I have never seen someone get so much of a pass ever. He hasn’t shown much of anything college and has had opportunities. He’s not good off the ball, he’s a ball watcher movement wise, he’s not a good athlete, he’s an OK ball handler, he’s wildly inconsistent creating space for his own shot, he’s not much of a slasher, he’s not a good spot up shooter, he’s not really great as a pull up shooter, he doesn’t use his length to help finish, he’s not really a playmaker. It’s like he’s got good shooting form and defensive potential and that is it. I think it bothers me so much because I see absolutely nothing warranting lottery considerations. I can think of about 5 or 6 wings off the top of my head that should be drafted ahead of him.
A Marcus Thornton level bucket getter who shoots from range with volume who has Josh Okogie like D at 6'9 and has very good PnR handler potential is extremely intriguing IN OUR SYSTEM. It's not that difficult to understand. Add this talent level and fluidity with our pace, having Trae and our playing style gives us tremendous potential.
He is a great athlete. Extremely fluid. Elite lateral quickness for his size and has tremendous feel for steals. Look, he clearly has limitations. A number of them you mentioned. But I'll interject when you are wrong.
As I've said, him and Bol Bol are both boom or bust prospects. Last year, it was Trae Young and Mo Bamba. Situations are KINGS for these talented but flawed players.
He has a very average first step. He’s not creating separation in the NBA. There’s at least 2 or 3 better PnR ball handlers in this draft (Culver and Langford).
The guy is not a shooter. His limitations actually take away from the impact he will have offensively. There’s just a bunch of wings out there who are better overall AND better fits.
I will say this though. After Hunter, Reddish is probably the best defender in the group.
I can’t wait for time to tell on this kid. I hope he does well, but I hope even more that we don’t draft him.
FWIW, Trae was never boom or bust in my eyes. He was the third best prospect in that draft in my eyes at the time. Future MVP. He and Ayton were the only guys I saw with that kind of potential.
No he doesn't, he has a very good first step and an excellent one for his size. He is just weak due to his lack of core strength. We seen this before with PG24 and Marvin but like PG, he has coordination and he is fluid while Marvin wasn't. We saw this with PG24 in his rookie year. He clearly has the 2nd best one for this class wings. Clarke clearly has an elite first step. Reddish 2nd and and 3rd step isn't much. He lacks explosiveness.
Lol, Culver is not a better PnR handler. He is a better playmaker but clearly not a better PnR handler. Reddish is ranked as one of the best in the country at it even if Coach K doesnt use it often for anyone not named R.J. including Tre and Zion who also ranks high. You saying saying **** at this point, the synergy and the data doesn't match this either.
Lol, are you serious? Of course he is a shooter. He is a bucket getter. What the hell are you watching? I am not going to waste my time with you. Your eye test is clearly lacking. You might be the new Diesel in that regard. I still remember Diesel trying to convince me Chris Kaman and Emeka Okafor is better than Al Horford due to rebounding.
When you start saying stupid **** like he is not a shooter and there are better fits. I lose all interest in taking you serious on Cam Reddish. I just hope this is a thing of player interest and not your logic on players in general.
