(#2) My Top 4 Draft Prospects

  1. RJ Barrett

At 6'7 Barrett makes for well rounded guard who with good ball handling and can get to the basket easily. His consistency in his 3-point shot was in question but so far he is shooting 38% from the 3 point line at Duke. I believe this statistic locks him a the number one spot.

2. Zion Williamson

At 270 pounds Zion Williamson is an absolute monster. But this pick is a little risky considering there aren’t any useful comparisons. The upside of Zion is easily the most interesting in the draft considering he takes off from the free throw line twice a game. If Zion continues to improve the little things in his game he will become a very good player.

3. Cam Reddish

Surprise surprise another Duke, Blue Devil. At 6'9 and having a consistent 3-pointer, Reddish seems to fit perfectly in an NBA system. Reddish can generate offense with and without the ball and with the ball. The question becomes if Reddish has the work ethic to develop his game to his peak potential.

4. Rui Hachimura

At 6'8 Hachimura has the potential to play at both forward spots. If he can develop is shot from the 3 point line he could be looking at some significant minutes. He has already been filling it up so far this season averaging 22 points per game.
