J.J. Redick is going to have a greatly expanded role on games and the NBA Draft as part of a new three-year deal that will cement him as a main part of ESPN’s NBA coverage, The Post has learned.

Let’s look at what is on the horizon for Redick and ESPN

Game broadcasts: Redick wanted to do more games, and that is exactly what is going to happen. He is contracted to call a minimum of 25 per year, which is fewer than analysts Jeff Van Gundy, Doris Burke or Mark Jackson, but it is a significant amount.

ESPN was particularly impressed by Redick’s eagerness. Even after he received nice reviews for a handful of games he worked as an analyst last year, he still went to work Summer League games to learn more about how to do the job.
