Yeah, Reddish is underrated here. He’ll be a WAY better pro than Brandon Clarke. (just seeing if jowles is awake)

The Wins Produced people used to put out a mock draft (probably still do). Some of the players they liked a lot more than the consensus would get to the NBA and eventually put up the same pattern of stats they did in college. Unfortunately, some of those players wound up at the end of the bench and others eventually dropped out of the NBA altogether. They would argue that the player was actually very good just like they said. At no point did they ever consider that their measurement was wrong. Instead, if the model said he was also a good NBA player, it was multiple NBA organizations, multiple hall of fame coaches, and other players that were idiots for not recognizing the value of those players.

I like Clarke. In fact, I like him a lot. I wanted to give up a pick to get him.

I’m bringing up a different point. If you like a payer in college because he scores highly on your favorite model, he will almost certainly score well on that same model at the NBA level.

That does not mean the model is evaluating him correctly. It “could” mean you are overrating him or underrating him at both levels because of a flawed model.

Are they just picking the guys who were awesome in high school?

I think players evaluate each other based on the “range” of skills a player shows when they are watching them or playing against them. They want to know how hard it is to stop a player from scoring and how hard it is to score on them. They don’t necessarily look at decision making and efficiency using those skills. Almost everyone that has seen Reddish play “when healthy” says he’s going to be good. He hasn’t shown it in games, but he was also not healthy. We’ll see who’s right, but I suspect the Hawks are a pretty smart organization and he’s eventually going to wind up being a better player than the consensus here. It’s harder to imagine him having the best career.

During the 5 preparations games France is +37 when Frank is on the court !

Wait until he’s 6’10”.

Cam Reddish: Good at missing 3’s.

It’s a tough call, but my money is on Knox.
