Redick had the 1st and 4th most efficient seasons among wing players in the last nine years:
4. 7.86%: J.J. Redick, Duke, 2004-05 (Jr.)
(121.1 ORating, 92.9% mins. played, 24.8% poss. used, vs. 0.957 PPP defense)
This is Redick's junior year, when he won the first of his two ACC Player of the Year awards, and Duke was upset in the Sweet 16 by Michigan State. Part of his immense value lied in the fact that Coach K rarely needed to take him off the floor, due to much-improved conditioning from his freshman and sophomore seasons.
1. 9.33%: J.J. Redick, Duke, 2005-06 (Sr.)
(120.2 ORating, 92.5% mins. played, 29.2% poss. used, vs. 0.947 PPP defense)
Redick was the most hated player in college hoops, but he wasn't overrated. He posted his Wooden-and-Naismith worthy numbers going against the second-toughest slate of defenses (average efficiency: 94.7) in the database, and took his game to the next level by adding a slashing element to his already lethal long-range shooting. His senior year goes down as the gold standard for modern-era shooting guards.

Scheyer, on the other hand, owns the 3rd most efficient season among PGs:
3. 9.11%: Jon Scheyer, Duke, 2009-10 (Sr.)
(127.0 ORating, 91.9% mins. played, 23.2% poss. used, vs. 0.943 PPP defense)
During Scheyer's swan song with the Blue Devils, Coach K would often talk about how well his senior point guard "valued" the ball on every possession. That was a highly accurate descriptor, as Scheyer ranks as the top national-champ point guard, in terms of Value Add. In retrospect, the fact that he lost out to Maryland's Greivis Vasquez for both ACC Player of the Year and the Cousy Award seems like a shame. Vasquez's Value Add that season was just 5.68 percent, which ranked 40th.
