Reddish, Cameron Duke 6'9" 205 PF frosh. Reddish seems destined to be selected among the top ten picks. He averaged 13.5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game as third fiddle at Duke to Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett. Reddish was not efficient at Duke. Solely by out HoopObsession math, Reddish ranks 150th in this year's draft class. He hit 33% of his three-point attempts, and he had 96 turnovers and only 70 assists in his freshman season. Reddish shot 77% FT. Defensively, Reddish's numbers were not great but the per 100 possession numbers were worse for any player who played games while Zion Williamson was out. ...Reddish has good anticipation. We like how he moves on the court. His biggest weaknesses are all correctable. He needs to embrace the idea of expanding his game to trust teammates more often. He needs to turn down some deep shots in favor of getting to the basket. ...In his chances to be "the man" while Zion Williamson was out, Reddish didn't shoot well at all. He only had one game where he made 50% of his field goal attempts with Zion out. Clearly, any team that drafts Reddish will need to be patient. You can see his gifts, but he has yet to figure out how to make it work at a level that would be acceptable for a NBA FOUR in meaningful games. However, his upside is such that a team will swing for him pretty early.

 

Good Advice: In 2012, the 20th pick in the NBA Draft was Evan Fournier. We advised, "Draft Draymond Green."
