Reddish took 19 shots for 16 points with 13 of them being 3s. I’m not understanding why he is considered a top 3 player. 

Yep. Mostly because he has incredible skills for his size but it seems like it's all window dressing.

He's not a winner in my estimation. He's a bit selfish. His shooting percentages aren't as strong as they should be. BUT he has the size and skills to have a higher ceiling than most. A very hard one to judge.

That is why I am a big fan of Forrester. He hustles and produces even though his usage rate is way down. Reddish has great NBA potential but I see him as a guy who went to school one year but didn’t do much ala Andrew Wiggins.

The only player ahead of Romeo that warrants that distinction is Barrett. I’ll take Romeo over Zion, Reddish, Bol Bol and Nassir Little

Worked an AAU tournament that he played at very very good player. Unbelievable talent but his team lost early in the tournament when they were head and shoulders the best team there. I don’t think he’s as concerned with winning in High school as he is with his stats.

Forrester seems like the perfect big for Archie's system. I like that he's used to not being the star. That's pretty rare. 

You've got that right. The kid has zero offense ran for him because everything they do revolves around Cam Reddish.

Jake is kind of the forgotten man here.  He may be very important for us.  Sure love seeing things like this, though!

Oh my goodness; with that tweet he could be an effective, cranky-a$$ BtwonBanners poster!

Love it.

I personally feel like Bol Bol is too high myself. I know these rankings have a lot to do with potential and yes he has that too. But at his height and his low release on his shot will hurt him after HS b-ball days
