LAS VEGAS - J.J. Redick brought no delusions of grandeur with him this week as he fills out a roster spot -- for now -- on the USA Men's Senior National Team roster.
The 23-year-old Redick, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound guard for the Orlando Magic, knows the reality of the situation as he spends a week with the USA players while they prepare for the FIBA Americas Championship. The tournament, a qualifier for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, begins Wednesday and continues through Sept. 2 at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center.
"He is not going to make the team," said USA Coach Mike Krzyzewski, who coached Redick at Duke.

Thats a little harsh in my opinion. Never the less, I'd still love to see him play along side Dwight. National Basketball experience is priceless, so if he gets into the team (which is probably not) the experience would be great for himself.
I would've thought, being such a great player that JJ was in Duke. His former coach would've actually made an attempt in getting him on the roster. Looks like it isn't going to happen.
JJ Redick and National team.
