Though Zion and Barrett are infinitely more flashy, there’s still an argument to be made that Cam Reddish is Duke’s best prospect. He’s a smooth 6-foot-9 playmaker, boasting impressive passing chops and three-level scoring ability.
Effort was a big knock on Reddish in high school, but he’s doing a nice job carving out a niche in the Blue Devils’ talent-laden rotation. He’s quietly averaging 15.7 points per contest while shooting 43.2 percent from three-point range.
Someone with Reddish’s size who can handle, create and shoot at a high level will always have value. Add in his basketball I.Q. and defensive potential, and it’s difficult to slot him lower than this. Duke has quite the triad. The Bulls would need some luck, but again, the new lottery odds make it feasible.
