Much like Khris Middelton, J.J. Redick is the perfect two-guard in today’s perimeter-oriented game. Playing next to Chris Paul and Blake Griffin doesn’t seem to hurt his game either. On top of averaging a near career-high in points per game, Redick shot a blistering 48 percent from three-point range.

Redick lead the league in three-point shooting (volume-adjusted) and is a better defender than he gets credit for. After struggling in his first few years in the NBA, it’s actually quite amazing to see Redick this high on the list.

My guess is that we’re going to see more Redick-type two-guards moving forward in the NBA.

Next: No. 4
