S2.E39 | JJ Redick & Grayson Allen

Episode 39 of Basketball Now & Then zeroes in on shooting and edge with a sharp comparison between JJ Redick and Grayson Allen, two guards who built their games on perimeter shooting, movement, and competitive fire. Constant motion. Quick releases. Defenders always trailing.

The team explores how Redick’s elite off-ball movement, conditioning, and shooting consistency made him one of the most dangerous floor spacers of his era. Then there’s Allen, a modern sharpshooter who blends spot-up shooting with physical defense and an edge that keeps him in the middle of the action. Similar roles, different journeys. One mastered the craft over time, the other continues to evolve within today’s three-point-heavy game.

What connects them? Shooting and intensity. By linking Redick’s precision to Allen’s modern versatility, Basketball Now & Then continues its mission of bridging generations, showing that players who can space the floor and compete relentlessly always find their place in the league.
