Finn : J.J. Redick
Finn is the inverse of Jahlil Okafor. Once a member of the “Other Guys”, he has since joined the Rebel cause ever since donning the clothing of a rebel. While Finn wore a rebel jacket, J.J. Redick signed up in free agency and donned the jersey of the Philadelphia 76ers. Finn was a guy who first appeared in a Storm Trooper uniform. But the tactics of his unit bothered him. At first, he just wanted out. He saw there was no future in intimidation and falling short of goals again and again.
It was random chance that he joined “the good guys”. But once there, he remained and become a significant contributor. Not blessed with pure Jedi Knight skills or physicality, he is best equipped at long range as a marksman. Early in his time with the team, he begins to help his teammates, even standing up and demanding his group help rescue one who has fallen into captivity.
Redick sharpshooter
So too, J.J. Redick is the team’s ace sharpshooter. His 39.0 percent shooting from the perimeter is below average so far. But he’s young in terms of experience with the Philadelphia 76ers. As such, his value will grow over time. He has already proven his versatility with the team, excelling at both offense and defense for the team in just 27 games.
Still, much like Finn, Redick’s arrival was welcomed with open arms, but the Rebel Forces remain dubious as to what he brings to the team. Will he regain his 41.4 percent or better marksmanship from three-point range? When the team needs clutch shooting as they make a playoff run, can they count on him? Or will his one-year contract stare back at him, and persuade him back to the dark forces of opposing teams next year? Like Finn, the Philadelphia 76ers want to see more from Redick this year before forming a more permanent opinion.
