Watch Redick move without the ball. Really watch him. Watch how hard he works.
That dude worked his arse off to keep himself in the league when people said he wouldn’t make it, and he’s worked his arse off to keep himself in the league. Dude is smart, works fricking HARD, and is a winner.
If a guy has stayed in the league that long at a high level, any player could take something from that.

But players could learn more from other vets. That’s my point. We chose a one trick pony to be a veteran presence in the locker room, and he’s too much of a niche for most players to learn from him in depth. Same reason the dude has invited other players to summer workouts for years and never had anyone take him up on it. You’re learning a very niche skill set. Most players have little time to go heavy into targeting one skill set like JJ does. They’re not being paid to be a liability in defense, rebounding, and passing
Edit: everyone can argue that the players need to go learn from him and stuff, but this is a common trend throughout his career. These dudes do it for a living and almost nobody will take him as a mentor or workout with him. Maybe they don’t like him, maybe it’s a personality thing, but I doubt it. I think he’s too unrelatable from a skill set perspective for most players
