I don't care about blocks for their own sake...I'm bringing them up in an attempt to put evidence behind my claim that Reddish lacks the toughness characteristic of great NBA defenders. Below are the college blocks/rebounds per 40 for those players:
Tony Allen - 7.0, 1.0
Victor Oladipo - 8.4, 0.9
Jimmy Butler - 7.4, 0.6
Paul George - 7.9, 1.1
Andre Igoudala - 10.4, 0.7
Klay Thompson - 5.6, 0.9
Kawhi Leonard - 12.8, 0.8
Andre Roberson - 14.1, 2.0
Danny Green - 8.2, 2.1
Rovert Covington - 9.9, 1.7
Cam Reddish - 5.0, 0.6
Nas Little - 9.0, 1.1
To be clear, I do Reddish will be a solid defender at the NBA level, especially in a role where he uses his quick feet and anticipation to contain smaller offensive players. He just sort of rubs me the wrong way because he seems to play smaller than his listed size in a lot of situations, whereas most elite defenders do the opposite.
And I do think Little's middling steal rate is a pretty major issue. Don't really understand it either...he seems like he should be getting a lot of steals, but he just doesn't.
For what it's worth, my draft rater has both of them at -0.1 defensively, basically a wash.
