He won't be a lottery pick. I'm sure some deep team looking for perimeter depth will take him in the first round (Phoenix or Detroit maybe), but a 6'4" SG who's not very athletic or quick, plays TERRIBLE defense, doesn't handle the ball well, and has little to no upside - doesn't sound like a franchise player to me.

He plays in a system that's fits him perfectly. He's gets to curl off screens and take a ton of shots against mediocre college defenders because he's the focal point of the offense. That won't be the case in the NBA. I doubt teams will even run specific plays for him, let alone make him the center of their offensive strategy.

And if you think he's clutch, go back and watch the 2004 Tournament game against UConn. He single-handedly cost them the title with his 2nd half choke-job. Laettner was clutch. Duhon was clutch. Even Dockery is clutch. But Redick? No way. To paraphrase Jerry Stackhouse, "He's a garbage player."
