Perhaps he is. But that isn't the question. The point is one player prior to this season had been significantly better than the other at getting to the line. In my opinion (and if I'm alone here, that's fine), that has considerable value given how it not only can lead to points (not in the fourth quarter when Redd's at the line unfortunately) for your team but it can put key players on the opposing team in foul trouble. When I evaluate scorers, I place a greater value on the ones who can do that as opposed to the ones who typically cannot.
But again, maybe I'm the only one who feels that way.
