2019 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: The post Combine edition, OKC Thunder still focused on shooting
By Rylan Stiles
Cam Reddish is almost the forgotten Duke Blue Devil in this years NBA Draft class. He came into college as a top recruit, and as the trio of forwards leaves Durham, the spotlight is on Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett. But Cam Reddish is nothing to sneeze at. He belongs in the top half of the first round and seems primed for a quality NBA career.
Reddish has a chance to be Paul George, and he also has a shot at being Ben McLemore. He might be the prospect with the highest ceiling and yet the lowest floor in this years class.
Reddish does great work when he is asked to pass the ball and let the offense run through him.
He has a beautiful shot that is conducive for a catch and shoot role, something that fits the Hawks nicely as they are led by an amazing playmaker in Trae Young who just needs someone to dish to.
While playing with Barrett and Williamson, Reddish still posted 13 points, three rebounds, and almost two assists per game.
Reddish is a liability on defense, and at times he settles too much on offense. If he does not turn around that aspect of his game, we could have another Andrew Wiggins on our hands who does not maximize his gifted talents in the NBA.
