no. cdr can shoot very well and isn't overly athletic.

jp will never be able to shoot and is only athletic.

It was a while back. I believe it was when the discussions of J.P. to Tennessee had just started. You said he was one of the most overrated players in his recruiting class. Overall, you just didn't think it was a good idea Pearl allow him to transfer to UT.

I think your main beef with him was that all the hype that surrounded him in high school was because he's tall and can dribble. I can agree with that. He doesn't have a jump shot, but he can definitely slash through the lane and finish some difficult shots.

Has anything changed?

If that was my position then, it hasn't changed substantially now.

Agree and agree on overall ability, I was just saying both players are drive first

I still think of CDR as Corey Brewer with less defense. Not a knock on CDR at all, Brewer was the 7th overall pick. That's just what I see.

1) Redick has one "D"

2.)Redick is the all-time leading scorer in the top basketball conference in the country.

3.)Redick was the National Player of the Year

4.)Redick was a lottery pick. Lofton wont be drafted most likely.


I wish it weren't true, but it is. He had back trouble prior to leaving Duke which has set him back, and Stan Van Gundy wants defense from the 2guard position in Orlando. Because he has been somewhat of a flop in the pros people and the season Durant had, people forget how good this guy was in college. I hate Duke with a passion, but this guy is a flat out better basketball player than Chris Lofton.

Wrong on both counts.

Do you at least think he's been a nice addition to the team? He does some positive things every now and then, haha. Although, I find myself yelling at him through the TV screen more than I do at anyone else.

How is the ACC not the top basketball conference in the country? Chris Lofton will not be drafted. He will test out bad in pre draft workouts, private and at the camp.

I agree Lofton probably won't get drafted, although I'm holding out hope for the guy.

But seriously... have you ever heard of the Big East?

Historically, the ACC is a better basketball conference. Just because the big east has 9g03475 teams doesn't make it the best.

And yes thats 9g03475

Redick is better than Lofton and the ACC is the best conference, year-in and year-out, over my lifetime.

HISTORICALLY...basketball has existed prior to 2006, as shocking as that is to most Vol fans.

Hey now, don't go placing the "bandwagon" title on all of us. Didn't know we were talking "historically". If that's the case, the Big Ten needs to be in the conversation with the ACC.

but the point is that the ACC is always in the conversation. the big 10 and Big East had their stretches, but the ACC has been solid for my entire life.

No, Maryland, Ga. Tech, and Duke were all very good in the 80s as well. And NC State won a National Title with the late Jimmy V at the helm. The ACC is historically the best.

Post Len Bias, Maryland was lousy in the '80s. Georgia Tech was awful until Mark Price, John Salley, Bruce Dalrymple, et al arrived in the middle of the decade.
