    Reddish in the right situation could flourish. His skill-level is high. I think he has the 4th most star potential behind Morant, Zion, and Hunter.

    His athleticism and decision making holds him back I think. Not very physical either.

    I think he can be starter on a good team though if he finds the right situation and buys into his role.

    I know he's got the talent, it just worries me when the potential doesn't translate to being productive on the court.

    I just know that Garland can shoot the three very well and is average at everything else. The Lakers need floor spacing. I don't see him as a risk just a guy who might be able to do other things besides shooting the three but will always have the three ball.

    Oh he's got a ton of skill. The risk was from him missing last season with an injury, not on the court.

    Sometimes the risk is worth it

    I think he'll bulk up. Should be a Khris Middleton type offensively, potentially better.

    That's the realistic upside comp I've used as well.

    Absolutely, my response was to Bones saying the top 7 are steals. I'd put it at 5 personally. That doesn't mean I only like 5 players but I'd put Garland and Reddish in the next tier.

    What do I know though, I'm one of the 1% that isn't on the Zion hype train. He's gonna be a solid player and should go #1, especially since he'll keep fans interested in New Orleans after they trade Davis, but I'm on record as saying he won't ever be an MVP type level or top-10 type player in the NBA. Probably stupid I know.

    Eh, I think those players are more talented then the usually quality of player drafted around 5-7. There's quite a drop off after that.

    I agree with you though. I still think Ja Morant is the #1 player in this draft.

    It's probably going to be a multi-day thing. The first 7 picks were fast. Now we're waiting on @KeepOnRollin

    You think there is any chance New Orleans passes on Zion, drafts Morant, and keeps Davis?
