College career

Standing 6 feet 6 inches and 215 pounds, Michael Redd has spent both his collegiate and professional career at shooting guard. In the college ranks, he spent three years leading the offensive attack of Ohio State University garnering point averages of 21.9, 19.5, and 17.5, respectively.

NBA career

In his rookie year, Redd was not able to contribute immediately as in the depth chart he was behind NBA All-Star guard Ray Allen. Later on however, it became apparent that he was better than anticipated as proven by accounts that he had played extremely well against Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, and other teammates in practice. It was then that former Bucks coach George Karl rewarded him with additional playing time. He did not disappoint as he earned averages of 11.4 points per contest as well as 44.4% on three point baskets. A year later (2001-2002), he improved his average to a 15.1 points per contest while shooting 43.4% on three point baskets. Notably, it was this year that on February 20, 2002 against the Houston Rockets, Redd made eight three point field goals in the fourth quarter, a current NBA record. In October, 2002, he signed a four-year $12m offer sheet with the Dallas Mavericks but it was matched by the Bucks and he remained in Milwaukee. During the 2003-04 season, Redd's performance, amongst other reasons (ouster of Ray Allen to Seattle via a trade), was rewarded with full starter's duties and later earning averages of 21.7 points per contest en route to his first and, so far, only All-Star Game appearance.
