Josh Hart, the guard for the Knicks, firmly believes in Redick's coaching abilities, so it's difficult to disagree with him. Redick averaged 12.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game for the duration of his playing career. He was regarded as a dangerous three-point shooter with a talent for finding gaps. Given that the NBA these days is all about three-pointers, his playing style would fit in well as a coach.
