    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>J.J. Redick is growing more frustrated by his lack of playing time as the season progresses, but Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy continues to preach patience. Van Gundy still believes players can develop, even when they aren't playing in games as long as they are ready when their opportunity arises. "The best example is Jermaine O'Neal. He went to Portland originally and he never played, but he put in his time and continued to work hard," Van Gundy said. "He went to Indiana and was good right away, because he had continued to work on his game, even when he wasn't playing. One of the best things for a player's development is to be in a situation where he only gets playing time when he deserves to get playing time, when he's ready to play. On good teams, that makes it harder but in the long run it's better than getting 30 minutes a night in a losing situation."</div>
