J.J. Redick

Got a chance to watch J.J. play last night for the Magic vs. the Knicks. He came in the game and clanged a 3pter off the board and his man scored twice in a row. Jon Barry the announcer immediately said they have to get J.J. out of the game and put Pietrus in the game to be able to cover.

Checked his stats online, he shoots around 30% from the field, averaging 6pts per game. And no one is covering him! The other teams are running around and chasing the likes of Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkeglu, Rashard Lewis and even Rafer Alston. He's a fifth option at times.

Time to go back to Duke and sit on the bench as an assistant coach for Coach K. He can sit with his chin in his hand with one finger running up the side of his head, looking pensively at the game at hand, getting ready to jump up on the slightest questionable call and look at Coach K with tears in his disconsolate eyes.

It's really not a hard posture to get down, Wojo has the look, Chris Collins has the look, he can sit right next to them, it would be like a Mt. Rushmore of Fussy Pots.

Oh and don't forget, because it's not about producing basketball players, he'll be able to provide the country 'with future leaders' because that's what they are all about at Duke.
