#6. Washington Wizards – Cam Reddish
Ranked as the third-best prospect coming into the 2018 college basketball season, Cam Reddish largely underwhelmed in his lone college season, as he only shot 33.3 percent from long range on a lofty 61.8 percent three-point attempt rate. His true shooting percentage was also subpar at 49.9 percent.
