8. J.J. Redick (PG/SG) — No. 11 pick in 2006 NBA Draft

Career stats (with the Magic): 396 GP, 9.2 PPG, 1.9 APG, 1.8 RPG, 0.4 SPG, 1.0 TOV, 43.2 FG%, 39.8 3P%, 87.8 FT%

After posting scoring averages of 15 and 16 points per contest during his first two seasons at Duke, J.J. Redick became a household name over the next couple of years. During his junior season, Redick averaged 21.8 points per contest en route to winning the ACC Player of the Year award.

His senior season was even better as he increased his scoring output to 26.8 points per contest on slash lines of .470/.421/.863, earning him National Player of the Year honors. At least on paper, Redick was just what the Magic were looking for when they selected him with the 11th overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned for Redick upon joining the Magic. Not only did injuries and inconsistent play limit his time on the court, it also took five years before Redick became a double-digit scorer.

This wasn’t what Orlando had hoped following a solid finish to his collegiate career.

All in all, Redick averaged 9.2 points per game in seven seasons with the Magic. Ironically, his best season took place during his last year with the team (2012-13). During that 50-game stretch, Redick averaged 15.1 points per contest before he was dealt to the Milwaukee Bucks prior to the trade deadline.
