For much of this season, Cam Reddish has been overshadowed by fellow freshmen sensations Zion Williamson and R.J. Barrett.
But Reddish emerged from the shadows on Saturday when he drained a wide-open 3-pointer in the final seconds to propel No. 1 Duke to a 70-68 win at No. 13 Florida State.
“I was just trusting in God the whole time, that’s all I really could do” Reddish told ESPN after the game.
Reddish became the sixth Duke freshmen with five or more 3-pointers against a Top-15 opponent.

With Williamson on the bench in the second half after getting poked in the eye in the first, Reddish (23 points) and Barrett (32) combined for 55 for Duke (14-1, 3-0 ACC).
“He’s going through a little eye injury, so we had to fight and continue to play hard and trust each other,” Reddish said.
Barrett now ranks first all-time in scoring among Duke freshmen, with Williamson at No. 3
Williamson is the projected No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, with Cleveland, Phoenix and the Knicks holding the NBA’s worst three records. Barrett is the projected No. 2 pick.
