On a New Orleans roster that features two players who aren’t yet of legal drinking age – as well as seven other Pelicans aged 25 and under – JJ Redick is a distinct outlier. When the shooting guard made his official NBA debut for Orlando on Nov. 25, 2006, Zion Williamson and Jaxson Hayes were both 6 years old. When Redick appeared in the ’09 NBA Finals with the Magic, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball were still tweens. Although a few Pelicans teammates enjoyed significant success at the NCAA level, including national champions Jahlil Okafor (Duke) and Josh Hart (Villanova), none possesses anything close to the thickness of Redick’s hoops postseason resume.
