The New York Knicks brought together two of the centerpieces of the 2018-19 Duke team that made it all the way to the regional finals of the ’19 NCAA tournament before losing to Michigan State.
Cam Reddish is now a Knick, with the Atlanta Hawks dealing the small forward to New York. That pairs him with his former Blue Devils teammates R.J. Barrett, who’s coming off of the best two-game stretch of his career.
The third player we’re talking about here? Zion Williamson of course.
Williamson is currently on the mend from foot surgery … and, more importantly, is still a member of the New Orleans Pelicans. That didn’t stop everyone from hoping for a reunion:

The obvious question: why was the market for Reddish so limited? He’s extension eligible this summer and this price would seem to indicate he wants a lot.
