Mole Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 From ESPN.com J.J. Redick, a likely first-round pick in this month's NBA draft, was arrested for driving while impaired early Tuesday and has was released on $1,000 bond, a Raleigh-Durham, N.C., television station reported. WTVD, citing a police report, said that Redick was arrested at 1:03 a.m. in Durham, N.C., after the former Duke star made an illegal U-turn to avoid a police checkpoint. The television station reported that Redick is scheduled to appear in a Durham court on July 17. The NBA draft is scheduled June 28 in New York City. How an arrest will affect Redick's draft status is unclear. "I think that these things hurt anybody's draft status," an Eastern Conference GM, who wanted to remain anonymous, told ESPN.com's Andy Katz. "They do in my eyes. I take these things seriously. That's too bad." Redick had previously pulled out of scheduled workouts with Orlando and Boston this week. Previously, he had worked out for Golden State, Utah, Houston and Seattle. Among the teams reportedly interested in Redick is Houston, which has the No. 8 pick. Redick, who won the 2006 Wooden Award as the nation's top college player, shot 47 percent from the field, 42 percent from 3-point range and 85 percent from the free throw line in leading Duke to a 32-4 record. He finished his career with 2,769 points and 457 3-pointers. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Guest Smues Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I love J.J. Redick, but I hate drunk drivers. Way to go moron. He's lucky he didn't injure himself or some one else.
naiwf Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 If he's already drinking now, imagine what he'll do when his draft stock plummets on live TV in a few weeks. Dumbass.
Art Sandusky Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I hope we're enjoying National Dumb Athletes Week.
Failed Bridge Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 At least he's keeping up the tradition of dumb Duke basketball players.
Damaramu Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I hope we're enjoying National Dumb Athletes Week. Is it time for Miami players to commit a crime yet?
C Dubya 04 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 It was DWI too. That's the really bad one.
Mik Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I love it. He pulled an illegal U-Turn to avoid a checkpoint and got arrested for that. LOVE IT. I hate J.J. and his poetry and I only wish I got to see him once at the Smith Center because he got heckled pretty bad there.
Guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I want him to fall far in the draft, for obvious reasons.
Black Lushus Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 now all we need is a Cornhusker to beat up a chick and all will be right with the sports world.
Special K Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Hey! Hey! Guys! I came up with a new pun that has never been used before ever! That's Redick-ulous. Never been used before. Came straight out of my brain.
Hawk 34 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Now he'll get that street cred he needed so badly
the max Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I wish JJ would have been drunk enough to drive into a telephone pole and die while his car is on fire! GO HEELS!!!! [/geniusMoment]
therealworldschampion Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Gee I can't wait for Vitale's spin on this whole situation...
Hawk 34 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I hope we're enjoying National Dumb Athletes Week. Is it time for Miami players to commit a crime yet? Ben already did that on yesterday.
the max Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 I hope we're enjoying National Dumb Athletes Week. Is it time for Miami players to commit a crime yet? Ben already did that on yesterday. Miami, FL is the college with the felons. Ben Roethlisberger went to Miami (Ohio).

Miami, FL is the college with the felons. Ben Roethlisberger went to Miami (Ohio). No shit sherlock. It's still Miami. He wasn't specific and it was sarcasm. Miami(OH) has its own felons like Miami(FLA), we just have better lawyers.

Maztinho Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 So how far does Redick fall now? Does he get picked up by a good team in the early twenties and become a contributor right away?
Hawk 34 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 One guy wrecks his cycle on Monday and another gets a DWI the next day. What white superstar from a snobby school is going to crash a plane tomorrow?
Guest StylesMark Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 At least he didn't hurt himself or someone else. He seems like a good fit for Portland now.
Failed Bridge Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 He seems like a good fit for Portland now. He's too white for the Trailblazers. He would just look ridiculous in team photos.
Sandman9000 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 One guy wrecks his cycle on Monday and another gets a DWI the next day. What white superstar from a snobby school is going to crash a plane tomorrow? If I'm a Stanford baseball player, I'm hiding in my basement tomorrow.
Ripper Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 Oh hell, I was thinking the guy was plastered. .11? That ain't that drunk. Especially if .08 is legal. Still, if he falls that is just some team that is going to be able to pick up a shooter.
2GOLD Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 One guy wrecks his cycle on Monday and another gets a DWI the next day. What white superstar from a snobby school is going to crash a plane tomorrow? If I'm a Stanford baseball player, I'm hiding in my basement tomorrow. And you'd probably be running a meth lab down there.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 Doing a U-turn to avoid the cops is the first defensive move that JJ Redick has made all season...
