5. Cameron Reddish — SG/SF (Duke)

As one of the most talented players in the upcoming draft, Cameron Reddish is the real deal. Playing behind two other college superstars, Reddish has had his spotlight diminished. Regardless, he has still found a way to shine and earn the respect of NBA scouts everywhere.

Reddish is averaging 13 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists a game. His shooting splits aren’t that impressive, shooting just 34.8 percent from the 3-point line. However, he’s had multiple games in which he connected on four or more 3-pointers, and has clear potential to be an elite pure shooter.

He has ideal measurements for an NBA wing and can punish smaller opponents. Reddish has a versatile offensive game and can create plays for himself as well as others.

NBA comparison: Gary Harris

Gary Harris of the Denver Nuggets is a very solid comparison for Cameron Reddish. They both have been blessed with the physical tools necessary to play at a high level and can score in multiple ways. Harris is slowly turning into a star and it is likely that Reddish could find similar success in the NBA.
