Getting a decent look doesn't mean you have to be wide open. Kyle Korver is one of the best pure shooters in the league but the guy is nowhere near clutch status. Even when he has a half-way decent look.
That comparison is flawed. If you think Redick is clutch, it's only based on his college career since he hasn't played a pro game. Kyle Korver hit a ton of big shots for Creighton - in 2003 he pretty much carried them through the MVC tourney just like Gerry McNamera did for Syracuse this year. That's the performance that got him drafted. Juan Dixon hit a ton of clutch shots for Maryland but he's not considered clutch now. As I pointed out earlier KVH did the same thing for Utah.

So what makes you think that Redick will be any different when he gets "decent" or "half-way decent" looks in the NBA? It wasn't the same for those other guys when they made the adjustment to the pros. Assuming Redick will be any different is purely speculative.
