J.J. Redick

Odds: +550

J.J. Redick is certainly not the most popular of figures among Milwaukee Bucks fans considering his very short stay with the team, but even the most ardent Bucks fan can not deny his shooting prowess.

Dating back to his days at Duke, his early years in the NBA with the Orlando Magic, and right through to today with the Los Angeles Clippers, Redick has been the type of deadeye shooter who teams around the league are constantly searching for. The rest of his game may not have allowed him to become a star like many others in this contest, but shooting role players don’t get much better than Redick.

Redick is a 40.8 percent shooter from three-point range over the course of his ten season career, yet this season he is on course to completely shatter his previous career high mark. Redick is making 47.6 percent on the season, and 39.3 percent for his last five games.

Redick is becoming more and more of a personality as time goes on, but at present there has been no sign of his podcast hosting getting in the way of his shooting. If one of the Splash Brothers doesn’t win it, Redick will be many people’s next pick.
