)
both colleges had blue uniforms
dark hair
white
white
dark hair
it's pretty close but i give the nod to hinrich
next to impossible. they would have to lose in the first round of the acc tournament probably, along with all the other right teams winning their tournaments.
True.

All these college cats get bumped by the media........I'm not convinced.
i hear what you're saying about reddick, but i just don't see him excelling in the league. he reminds me of casey jacobson a bit. also crazy range and good off screens, he just didn't have it. if anything its duke hatism (i admit to this) that cause all of the anti-reddickness, and less of the reverse racism.
reddick is a GREAT college player. he just plays too close to the floor to do great in the nba. he's got no spark, he's not that entertaining. i just don't see it.
Word and word.
Redick's pro prospects aren't that great, I don't think. He can't create his own shot, and at 6'4", he's going to be on the small side--most shooting guards he's going to face off against are going to be as tall or taller, and most likely more athletic. And there doesn't seem to be much to his game besides shooting.
Hansbrough looked like a real gamer yesterday, though. Dude's only a freshman? if he stays at least through his Junior year, he could be a solid Leaguer.
Apparently, Hansbrough is thinking about coming out this year. Bad idea. He needs a lot of development on the offensive end to br ready to play in the NBA.
As for Reddick hattism, dude proved that he could play this year. He single handedly tore Texas a new asshole. He has the complete O game at this point but his lack of size and quickeness is going to plague him at the next level. Does anybody see him guarding Kobe or get a shot off against Caron Butler?
holy shit, that is a bad idea. he needs to put on a lot of weight and muscle before going into the nba too. i really hope this doesn't happen.
He misses alot of and 1 chances because he isn't strong enough to finish after contact......
he needs to stay put for a few years
Seriously. I hope somebody talks some sense into him. He'll be a good pro after a few more years of college, but he'll be a pretty weak pro if he comes out after this year.
Yeah Roy Williams out coached Coach K.........It was so nice to see Sheldon "Chewbacca" Williams get outplayed by Hansbrough. GO HEELS!
