New York Knicks: 2019 NBA Draft rankings and stats 2.0

4. Kevin Porter Jr., USC

Previous rank: N/A
Position: Guard
Height: 6-foot-5
Stats: 14.0 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.2 SPG, 1.0 BPG, 1.4 3PM, 53.8 percent shooting, 35 percent on three-pointers

Kevin Porter Jr. quickly rose up NBA draft boards in the season’s first month. His crossovers and moves to the basket play like James Harden’s; he handles the ball well; he provides one steal and one block per game; he can shoot from distance.

It’s almost the full package for an NBA prospect. His 6-foot-9 wingspan isn’t elite, but still good enough to offer defensive upside at the next level.

For now, there’s a decent chance Porter locks himself in as a lottery pick. Right now, he plays like a top-five selection. Let’s see how this changes for his inevitable breakout game.

3. Cameron Reddish, Duke

Previous rank: 3rd
Position: Guard/Forward
Height: 6-foot-8
Stats: 15.7 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 1.7 APG, 1.8 SPG, 3.2 3PM, 42 percent shooting, 43.2 percent on three-pointers

Cameron Reddish entered as Duke’s third-best player, but also the third-ranked prospect for the 2019 NBA Draft. His talents, despite the low overall shooting percentage, have been on display, including using his 6-foot-8 height and 7-foot-1 wingspan to wreak havoc on the perimeter.

Surprisingly, Reddish doesn’t have a block to his name. That may change as he becomes comfortable at a higher level of basketball.

NBADraft.net also pegged Reddish as someone who “tends to settle too often for outside shots.” He makes 43.2 percent of them, but 7.3 of his 11.5 attempts per game come from behind the arc.

Reddish is at least a top-five pick, and, if the New York Knicks settle in this range, he’ll be there and make for an interesting addition between Hardaway, Porzingis, Robinson and Kevin Knox.
