Mock Draft 3.0 – Predicting how the dominoes fall, with view to fit, shifts, and OKC Thunder best bet
Duke. Cam Reddish. 8. player. 125. . SF
My next three picks remain intact from the first mock although there could be shifts in terms of destination. Especially if the Hawks are able to pair their eighth and tenth picks into a package as they’ve been rumored to be trying to do.
It still shouldn’t matter as the following three prospects in my humble opinion are the next three top talents on the board.

Cam Reddish might rise higher but it’s hard to envision him unseeding the prospects in front of him. With a youthful trio of Trae Young, John Collins and Kevin Huerter I love the fit of Reddish to round out their quartet (and think my 10th pick would give them a quality future core quintet).

If Reddish lands in Atlanta he checks off a lot of boxes for the Hawks. It’s no secret many of the “big NCAA programs” don’t showcase the best of their assets but Hawks fans will discover his full set of skills including playmaking, potential to be a quality defender and a high I.Q.
Lloyd Pierce did wonders with his young trio of talents last season and Reddish would be in good hands with him and my bet is he’ll experience rapid growth despite the overall youth of this squad.
