The odds of Duke producing the top three picks, in theory, are slim. All three will have to make sacrifices in order to co-exist, hurting their stats and limiting their ability to dominate in all facets. And yet this year might be the rare exception.
There are some other names in the conversation, but Barrett, Williamson and Reddish seem like the most talented prospects by a solid margin. Reddish has a history of underperforming, but his all-around skill set is something the Knicks can build around.
At 6-foot-9, Reddish has the court vision and passing skills of a point guard. He can also score smoothly at all three levels, something that can’t yet be said for Barrett and Williamson (although Barrett is getting there). It would be unprecedented, but Duke has a chance to thoroughly control the top on the draft.
