It took awhile for things to come together for Redick in the NBA, but by 2009-10, he had emerged as a solid sixth man and long-distance shooter for the Magic. /

Redick finished second in the NBA in free-throw shooting with a .911 mark in 2011-12, but with free agency looming, he was dealt in February 2013 along with big man Gustavo Ayon and guard Ish Smith to the Milwaukee Bucks for forward Tobias Harris, guards Doron Lamb and Beno Udrih and cash.

In parts of seven seasons with the Magic, Redick averaged 9.2 points, 1.9 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 21.9 minutes per game, shooting .432/.398/.878.

In July 2013, Redick was sent to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of a sign-and-trade deal that also included the Phoenix Suns.

In 2015-16, Redick led the NBA in three-point shooting.

He is entering the final season of his four-year, $26.9 million deal in 2016-17.

Redick’s .412 3-point percentage is 15th in NBA history and his .888 free throw percentage is 10th.
