Someone has to explain the Cam Reddish hype to me. He's shooting 36%/34% in college on a stacked team. How the hell is that even second round worthy let alone top three?

It's wild how Zhaire Smith was completely forgotten. Philly got absolutely nothing out of their last two first rounders. What makes the Zhaire one even worse is they traded Bridges for him who woulda been a perfect fit. :mindblown:

It's all about skillset and upside with him. 6'8", average shooter, solid ball handler, okay slasher, okay defender. He's just an okay player, but because he's fundamentally sound and an all around player at his size, you'd hope that he'd just improve over time at all the things that's he's just decent at.

A lot of guys at his age and his size are only decent at one aspect of the game, like some can only shoot, some can only handle, some can only defend, etc.

But explain 36/34 to me. How is that translating to the NBA?
