The last time a Reddick played in the Vines he seemed to thrive with championship results if memory serves me correct.

Too bad, I was hoping to get someone who shoots like the NCAA career leader in 3-ptr’s made.

I think J.J. had like 10 three's in that game. Magic somehow need to get him in the rotation. His jersey is the second most sold Orlando jersey besides Howard and he sits the bench.

well, they need to get him in the lineup that is for sure...but not because of jersey sales....but i agree...he should've been mo evans' back up, not keith bogans...bogans is such an over rated defender...

Ok, I dont want to get started talking about the NBA because it ticks me off, but here we go...

... Im a HUGE Magic Fan, and I will say I always knew JJ wouldnt be much of an "NBA player" but I really hoped he could help us. I also thought that he could never play good defense, but its just hard to play him and here is a perfect example why: During one of the early games in the Detroit series we put JJ in near the 5 min mark of the 4th quarter and he came in and just played hard nosed good in your face college defense on Rip, but guess how long that lasted... ehhh about 15 seconds. The announcers (who always loved Detroit) even said "haha That obviously is a foul that the veteran (Rip) is going to get going against the young inexperienced player..." That really ticks me off, they just called it because he is the vet. So Its hard to play JJ when he doesnt get the respect from officials which should be non-existent but isnt in the NBA today. Im not a Duke fan, Im not a Carolina fan so I dont even get in that mess(unless i pull for Duke to make SJ mad) but JJ is a hard working player and I would love to see him do well, he just doesnt fit right now.

i agree...JJ, anytime he had been put into a game in the nba, has always held is own on the defensive end...and I would say bogans and JJ are on the same level defensively...for some reason bogans has got a reputation being a "solid defender" but I have seen bogans burned so many times its not even funny...JJ has an offensive game that bogans does not, plays defense better then people give him credit for and there is no reason he should not have backed up Mo Evans...no reason whatsoever....

I can't believe I agreed with TBGBG.....crazy!!! :shock: :D

The only thing I will say is JJ has a hard time watching the ball and his man sometimes, thats it though, just the coach in me :D
