Kyle Korver is nothing special, i'd rather take Redick if I had the chance. Redick's shot is really out of this world.
Haven't seen Redick play since i don't pay too much attention to college 'ball so i would go with Korver. But if Redick is really what you guys say, he should be very interesting 2 watch.
Korver just stands around the perimiter of the 3 point line waiting for a pass. Reddick dribbles the ball, fights through screens and creates shots.

I'd take Redick. I think he'll win you more games. He can shoot from anywhere on the court. Neither are number 1 scoring options. (maybe a 3rd or 4th scoring option on most teams). Redick reminds me of Rip Hamilton and Reggie Miller the way he is always running on the offensive end of the court. Now he isnt as big as either of them, but he still reminds me of them. I garuntee he is a more conditioned athlete than Korver. Last year Redick played nearly the whole game. Redick i think will be like a Craig Hodges when Hodges played with the Chi-town Bulls in the early 90's. Come off the bench and score in bunches.

I'll pick JJ because he can create his own shot better than Korver and I think he'll be a better shooter than Kyle. JJ will be interesting to watch in the NBA

It is pretty obvious that both will be on the court just for their three point shooting ability. Both will be defensive liabilities, neither will be rebounders, or are going to be breaking down the defense with their driving abilities since neither really has any. They will both be on the court to stretch the defense and score points with their three point shooting ability. I see Redick being slightly better for the same reason other people have put, he will be in motion and moving around without the ball more than Korver does. His great conditioning will allow him to run around until the guy guarding him gets tired of moving through screens, and chasing Redick making him much more deadly in late game situations. Like other people also put, i just think Redick has a better shooting stroke than Korver does, so he will be better at what both are good at.
Ask this in a year. The fact that Redick hasn't played a single NBA game makes me not answer the question.
How are we supposed to debate this when JJ Redick has not yet, stepped a foot in an NBA Game?If it is who I think will have the better career, Id say JJ. Yeah. Ok. I am a JJ hater but Korver isnt anything spectacular. JJ is great without and with the ball. He can get by the perimeter defender and hit a jumper. It will be alot harder for him to do that in the NBA though. Also, like Korver he is a great shooter. I expect him to be a better shooter than Korver too.
Considering we know what Korver is, a very average SG, i'd take Redick considering we don't know what he could be.
redick is gonna be something special, his shot is just amazing. has anyone seen how hot he can get? he just can't miss when he wants to shoot.as for korver.. he's okay. nothing compared to redick. all this college to NBA stuff is dumb. because for guards it's easier if you think about it.. okay so the size is bigger. but the defense is weaker. so you're not as fast, but then you run plays to get around that (picks etc.)redick'll be good.

He'll drop 40 on Tuesday and shoot 5-20 on Wednesday.
