QUESTION: Any scenario you see where they move up to #3 to to take RJ?
Hey, @BangerMasher: There are always scenarios. It’s the NBA. The Cavs think
highly of RJ Barrett. That’s not a secret. One member of the front office thinks
he’s on the same level as Ja Morant when it comes to ranking this draft class
and Barrett will lead the class in scoring. The Cavs also recognize the drop in
talent after Barrett, believing there’s a clear line of demarcation before
getting into a cluster of prospects that can be ranked any possible way starting
at No. 4. – CLICK HERE to read full story.

If Cameron Reddish Is On The Cavaliers’ Draft Radar, They Should Not Pick Him
Fifth Overall Author: Evan Dammarell Publication: Forbes.com
This year’s iteration of Duke Blue Devils basketball was must see tv for the
entirety of the basketball season. This was mostly because of Zion Williamson, a
one of a kind prospect due to his Herculean athleticism and his ability to make
any play a part of SportsCenter’s top ten. Alongside Williamson was elite
Canadian point forward R.J. Barrett, who has some flaws to his game but will
still be a top pick this June. But, in all the hubbub surrounding Williamson and
Barrett, many forgot about the third freshman in Duke’s Big 3 – Cameron Reddish.
Coming into Duke, Reddish was held in the same regard as Williamson and Barrett,
with many expecting all three to be jockeying each other for the first overall
pick in the NBA Draft. But, while Williamson’s and Barrett’s shined like the sun
throughout the collegiate season, Reddish’s merely twinkled. He struggled to
find a consistent rhythm with the Blue Devils, averaging 13.5 points on 35.6%
shooting to go along with 3.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists. Questions also came up
about his love for the game of basketball, showcasing apathy at times this
season. This has caused Reddish’s stock to fall, especially when compared to
both his fellow freshman stars.
Despite his lack of drive and lackluster stats, there is still some intrigue
into what kind of player Reddish will exactly become. After measuring in at the
draft combine at 6’8″ in shoes with a 208-pound frame and a 7′ wingspan, he has
started to draw favorable comparisons to Jayson Tatum and this is boosting his
draft stock. A lot of NBA teams also see his game transitioning to the next
level with relative ease, helping Reddish’s draft stock from bottoming out
entirely. While Reddish might not be drafted by the teams in the top four of the
draft, there is a good chance the Cleveland Cavaliers take a shot at the former
Blue Devil and it is starting to look like they just might. – CLICK HERE to read
