Sleeper big for this class.

Cons:
- Already 21
- comes off the bench

But the guy is 6-10 with a rumored 7-5 wingspan. Able to finish strong in traffic, mobile, and good shooting from the line and three.

^I'm not seeing his name on big boards in the first or second rounds.

But if we could sign him as an Undrafted Free Agent, seems like a win-win.

Especially if our G-League team is finally moving to Georgia this Fall and he could get more practice time with the big league coaching staff.

Maybe he's a Dewayne Dedmon-type late bloomer.

He's going to be a late 1st rounder at worst. It's going to be one of those straight out of left field hot names during M-M ala Donte Divincenzo.

Page 33 post #650 on this thread is where I brought this guy’s name in the discussion. Perhaps a little less random posting and a little more reading and we can avoid these blunders of pretending not to see things.

Once a long while you were alone at realgm, now we here so things are different. :wink:

I want to see how he measures out before anything else. It really does help him being Deke's bioligical nephew. I'd absolutely put him up their with Fernando, Bassey, and even Hayes. His age will bring him down a peg tho.

I think I see RJ'S issue... he's shooting with the wrong hand.

Cam or RJ need to step up in the 2nd half. Let’s see who can show some leadership here.

Comeback time. 61-45 NC but I think Duke comes back and wins. NC looks scared.

Hopefully Zion isn't hurt bad. Still would be the #1 pick even while hurt. But I like watching him play and he seems to be the competitor that's gonna live for March Madness.

Yeah. But, as ol' Roy said, not totally fair to judge them off this one game after something like that happens.

5. Atlanta Hawks: Cam Reddish | Wing | Duke

Cam Reddish has been coming into his own during conference play. While his performances are still up-and-down, his confidence is up and he’s channeling his ability to make big plays and bringing it to fruition. Reddish’s mobility and shooting stroke at 6-foot-8 will offer enough of a foundation for a team to reasonably work with. The freshman could be a steal at five if he develops fully, as Reddish possesses elite level two-way upside.



9. Atlanta Hawks (Via Dallas Mavericks): Nassir Little | Forward | North Carolina

The heralded freshman’s roller coaster of a year has seemingly steadied as of late. However, his performances have not been as promising as NBA scouts would like. Nonetheless, Little has shown flashes off dribble-drive dominance due to his elite physical tools. At this point in Little’s development, picking him in the top 10 is something of a gamble on development, but could pay off in a big way if his IQ and feel catch up to his physical traits.
