If Reddish can shake his reputation for underperforming, he has more than enough talent to be the No. 1 pick. He has very real playmaking upside at 6-foot-9, boasting smooth handles and dynamic passing ability.
He isn’t the most explosive athlete, but Reddish is arguably the most fluid offensive player in the draft. He’s easily the best shooter of the Duke trio, while his skill set is easy to build around. Most 6-foot-9 players with point guard skills generate interest from NBA teams.
Reddish will provide a great deal of positional versatility as well. He can reasonably slot into any position 2-4, with the ability to coexist with other playmakers. In the modern NBA, Reddish is an ideal prospect.
Effort and consistency have long been concerns with Reddish, which is something he’ll need to improve at Duke. That’s especially true on the defensive end, where his upside hasn’t always matched the on-court product.
