Rookies see Reddish, not Zion, having best career

Quote:
In the league's annual survey of rookies, players were asked which member of the 2019 class would have the best career. Williamson received only 5% of the votes.

Cam Reddish, Williamson's teammate at Duke, garnered 19% of the votes. Reddish went to the Atlanta Hawks with the 10th pick of the draft.

Reddish was followed by Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies with 16% of the votes and De'Andre Hunter of the Hawks with 11%.

I can see it. His has all the physical basketball tools to be one of the greats. The question will be his mentality. I still can't believe he fell to #10. The teams who passed up on him will rule the day.

Dude must be pretty bad if not having him on your team will lead to a dynasty...

i'm not high on Zion either, a PF/C tweener without a reliable jump shot just doesn't have that high of a ceiling in today's NBA doesn't matter how athletic he is.

ive always been bearish on the Zion hype train but I definitely wouldnt project Reddish ahead of him... until I see Cam's abilities translate into something consistently positive in a live NBA game I only see Reddish as the next Wiggins.

It seems many "potential" Superstars are already fuming about Zion being the Greatest-of-his-time.

I see flaws, like his outside shooting, but he looks good.

Based on what?

NBA teams passed him up too.

He's the kind of pick that can get GMs fired.
