JJ Redick - Constant Motion (Off Ball Movement)

Did you know that the LA Clippers finished this season as number one in offensive efficiency? After Chris Paul (resume need not be listed) and Blake Griffin (you know, that guy who was third in MVP voting last year), JJ Redick (within Doc Rivers' schemes) is arguably the most important offensive piece for them. His constant movement causes chaos for the defense and creates opportunities everywhere on the floor. A hard curl opens up a drop off down low. A quick flare produces an open triple. Floor spacing generates driving lanes, which allows the Clippers to go into full-on Lob City. Without Redick’s relentlessness, opposing teams could punish Paul, Griffin & Jordan by packing the paint and force them to grind it out. That’s not to say that they can’t still win that way (they’ve been known to grind on occasion), but JJ just jumpstarts the offense.

JJ Redick has improved practically every year he’s been in the league (with the exception of a few down years, which you know, is bound to happen). He’s so incredibly fun to watch and I really enjoy that he’s flourished with Doc in LA. I had originally planned to make separate videos of his passing off the curl, all his flares, a video of him putting the ball on the floor, and quite a few (yes, it was ambitious), but I realized that when those are divided up, the impact of what he does is minimized. Only when all (well, a small portion) of the things he does on the floor are taken together, then we can start to comprehend his significance. You know, that his whole game is greater than the sum of its parts. He's come a long way and he’s definitely not just jumpers anymore.

The pump fakes, the textbook form, the fantastic footwork to get the body squared up and everything turned at just the right time make him a fascinating study. I can’t not like this guy. You should like his game too! He’s hard it hard enough as is. Remember, this was a guy Coach K said had a tougher time than Christian Laettner, and that dude has a 30 for 30 about how much people hate him. Yes, he’s a Blue Devil. Yes, he’s the all-time leading scorer at Duke, but you know, the only people who should dislike him now are the guys who have to run through screens and haul ass trying to catch him.

most underrated shooter in the game. great video.

For some reason, whenever I play as the clippers in 2K, Redick usually scores 30+ points because I take a lot of shots with him. I love his sharpshooting.

Best Highlight by far. Show how important off ball movement should be, especially for a shooter

[zionbrown]

Finding JJ Redick videos are hard to find that aren't Duke videos. Thank you for adding to it. (Hits subscribe)

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what a hard working player looks like.

Rip Hamilton did this all the time in his great days as a Piston

[MrPranker]

Simply the best at coming tight off those screens... 😥love watching him

[pairo]

[jhung]

effective and consistent plays here, wow!!

Thanks for your uploads! Your videos are very unique and give an up close angle that most basketball spectators don't see in the game of basketball. You deserve a lot more subscribers than you currently have.

JJ reddick on the clips was one of the best first quarter scorers ever. it was crazy to watch he literally played way better in the first lol

[josephnebenzahl]

his motion is unbelievable, they should let him handle the ball as well

1:22 best read (by redick AND paul) imo

[nelfe]

Great video. Shows different ways to get open: curl, pop, fade, dribble handoff, curl and pass to roll man. Great job

[bestkept]

I miss JJ Redick. I was waiting for him to enter top 10 in 3’s but then he retired.

[deandrepage]

J.J. would have been awesome in Portland with those, "Set Plays" off Flare Screens. Kind of sad he's going to Philadelphia 76ers.
Please spare me the speech about how much they are improving.
Different players get injured every 2 weeks.

[jakemiller]

You should do one of these for Kyle Korver. great video by the way.

[HunchoHamza]

When you have a guy like this who can make about three or four on any night even a bad night of the screens. Two of the most explosive bigs in history to just lob it up too. as well as other reliable players Cp should be averaging 13 assist a game he has a lot of talent this is more than enough ti get you past the second round.

[kheok]

He would have fit well with the warriors
