Redick’s Star

Enough about his Duke career. No more talk about his injuries. Forget about his lack of playing time as a rookie. After showcasing his talent in this year’s summer league, J.J Redick has proven he deserves his chance to play in the NBA.

The Spurs and Mavericks are the other top contenders out west. And the biggest surprise last year, the Los Angeles Clippers, return stronger and with more experience.

It started after the all-star break last year and will continue this year. It’s the NBA’s biggest sleeper team: The Orlando Magic.
