Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2710221, member: 488"] I can't argue with that, but it is interesting to see how people view JJ in comparison to somebody like Klay Thompson over the last five years (stats per 36 minutes): Klay: 22.3 points, 2.5 assists, 1.9 turnovers, 2.7 FTA, 47/43/85 splits JJ: 19.8 points, 2.4 assists, 1.5 turnovers, 3.4 FTA, 46/44/90 splits Per minute numbers are always going to favor the guy who plays less minutes (in this case J.J.), so I'm not trying to frame this as a complete apples to apples comparison. Klay is also typically tasked with the assignment of guarding the other team's best perimeter player while Redick is someone you try to hide. That makes what he does as an offensive player that much more impressive without even considering the value he adds on defense (which is why he's in a different tier than J.J. as a player). But still - Klay is unanimously considered one of the greatest shooters of all-time and J.J. is basically giving you 90% of that production offensively. It's hard to imagine that Jayson Tatum was like six when J.J. was playing us in the final four. [/QUOTE]
