text: who is better j.j. redick or adam morrison? i think adam is better but people don't seem to think so. his stats are better and he is more of a leader for the last time. morrison is better. he can shoot, create his own shot(by moving and off the dribble). he is an excellent passer as well as a better rebounder. while reddick maybe a pure shooter he lacks the medium game and can't beat anybody off the dribble. against long, athletic, & lean players he struggles to get his shots a la temple from lsu or those guys against florida st. (his poorest performances of the year). at 6-4 he lacks the ballhandling skills to play point and can't guard. in the nba he would see those 6-6 to 6-8 athletic 2's every night and would get murdered. his game is great for college but it does not translate to the nba. he could be a shooter like steve kerr or john paxson but that's dependent on a low post presence to draw a double teams or a dynamic point for draw and kicks. shelden williams should get a third of his points for creating doubles for him. morrison is a liability on defense but he looks like a gym rat and will work to be a average one-on-one defender aka bird. but leadership and that assassin's approach to the game is what really seperates the two. for example, jordan, magic, and bird are assassins. while competing they would smile in your face but drop a 3 with no time remaining, they willed their teammates to be better, and have rings to show for it. guys like ewing, karl malone, and barkley could play but didn't know how to close the deal. if morrison played with duke, they would be playing this weekend. they said the same about bird because he went to indiana st. but the boy was bad. just a thought.
