Cam Reddish is perhaps the riskiest prospect projected to be drafted in the lottery. Here are the pros and cons to the Cleveland Cavaliers drafting him.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have missed out on the opportunity to draft two Duke superstars in Zion Williamson and R.J. Barrett. However, they may still have a chance to select one of their teammates in Cam Reddish.

Reddish is by far one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2019 NBA Draft. Coming out of high school as the No. 3 ranked player in the entire country, Reddish quickly became the third option on his own team. Playing behind the viral sensation of Zion and the highly praised Barrett is no easy task for anyone, especially a college freshman.

As an effect of his new status, Reddish went from a projected top three pick to a player that could potentially fall anywhere within the top 10. Was his stock lowered simply because he isn’t as talented as we thought? Or was his limited role at Duke holding him back?

Well, these are questions the Cavaliers will have to answer as the draft approaches if they have any shred of interest. Cam is a very mysterious prospect that could either be a future All-Star or a flat out bust.
