    They may not be as good as some recent teams and may not go as far in post season play but they have been a lot of fun to watch. They do not just kill everyone they play like Duke usually does. They have to play really well to beat people. It is nice seeing that sort of thing come together for this team. Seeing guys like Melchioni and Love play well is what college basketball is all about. Coach K has done one of his best jobs ever this year. Even if this team goes out early in the NCAA tournament they have had a good year.

    Wow. Finally, I agree with Thelt. :xyzthumbs

    I think Redick may turn into my all time favorite Duke player.

    Reddick is a good player. He will likely have a good future in the pros too. He is a great shooter and he has enough athletic ability to not be a big liability on defense.

    have to disagree with you here.

    Redick does not play defense. He will get abused in the NBA. He has great range and is a streaky shooter and looks great when he's on - but I doubt many NBA teams will run a multiple screen offense just to shake him loose like dook does.

    He will probably be like Chris Mullin in the pros.

    Redick is not a great defender by any means especially on the pro level but he will not be a complete wash either. He is not going to get abused by average players. His value as an outsider shooter who can keep teams from packing it in on a big man will be great. NBA teams will not have to run screens to get him open. They will throw the ball into a Shaq or Duncan and let them draw double and triple teams so they can kick it ou to a wide open Redick. He may not be a great NBA player but I think he will be productive and valuable. The olympic team certainly could have used a player who can shoot.

    by your statement he could only play for the Heat or Spurs. He does have Steve Kerr potential at best.
