Charlotte Hornets 2019 NBA Mock Draft Vol. 3: Full Two-Round Projections
11. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. SF. DUKE. CAMERON REDDISH. 86
It’s hard to project where Cameron Reddish is going to end up right now. He’s got a lot of talent, but took on more of a backseat role in his only season in college because he was playing next to Zion Williamson and R.J. Barrett. Minnesota would be smart to give him a hard look if he’s available with the 11th pick.
Reddish is a better three-point shooter than his 33 percent averages say. He had an up-and-down freshman campaign and could never really get going. He will need to show teams prior to the draft that he is a better shooter than he showed in college, and that he has heart and passion for the game.
On the season at Duke, Reddish averaged just 13.5 points and 3.7 rebounds.
That’s arguably the biggest concern regarding Reddish — his commitment to being great. He has so much talent, but almost looks bored on the basketball court at time. He doesn’t play with fire, and Minnesota fans should know what that’s like with the inconsistent play of Andrew Wiggins.
When motivated, Reddish is an awesome talent that many expect to be a star. While I don’t entirely agree with that, you can’t deny his talent. I need to see more consistency and effort from him as a rookie in the NBA, but starting his career with and up and coming team like Minnesota would be good for him.
