I know Adam Morrison is taller and has made many more clutch plays, but i'd rather have a 93% career FT shooter, who is also probably the most in-shape player in the nation.
Also he's less of a defensive liability that JJ is. There are a lot of similarities in their games, both move well without the ball, fierce competors, know how to draw contact and step up when there teams need them to.
Morrison will be a better NBA player, but I believe Redick should be the National player of the year because of his all around play, not just for his offense.
