In the 2018/19 season, the Duke Blue Devils The NCAA players achieved one of the greatest generations of high school recruits, having three of the top five players on their team. Zion Williamson became the top star, but Coach K’s top two prospects that year will now be in the NBA together.
The Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks They agreed on Thursday a transfer that sends the forward Cam Reddish to the Big Apple, , in exchange for the selection of first round of 2022 the Knicks had from Charlotte Y Kevin Knox, another forward chosen in the Lottery a year and a pick earlier (# 9 in 2018, from Kentucky),
The change also includes the Brooklyn Nets, who send the Knicks to Solomon Hill and a second-round pick, reported Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Reddish, despite being the second-gen 2018 prospect out of high schoolBetter than Zion Williamson and only behind Barrett, but he hasn’t lived up to expectations either in Duke or in the NBA. With the Blue Devils, he averaged just 13.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and just 33.3% of triples, far from the 23.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists that he averaged in his last year on the AAU circuit and the 22.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in his last. year in high school, but He took third offensive spot on the Blue Devils behind Zion and Barrett, or fourth behind guard Tre Jones.

In each of his three seasons in the league, he has averaged more than 10 points, but less than 12, with a high of 11.9 this year. He lives his best season behind the arc, with 37.9% accuracy, but he continued coming off the bench behind perimeter Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kevin Huerter and De’Andre Hunter, which took him 23.4 minutes on the court, his fewest since entering the league.
Reddish was looking for more minutes and would have them on the Knicks, who needed help in that role of triples and perimeter defense that fits Reddish. He’s more physique than Alec Burks and Evan Fournier, which will help in defense, and his triple will help Knicks who are ninth with 35.9%, below the season average of their new player.
