Redick is ready to give it his all as Clippers' new SG

Redick may not talk trash, but he won't shy from confrontation. Redick may not throw the first blow, but he won't tolerate being pushed around. Redick may not beat his chest after knocking down another shot, but he won't just ease back down the court if the moment calls for a little celebration.

Redick admitted that when he visited Minnesota during the free-agency period, he asked Timberwolves Coach Rick Adelman about starting.

"But I never asked Doc that," Redick said. "I really didn't care. I just figured that if they were going to go after me in free agency, if they were going to make a trade like that, I was going to play. And that was what was important to me, not necessarily being penciled in as the two guard. It's great if it happens. It's great if that's what it ends up being for the year. But that's not a huge priority."

During training camp, Rivers liked what he saw of Redick on the defensive end.

"He's a great team defender," Rivers said. "He's never going to be an on-the-ball stopper. We don't need him to be. We need him to be in the right spot. And he's always in the right spots that you tell him to be. That's all you can ask of anybody on your defense."

as a UNC fan, I hate Duke. But i couldnt be happier with us grabbing JJ as our 2 guard. we needed 3 pt shooting and he provides exactly that. I saw him burn UNC more than enough times to be ecstatic that hes on "my side" now

I never liked Duke. They're up there with Kentucky for my most despised teams. I have nothing but respect for Coach K though.

You gotta love the attitude from all the clipper players. The clippers seem like a 'happy' team. most teams play their best when they are enjoying the game. They are more likely to put in the extra effort. I never was a fan of JJ and he is far from amazing but I can't deny that I believe he is the exact kind of SG that we have been looking for.
