Nah Spud. Buddy isn’t it. He went 2-9 before hitting a few 3s to improve his numbers. Dude is streaky as hell and is a mental sail boat. He just goes wherever the wind takes him..

Yeah,

I KINDA FORESEE him pulling a Joe Johnson and requesting a trade after his rookie contract to go be the man on some last place team out of the shadow of Trae and Collins.

If he has faded after three months of playing next to Zion and RJ, how's he gonna like playing third fiddle to older, more established guys like ours?

Zion and RJ are getting so much attention and Reddish is still not really knocking them down, at least not efficiently. But everyone still likes him because he looks the part of an NBA wing. It's almost like when we drafted Marvin Williams, he had an ideal NBA body and picture perfect shooting form, so they ignored the fact that he had no handle and no creativity to his game.

I think he's better than Marvin. But I'm just saying having prototypical body type and shooting form does not a great NBA player make.

Reddish is not a super athlete with a 40 vertical, but he is very skilled with above average size and with a fluid smooth game. I have him as a rich man's Steve Smith.

A rich man’s Steve Smith works for me. Heck that is probably a HOFer! I see a less athletic better shooting Tmac.

Not sure he’s a Schlenk guy but maybe. Culver seems more Schlenky I dunno.

It’s against OSU, but Culver is dominating this game. He looks like a starter who dropped down to G-League and is on a different level than everyone else.

I don't see Schlenk ever drafting a poor shooter like Culver. Just look at last year's draft when Schlenk ONLY drafted shooters. Only way TS drafts a poor shooter is if they fall really hard in the draft like Collins or Looney.

I see PG but the raw PG more than the good one. He is better in some areas than that PG and worse in some others.

When even strangers from other boards are commenting on your bias against a player, it might be time to take a back seat.

Culver's in a slump right now. But he isn't a bad shooter.

Funny thing is, I posted their shooting splits a little while back (including ones from Synergy) and they were eerily similar. He still ignored it. :dontknow: With Culver's shooting - his form is still a work in progress, which is probably why he's been hot and cold this year. However, it still looks a load better than last year.

Over the past few months, the 6-foot-3 guard has emerged as a projected top-five pick in June’s NBA draft, with many mocks slotting him at second overall behind Zion Williamson. This is despite Morant playing at Murray State, the best team in college basketball’s 25th-best conference. He’s putting up historically great stats, he may be the first Division I college basketball player ever to average 20 points and 10 assists per game for a whole season.

2019 NBA Mock Draft: First-Round Predictions After Trade Deadline


5. Atlanta Hawks — Nassir Little | SF | North Carolina

Little has had an underwhelming season in Chapel Hill to this point, but make no mistake, the talent is there. His strength, downhill scoring ability and shooting touch to make him an enticing pick.


11. Atlanta Hawks (via Dallas Mavericks) — Bol Bol | C | Oregon


With the Hawks having a core of Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, John Collins and the previously drafted Little, Atlanta rounds out its new starting five with the son of Manute Bol. Bol can stretch the floor with his shooting and is an elite shot blocker, so as long as his foot is healed, he will be a good fit next to Collins.

Reddish as a rich man's steve is pretty disrespectful to smitty. He was a guy that could go toe to toe with Jordan on any given game.

I'll give him poor man's pg or richer batum which is all star caliber.
