NBA Superlatives: Pelicans guard JJ Redick

Fourteen years ago, Duke University’s all-time leading scorer was selected 11th overall in the NBA draft by the Orlando Magic. All these years later, despite the Blue Devils successfully recruiting some of the nation’s top basketball players, JJ Redick remains atop the ACC school’s career points list. The 35-year-old is also now one of just seven players from the 2006 draft class who remain active in the NBA (the others are No. 2 pick LaMarcus Aldridge, No. 8 Rudy Gay, No. 13 Thabo Sefolosha, No. 21 Rajon Rondo, No. 24 Kyle Lowry and No. 47 Paul Millsap).
