2014-15 Breakout Player: J.J. Redick

Word: Redick has improved almost every subsequent season that he’s been in the NBA. And in his first season with the Clippers, Redick averaged 15.2 points (career-high) while shooting 40 percent from 3 — and he wasn’t even healthy for the bulk of it. Expect Redick to continue to improve this season, as he takes an even bigger role with the Clippers this season.
