Cam Reddish on pace for worst shooting season in modern era

Bank Shot · Post #61 » by **Bank Shot** » Sat Nov 30, 2019 4:10 pm

I was told he was the new T-Mac :lol:

One of the easiest bust calls in a long, long time. He'll be OK on defense but he can't shoot from anywhere and he was one of the WOAT finishers for a first-round pick at Duke. Tre Jones shot about 10% better at the rim last year on about 25% more attempts.

I find him really fascinating though. I check his line about as often as I check Harden's, Luka's, etc. Dudes this bad almost never play this much. It's fun to follow.

Well not like RJ Barrett is much better
And Zion can not even get onto the court
The Duke rookies looking like duds so far

RJ might not be the most efficient but hes by far better than Cam atm. RJs faults in college were inefficiency and to stop or improve on his tunnel vision. Imo hes definitely improved the tunnel vision. TBH I'm more so surprised he was able to flash some of his potential on such a awful and dysfunctional team.

Reddish looks pretty garbage-ish

I’m happy with RJ so far. I doubt many would say RJ isn’t much better.

If a redraft was held right now, I wonder how far Cam would fall. RJ is still 3rd IMO

He’s been Rubbish. I thought he would be much better than this.

Let’s see where he is year 3.

Trae was a best in college tho lol. Almost all guys are n the NBA were beat in college. Cam struggled to look like he belonged on the college floor. It’s even worse now

I’m not comparing their college careers. I’m just comparing ppl writing them off very early.

Folks might be right in this case. Still too early.

How is anyone surprised by this? I thought he was a mid 2nd pick at best and couldn't understand how anyone tabbed this guy as a lottery pick. He's an even worse shooter than Josh Jackson. What I will be surprised by is if he's still in the league in 5 years.

This is not a surrpise. . He has been a TERRIBLE shooter his entire life. All of the fascination surrounding him relates to his measurables. He looks the type but he isn't. He has shown that over and over again.

Anyways, before the draft people were saying Reddish would be a boom-or-bust type of guy. He seems to be trending bust so far but it hasn't even been a third of the way through his rookie season. He has actually been trending upwards as the season has progressed - I think he started the season shooting around .180 or something.
I think we'll know better what kind of player he is in his sophomore season ... if he still gets minutes.

Nope. Huerter started only like 2 games this year. He was benched for Cam.

And as far as trending upwards goes he only has 2 games shooting over 40% and he was 35% from the field in college. He has no potential, he's **** trash.
Huerter is 100% still the starter when he is healthy and not on a minutes restriction.

He didn't start the first 2 weeks of the season and he wasn't on a minutes restriction.

Cam would contribute more than he is now if he didn't play.

Huerter was on a minutes restriction to start the year.

Atlanta is approaching Cam the completely wrong way. There's a good chance that might ruin him. They needed to take him along slowly. He had major parts of his game that needed work. Instead they've forced him into the starting lineup before he was ready and now he's struggled. I question where his confidence level is right now. Where ever it is it can't be high.

Actually INCREASED his field goal %

there is only one direction to go now honestly speaking

ChuckChilly · Post #78 » by **ChuckChilly** » Tue Dec 3, 2019 8:41 am

I think his confidence level is pretty good, as he continues to keep shooting. Im more worried about DeAndre Hunters confidence than Reddish because Hunter seems to get shot blocked at least twice game.

But I think Reddish will end up being a Corey Brewer type player/ career when it's all said and done.

I have no idea what possessed the Hawks to use a decent pick on a player that had been trending downwards all year prior to the draft.

Yes, he left HS with a good reputation, but by the end of the college year he'd revealed major flaws in nearly every area of his game. If a rookie comes into the league and plays poorly you don't assume he's going to become a top player the next year and offer him a max contract, but Reddish had already looked like he was struggling to shine even playing with college athletes, why on earth anyone thought he'd turn it around in the NBA I have no idea.

This was a case of the Hawks being seduced by picking up a big name HS athlete, he'll be lucky to get a min contract when his rookie contract runs out.

He's okay on that end.

side note: I want Reddish's agent to negotiate EVERYTHING for me

Not much negotiation for rookie scale contracts, I just want Reddish's hype man.
