Billynho: While I always loved Vinny, his career average of 9.1 ppg doesn’t exactly qualify as “impact.” He had single season averages of 14.5 (’96), 12.5 (’95) and 12.3 (’97) but that’s as good as it got.

The genius Van Gundy moved Redick from 12th man to starter tonight and he scored 10 points. Anthony Parker on the other end played 37 minutes and had 4 points, so it is not like Redick created a giant hole in the defense.

People are still commenting on this? I figured it was like the least exciting post we’ve had in four months, but what do I know. And when exactly did the Kentucky thing become relevant to the discussion? This whole post and thread have been awesome, it’s like a douchebag circus.

All you haters need to be quiet. J.J. actually needs a chance to prove himself. In the preseason, he lit it up. The Magic raved about him and how he bulked up for this year, and how hard he worked on his defense. The opener he goes 0-4 in 19min the next game 0-1 in 11min and then Van Gundy gives up on him..

are you serious??

Give him 2 weeks, playing 12-18min a game and see the numbers he’d be putting up. I mean the guy has never been allowed to get into a rhythm of regular season NBA ball, he’s got to be allowed some “growing pains” doesn’t he? The Magic might actually be saying, “Glad we drafted him” if they played him more then 3min every 5th game. If he doesn’t produce after that 2 week triall, fine, he’s a bust. But you gotta give the guy a chance.

And if he SUCKS so much like everyone says, then why won’t the Magic get rid of him then? There’s got to be a reason behind that, oh wait, I think I know the answer – HE DOESN’T SUCK! If a team gave him some PT he actually could produce 10-15pts a game. He played at DUKE for Christ’s sake, a program whose coach preaches MAN on MAN defense.

I’m not saying he’s the next Chris Mullin – but he’s has 12ppg ability, and I just hope he’ll get a chance to prove himself for a team one day soon.
