4 Most Overrated 2019 NBA Draft Prospects

The 2019 NBA Draft is just one week away, and fans are rightly going crazy over the potential prospects coming off the board. Many of these guys have shown that they're the best of the best at the amateur level, and they're ready for the big time in the Association. But some of these guys, as we see every year, might be slightly overrated-- beginning with this foursome.

1. Cam Reddish

Cam Reddish showed some of the greatest potential and also some of the greatest risk factors in his one-and-done year at Duke. Though he averaged 13.5 points per game and flashed major upside as a shooter, his all-around game was inconsistent. Some could attribute this to a roster full of top-tier prospects that all wanted the ball, but at the end of the day, the NBA requires knowing how to serve out your role no matter who's sharing the court with you. That's an open question for Cam.

2. Nassir Little

Nassir Little displayed attractive athletic ability and defensive prowess over his one season at North Carolina, but this does not make up for his rocky start in other aspects. Coming into his freshman season, he was considered to have a real chance at top-five draft pick status, but his college highlights reveal a possible lack of readiness and killer instincts that other prospects already possess. Little does show potential, but taking him too high would be a major risk.

3. Bol Bol

The 7-foot-2 center has been attracting eyes for years due to his outlandish height and length that he has been able to pair with a steady presence outside the three-point line. The questions about Bol Bol are inevitable, however, after a season-ending injury that cut his freshman campaign at Oregon short. Teams should wonder whether his lanky frame will be durable enough to hack it as an NBA center, and whether he'll be able to shake a reputation of an injury-prone big man who can't quite it all together.

4. Zion Williamson

Yes, we went there. At 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, the NBA has been excited to get Zion Williamson since they saw him in high school, as there's no player quite like him. The star forward has shown his size, strength, and multi-position versatility on both ends of the court, and easily dominated the NCAA. But he has also showed a lack of consistency with his jumper and a tendency to try and plow right through defenders. Given his height, who is he going to guard on a nightly basis? Yes, he does deserve to be drafted No. 1 overall in this field, but there are serious questions surrounding the kid's long-term court role despite the incredible hype surrounding him.
