I'd like to nominate Jose Calderon. He has upped his minutes which is obviously going to up his production. He increased his minutes by approximately 13 per game. Here are his increased production:

PPG: 6.6 --> 12.1
DRB: 1.6 --> 2.7
AST: 3.9 --> 7.0
FG%: .420 --> .430
FT%: .797 --> .808

Vote for the Spaniard, because my premonitions tell me he will never win a gold in the Olympics with his home country.

JJ Redick

He is a first time starter. Sure his minutes per game have increased dramatically, but his production matches the increased minutes.

Points- Increase of 11.6 per game (Almost 4 x more points per game)
Rebounds- Increase of 1.6 total per game (More than 1.5 x more per game)
Assists- Increase of 2.3 per game (More than 2 x more assists per game)
