I read this on Cam Reddish -

Before All-Star Break:

No Basketball tonight means I get to break down all of the Cam's advanced stats, metrics, and charts. Cam is going to be a professional scorer. He needs a lot less than anyone on our team to score outside of Trae and it's not even close. Against CLE, his PPT was an insane .552. Meaning every time he touch the ball, over 1 out of 2 touches would lead to points. Next year, Cam will breakout if not even sooner.

https://stats.nba.com/players/touches/?Season=2019-20&SeasonType=Regular Season&TeamID=1610612737&sort=PTS_PER_TOUCH&dir=1&LastNGames=1

We need to get his touches up to 50-65 per game level. Don't be surprised if he's averaging 20ppg a game next year.



In the last 15 games, these are the players with a higher PPT than Cam Reddish (.415) who played at least 25 mins a night:

Kawhi Leonard - INSANE but that's shouldn't come as a surprise, he's a top 3 NBA player. Leonard - 0.443

Bradley Beal - 10 points over Cam. An insane .425. Elite!

Jaylen Brown - An All-Star level 0.430. CRAZY. Boston really needs to give him more touches but his lack of creativity for others might hurt that.

Zach LaVine - Been on a complete offensive tear, 0.417

Seth Curry - He is the best PDS off the bench guard in the NBA right now. 0.441

Eric Gordon - Superstar 6th man is back in the 2nd half of the season like usual: 0.445

T.J. Warren - Been on an offensive monster run in the last 15 games: 0.496. This might be the highest period in the NBA. Meaning, every other time he touches the ball, he gets points. Think about that.

Dillon Brooks - I call him the new Michael Redd for a reason. 0.416. A shooting machine who scores like a microwave.

I won't add Jae Crowder since he's too new.

Zion Williamson - Not much needs to be said. Guarding him is like guarding Shaq to a degree. 0.490

Marcus Morris Sr (Knicks) - While he has cooled off immensely with the Clippers, with the Knicks he was looking like a damn star PF. 0.444

Devin Booker - He was on a mission to prove he was snubbed and showed it too. 0.477

Kelly Oubre - One of the hottest scorers of all season. Oubre been nothing but a bucket. 0.438

Gary Trent Jr. - He's been on one in the last month or two like Cam has on offense but even more than Cam. Like Cam, he needed the game to slow down to an extreme level but the awareness and BBIQ was always there. 0.486

Norman Powell - As the Hawks experienced, Powell has been kicking ass and taking names in JAN and been hurt in FEB. 0.444

Jordan Clarkson - Since the trade to Utah, Jordan has been what the doctor ordered for the Jazz. Instant bucket for them. 0.444

Bojan Bogdanovic - He has been hitting buzzer-beaters and just flat out a game-changer in JAN and FEB for the Jazz. 0.462

16 players ahead of Cam Reddish. That's all.

Post All-Star Break -

He's been in the top five for points per touch in the NBA for players playing more than 24 MPG. Cam Reddish is a walking bucket not to mention a defensive menace but but but but... I wouldn't take him in the 2nd round but but but but Ingles and Batum are faster but but but but I would take Aaron Holiday and Yogi Ferrell this season over Trae Young but but but but STFU!

Cam has so much potential is bonkers, he still doesnt even really know what hes doing out there, glad to see him playing well hes been solid the last month or so

...over his last 19 games (including 10 starts), Reddish's efficiency has made a huge jump to 44 percent from the field and 41 percent from deep, with five of the six 20-point games of his career coming during that stretch. He's also one of the few Hawks who can make a defensive impact, averaging over a steal per game. As Trae Young starts to possibly gets some nights off toward the end of the year, it will be interesting to see if Atlanta can run its offense through Reddish.

The 2 point % thing is crazy.

[King Ken]

The 2 point % thing is crazy.

He's starting to figure it out. He's realizing he's not the most explosive so he's adjusting like Trae did in the 2nd half of the season last year.

[getrichordie]

I said it before the draft and I'll say it again, Reddish is going to be the best long-term prospect out of the Duke Big 3. I wouldn't be surprised if we take a look at these guys from the 2019 draft and say Morant and Reddish are the two best players. Still think Zion's knees go out within 3-4 years. Maybe sooner. Tired of people freaking out when a prospect doesn't show immediate dividends. NBA adjustment is a thing. And didn't Reddish have an injury he was coming back from?

[Saints14]

As a Bills fan I'm convinced Cam Reddish is the Josh Allen of the NBA

One day Zion will suffer a Derrick Rose type of injury, the question is when? For now, Zion is a beast, the hype is real, but I am surprised how disappointing he has been as a rebounder. I thought he would be rebounding at the same volume as young Blake Griffin. Zion doesn't seem to have a knack at going after the ball like Rodman or Charles, he seems to just out jump everybody if it bounces to his side.

Red had such a horrible start to his rookie season, but with the way he has been playing the last 2 months, he still has a shot at making the all rookie team.

I loved all three freshmen from Duke and wish all three amazing careers which I think R.J., Cam, and Zion will have.

eeeeevvvvveeeeerrrrryyyyy thinggggg issss sllllllooooowwwwwiiiiiinnnnngggg dowwwwwnnnnnn for Cam and this looks like the results. you can see it in the handle and attack dribble he's finding spots not barreling into traffic and is confident that he can execute and deliver on what the defense gives him.

Bambi legs. Hopefully he keeps up good conditioning in the off season and comes back in proper shape. The rebouding will work itself out the same way the defense should. He reads off the rim really well but i agree he isn't putting in the proper effort to go and get the boards he should have. In shape Zion is a 2nd and 3rd effort jumper and active with his read and response off the glass and should be one of the better rebounders in the league going forward.

Back on topic though, the talent Cam has is starting to show and the confidence seems to be running in stride with it. If he can keep both up with this level of consistency he's going to make a helluva a leap come year two and outright suprise those who saw the start of the season and wrote him off never to return again.

When it comes to Zion's rebounding, the biggest reason of that is scheme. As of right now he averaged 3.5 offensive rebounds per 36, that is 1st for any non center in the NBA this year and on par with a guy like Gobert. On the defensive end, if he isn't in the post when the shot goes up, his job is to basically run down the court as an outlet for Lonzo. They're also a far better rebounding team with Zion on the court (+10 TRB%). So as long as he plays in a system like this, he is never going to be a monster rebounder because he won't get the defensive board numbers.

As someone who has ridden the Cam train of all the highs and lows over the last 2+ years. I was very very skeptical of him ever becoming a consistent player. But Im very happy to see him playing well over the last month and a half.

He's been shooting great recently, but the rest of his game still seems questionable.
