Duke's all-time leading scorer and the most prolific shooter in ACC history.

Jonathan Clay Redick was born in Cookeville, Tennessee in 1984. He attended Duke University under coach Mike Krzyzewski and became the ACC's and Duke's all-time leading scorer with 2,769 career points. He won the Naismith Award as national player of the year in 2006. He was a two-time ACC Player of the Year (2005, 2006) and a three-time consensus All-American. He averaged 19.9 points per game across four seasons. He led Duke to two Final Fours. His three-point shooting — he made 457 career three-pointers at Duke — was the foundation of an offensive game built on precision, off-ball movement and mechanics honed across four years of practice under Krzyzewski's demanding system. Orlando Magic selected him 11th overall in the 2006 NBA Draft. His 15-year NBA career produced over 13,000 professional points and the reputation of the finest three-point shooter of his era. His Duke career — four years of sustained excellence, ACC scoring records and a national player of the year award — is the most decorated four-year career in Duke history. He became a prominent television basketball analyst after retirement, hosting a podcast and working for ESPN.
