We’ve never been one to pile on Duke players not named Boozer, basically because we don’t know anything about the guys until David Stern shakes hands with them on the podium.
That said, even we are familiar with JJ Redick – it was hard not to be, considering how badly everyone supposedly hates him. Now that he’s in the NBA Draft, he’s all ours, and since he got a DUI last night – let’s go ahead and join the fun.
According to the police report, the arrest occurred at 1:03 a.m. in the 100-block of McQueen Drive in Durham.
The police report indicates Redick made an illegal U-turn to avoid a license checkpoint. The officer followed Redick’s car, pulled him over and reported a strong smell of alcohol on Redick’s breath. The officer also described Redick’s eyes as “very glassy” during the stop.
One must naturally wonder if this affects his draft stock. If he were a top 5 guy, no worries, but some wonder whether JJ will be able to stick in the league at all.
Not that NBA players don’t get DUIs – we’d guess 75% of the league has them, if not 143%, which isn’t even possible. It’s just that usually they wait until they’re actually in the NBA, and most guys don’t have the “clean-cut white kid from Duke” stamp, either. What we’re saying is you don’t want to give a team who’s wondering a reason to disregard you. Soccer mommish fans get angry when you draft kids with DUIs.
Let’s sort through the details – he was going home at 1am, he was alone, and his eyes were “very sassy”. That translates to disloyal to your teammates, inability to pick up any girls, and his eyes were “very sassy”.
We can’t think of any players that fit that profile – looks like Redick will be slipping down the board.
(On a side note – can the police department in Durham not pony up for a nice digital camera? Do they have the internet down there yet?)

FREEEEEEEDOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Mel, go back to making religious overtoned movies!
Heh, I was thinking this might give JJ some ’street cred’.
And was it ‘very sassy’? or ‘very glassy?’ Because if it’s glassy, that can be explained by the inability to pick up chicks.
SASSY, no matter what it actually says.
I do hope you read FreeDarko’s bit on Redick today. The allegation puts his “sassiness” into the heliosphere.
HAHAHAHAHAHA…
THAT’S why he shot so bad during the tournament.
I understand he’s sitting at #5 in the WNBA mock drafts. He’d be #1 if he wasn’t so bitchy. And drunk. He’s a drunk bitch.
