There was another topic in the Utah Jazz forum awhile ago where I said I didn't think he will translate very well. His outside shot is great, unguardable even, I have never seen range like his before, and the kid shoots in every situation imaginable so he catches everyone off guard. So that part is fine at the next level. If he can get on the court, he'll still put up points. However, I don't like him driving to the hoop. He has very nice handles, he can get by his guy, but that 2nd tier help in the NBA is going to eat him alive. He gets blocked inside a lot even in college. His little scoop move is not going to work. And he doesn't pass extremely well in those situations. And he gets caught in weird spots all over the court. And he's an average defender.
Reddick is far too normal though to compare to Jimmer. He's a good shooter, has developed his bounce game, has improved his defense, but he's kind of a typical player. Fredette's completely unorthodox. That might be the reason he ultimately has so much success in the NBA, but I'm expecting more like an Eddie House career.
However, I also think somebody is going to take him in the lottery. He's a better athlete than people give him credit for and that will show in his workouts and at the combine. He'll light up Portsmith(is that the name of the pre-draft tourney?) if he plays there and be the golden boy of the subsequent summer league.
I'd take him on the Jazz. There is a shot he could be special. And he can improve on some of the negatives.
