Which Duke prospect will stand the tallest?
Perhaps one of the biggest individual storylines heading into the 2019 NCAA Tournament is which Dukee will rise about the rest over the next few weeks. We all know what comes with Zion Williamson, but R.J. Barrett and Cam Reddish are two players that need good showings in the tournament to cement their draft status.
Before the season even begun, many expected Barrett to play his way into being the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft. While he hasn’t fallen off a ton, he is considered by many as the third best prospect in this draft class (behind Zion and Morant). Having a good tournament could help put him at No. 2, and perhaps get in the conversation for being the top pick.
Reddish is an interesting prospect as well, but simply hasn’t been given enough of a spotlight to really maximize his potential at Duke. That was somewhat a given considering he was coming in with two other big-name prospects.
