Last season, Redick averaged an ACC-best 21.8 points per game while winning the Rupp Award as well as claiming ACC Player of the Year, ACC Tournament MVP and first team All-America accolades. Redick is the NCAA s all-time leader in free throw percentage (.938) and ranks 15th on the school scoring charts with 1,805 career points. He is also sixth on Duke s career chart and 23rd in ACC history with a.399 (318-of-796) three-point field goal percentage and second at Duke and sixth in ACC history with 318 threepoint field goals.

Redick was labeled by many as the best shooting prospect when he entered college and the 6-4 guard has not disappointed. The Roanoke, Va., native ranks second at Duke with 318 three-point field goals, needing just 25 treys to surpass Trajan Langdon. In addition, Redick needs 96 threepointers to overtake former Virginia standout Curtis Staples for the ACC and NCAA three-point record. Last season, Redick canned a career-high 121 triples, while also shooting a career-best 40.3 percent from the arc. Despite developing a nice midrange game off the dribble, Redick s bread-andbutter remains his outside stroke. He has made at least one three-point field goal in 98 games and at least three triples 65 times. Career Three-Point FGs (Duke) 1. Trajan Langdon J.J. Redick 318 Career Three-Point FGs (ACC) 1.

Dockery made 24 three-point field goals a year ago after entering the season with just seven career treys. Another off-season of diligent work on his shooting mechanics has Dockery

7 poised to take over the point guard spot for the Blue Devils. He netted a career-best 15 points vs. Davidson Nov. 22. He established his career best with six assists vs. Valparaiso on Dec. 4. Against No. 5 Wake Forest on Feb. 20, Dockery played 27 minutes coming off the bench and had nine points, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot. Dockery s 43 steals also ranked second on Duke (10th in the ACC) and his 61 assists were third on the squad.

Registered at least one steal in 75 of 97 career games. Has a career assist-to-turnover ratio of Recorded three-or-more assists in a game 19 times and three-or-more steals 14 times. Melchionni Looking For Another Solid Season An unsung hero for the Blue Devils last season was Lee Melchionni. He emerged to become a consistent threat from the perimeter and developed a knack for hitting big shots. In the opening round of the ACC Tournament, he recorded 16 points, nine rebounds and two assists as Duke defeated Virginia, At No. 2 North Carolina on March 6, Melchionni scored 15 points all in the second half on five three-pointers. Against St. John s on Feb. 26, he matched his career high with a game-best 16 points and established a career best with nine rebounds.

Melchionni has scored at least six points in 15 of his last 21 contests, including a 15-point effort on 5-of-6 shooting (3- of-4 from three-point range) in Duke s win vs. No. 5 Wake Forest on Feb. 20.

Nelson Ready For Big Year With the departure of Daniel Ewing to graduation, sophomore DeMarcus Nelson will see his role increase significantly this season. While playing under 20 minutes a game a year ago, he was Duke s sixth-leading scorer (6.2 ppg.) and second leading rebounder (4.5 rpg.). This year, Nelson will have to opportunity to use his versatility and athleticism to impact the game both offensively and defensively. A year ago, Nelson showed an ability to get to the rim, defend opposing point guards and rebound with anyone on the floor. An improved outside touch this season will allow the Elk Grove, Calif., native to take his game to new heights. Last season against No. 2 North Carolina on Feb. 9, Nelson had 16 points on 5-of-10 shooting, two rebounds, three assists and a career-best four steals in 29 minutes. He followed that game with his first career start at Maryland on Feb. 12, and had eight points and seven boards vs. the Terps. Finished second among ACC frosh with 4.6 rebounds per game. Selected to the ACC All-Freshman team a year ago. Named the ACC Rookie of the Week on Jan. 17.
