After reading a mock draft on BBI and seeing that Reddish was slotted for the Knicks pick, I read and watched more. I've only seen him once live (on TV), and it's hard to look away from the shiny thing that is Zion, so I didn't know much.
Reddish is 19, apparently one hell of a shooter, 6-8 with perhaps more to grow, he rebounds, too, and in some videos reminded me of a kid named Knox.
I wonder how Reddish would look at the 2 alongside the refurbished Mudiay?
BBI Knicks fans ... would you be excited to get this kid in the next draft?
Pretty good game here, early on. - (

He's the best defender on that team, but he's struggled to find a niche in their offense, which fits his rep coming in of a guy who's kind of passive and defers to other players despite his prodigious talent.
We were 2nd.
Cleveland: 8-32, .200
Phoenix: 9-32, .220
Chicago: 10-30, .250
Knicks: 10-30, .250

Keep on losing!!!

That damn win L.A. was a killer. Figures the Knicks catch them during a week where Lebron is out.
His all-around game is very nice and makes him unlikely to be a flat-out bust, but I don't think he'll be a plus offensive player at the next level.

But that would be a function of mindset and not talent; Paul George had similar issues coming into the NBA.
Fully expect the Cavs to get Zion because they have the best lottery luck of all time.
Hard to be optimistic for this sad Knick fan.

I'm no fan of Reddish but this is a bit misleading. He's shooting nearly 80% from the FT line which is the best predictor of outside shooting success in the nba.
It might be a decent generalization but there are guys who shot FTs well in college who are mediocre to bad on threes in the NBA - Malik Monk (82% FT at UK), Trae Young (86%), Donovan Mitchell (81%), Jerian Grant (79%), Andrew Wiggins (78%), Marcus Smart (75%) among others.
So, for me, huge variance. I could see a situation where he's not a good pro at all and a scenario where in a different situation, his game expands
I guess the answer is: no fucking clue.
plus you would have 2 players like that in him and knox
Bingo. Not that he can't do it, but I'd be uneasy with him.
Frank's D this year has been far from what I expected. I think it's mental. He's frustrated offensively and loses focus on D.

surprised how poorly Monk has shot from 3 but he's quietly been better this season (overall). If Charlotte did something stupid and dumped him I'd be very interested. I'd 100% swap Frank for him. For all of the talk of Frank's defense (which is quite good) his DRtg is 116, Monk 113 and Monk has a ORtg of 101.

that is this entire team
If you finish fourth or fifth worst, or "better," your odds start to get worse pretty quickly.
Given this, I'm not agonizing over the draft right now. Until the lottery, you're not going to know enough to do so. Although assuming they get one of the first four picks, which is statistically likely at this point, I guess it makes sense to agonize over whether there are four "blue chippers" in this draft.
Are there? The three Duke guys plus Ja Morant? No one else seems to be in the discussion. A couple of the touted SG's have fallen off in their production, and Bol Bol is now a red flag for injury reasons.
Stop injecting facts and statistics! He's one helluva shooter! (at nerf ball)
Nobody wants UVA players who lost to #16.
I hope so. Can't wait to sit on the edge of my seat again on selection day and still finish ahead of UVA.
(I keed, I keed!)
He is a good two way player
Bless you for watching that. I had to turn it off after 5 minutes. Not Frank/Knox/Trier/Robinson on the floor and my boredom level goes through the roof.
He looked tougher with his man bun. Seriously.... now he looks like a kid who cheat off in your physics class.
