NBA: Ceilings, floors, and comparisons for the 2019 draft lottery picks

With the 10th pick of the draft, Atlanta took a chance on Cam Reddish, the slick shooting wing out of Duke.

I say took a chance on Reddish because he was not the prospect imagined when playing for Duke. This possibly had a lot to due with not getting the number of touches as he wanted to playing with the No. 1 and No. 3 picks of the draft, Zion and RJ. He was a top 3 prospect out of high school, and the potential is still there, but there is some work he needs to put in to recognize that potential.

At best, I see Reddish as an All-Star, like I previously said, he has a lot of potential and if it is recognized, we may see one of the better young scorers in the league. However, at worst, I can see Reddish struggling to find minutes, if that shot does not develop, he may be an easy guy to defend, sagging off and making him beat you on a 3. Reddish is certainly a boom or bust type prospect, and with the number of picks the Hawks had this year, I like them taking the risk.

NBA comparison: Former Atlanta Hawk, Joe Johnson

Johnson and Reddish have a similar skill set built around shooting. While Joe Johnson shot at a more consistent rate, Reddish has the potential to shoot just as well, maybe better. Reddish displayed he can handle the ball well, similar to Johnson who used to handle the ball for the old Hawks teams.
