It's making my blood absolutely boil that taking Reddish is going to cost us Barrett. on TDD I got downvoted into oblivion, but I haven't changed my mind, R.J Barrett and Nas Little is so much better than anything involving Reddish, and the reason for that is it seems like if we land Reddish we are out for Barrett.
Barett >>> Reddish, and I also think Little pairs better with Barrett better than Reddish. From what I've seen Reddish likes the ball in his hands, I think Little would be fine from what I've seen just being really physical on drive attempts and even down low, playing within the offense and sticking open threes as opposed to the ball sticking in his hands.
I don't understand the Reddish infatuation among some Duke fans. Is he a very good player? Sure. But he's not Barrett. Barrett is an elite player, and there is a gap between the two. I would like to have both, but that doesn't seem like a possibility. I think everyone loves Reddish so much because they don't know much about Barrett, whereas Reddish has been a Duke lean for a while now and has been talked about frequently in rosterbate posts. It's funny because it seems to me that since Barrett reclassified Reddish seems to be suddenly speeding up his recruitment to commit to Duke, in a way to beat Barrett to the punch.
I'm steamed about this whole situation. I'll be even crazy levels rustled if he commits to UK, and I'll be very pissed off if we saw Barrett/Emmitt Williams commit to Oregon. That's better than going to UK, but goddamnit I would have LOVED to see both of them commit to Duke over Reddish and whatever big man we will get.
