June 13, 200620 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2...=ESPNHeadlines Report: Ex-Duke star Redick arrested for DWI 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, though it may not hurt it, according to ESPN.com's Andy Katz. 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 the record 457 3-pointers. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
June 13, 200620 yr I don't care who you are...it's just stupid to drive drunk. I don't think that NBA teams will give a crap about this.
June 13, 200620 yr f***ing unexcusable. Driving drunk is the most immature and one of the dumbest things you can do, it can effect so many people other than yourself. So damn dangerous. Redick loses alot of my respect today.
June 13, 200620 yr Author f***ing unexcusable. Driving drunk is the most immature and one of the dumbest things you can do, it can effect so many people other than yourself. So damn dangerous. Redick loses alot of my respect today. Even more stupid when you are a few weeks away from being drafted.
June 13, 200620 yr It's every bit as stupid as what Roethlisberger did, and probably worse because it endangers others.
June 13, 200620 yr Yes I hope they do and that he loses stock and the Heat take him in the draft. With that non-exsistent draft pick. :plain
June 13, 200620 yr Geez, why do ALL of my players have to do stupid stuff? First it was JWill. Then it was KWII. Then it was Big Ben AND JJ in the same day!

June 13, 200620 yr 0.11...thats about 5-6 beers in an hour or 8 beers in three hours for a guy his size. Yeah, pretty stupid. I think some of you would be surprised at how many people drive drunk in this country.

I think some of you would be surprised at how many people drive drunk in this country. I know, more people do it more often than you think, and it scares me every time I'm on the road after dark.
June 13, 200620 yr I blame the Maryland fans. Maybe the judge will let him off lightly though. Maybe he will just have to perform community service writing poetry about the effects of driving drunk.

I think some of you would be surprised at how many people drive drunk in this country. I'm not. Go on any highway after around midnight, you can point them out with your hand. I wish the Police would go after drunken/hazardous driving more instead of speeding drivers.
June 13, 200620 yr f***ing unexcusable. Driving drunk is the most immature and one of the dumbest things you can do, it can effect so many people other than yourself. So damn dangerous. Redick loses alot of my respect today. I couldn't agree more man. I learned this first hand in college myself. I was very irresponsible and after going through the mandatory DUI class it really opened my eyes. Now someone who does it who has a great opportunity in front of them is even more of a moron then i was
June 13, 200620 yr What a moron. I bet Duke is glad this happened after he was gone rather than while he was still playing for them.
June 13, 200620 yr What a moron. I bet Duke is glad this happened after he was gone rather than while he was still playing for them. It wouldn't have happened then.

I wish the Police would go after drunken/hazardous driving more instead of speeding drivers. True, but speeders are generally easy targets. Most are law-abiding, crap their pants when they get pulled over, and are on their way within 20 minutes. Not the case with a DUI/DWI case.
June 13, 200620 yr Yeah, but I've always been under the impression Police were put in place to make roads safer. :plain
June 13, 200620 yr Yeah, but I've always been under the impression Police were put in place to make roads safer. :plain Not at the end of the month and/or holidays.
June 13, 200620 yr Yeah, but I've always been under the impression Police were put in place to make roads safer. :plain Usually I think they are just bored. In my case my whole entire charge was dropped b/c it was a false DUI report. I did not blow over the limit or fail the field test. Cop had the entire thing filmed and it was presented in court. When his police report didn't match the video the charge was dropped. I was being f***ed with but it still opened my eyes to how irresposible driving under the influence is. I was heading back to my apartment at 3:30 in the morning from a club, which I was the DD for that night and was hella tired.
June 13, 200620 yr \immature fish in a barrel comment at least this helps the blazers solidify their draft choice /immature fish in a barrel comment
