How Cam Reddish Failed in the NBA

Cam Reddish seems to be unanimously known as one of the most talented young players in the NBA, yet every year he seems to disappoint. Today we cover the story of why one of the top young prospect's in recent years has turned into one of the biggest NBA draft busts.

Cam reddish need to understand that he’s not a star but if he can humble him self he can be one of the best 3 and D guys in the league

One of the most unusual players in the nba right now

When Cam Reddish gets going, he plays like Trevor Ariza. Pick pockets, hustle, and shoot 3's.

Cam is a perfect example of what I mean when I say AAU ball is ruining these players. It teaches them to be iso reliant and they don’t know how to play system basketball, they can only score and shoot in a rhythm. But what happens when you fall in the draft and you don’t get 20-30 touches per game they literally don’t know what to do with themselves

As a Duke fan, people really fail to realize that Cam committed to Duke before Zion and RJ. I really love Cam Reddish, but really wish he decommitted after specifically RJ committed too. It was great to have on the team, but it seemed to stunt his growth and confidence that he had so much of.

I said this dude was a bust when he was averaging 35% from the field at Duke. People were acting like I was crazy.

Editing in this vid was top tier 🔥 great work bro!

His biggest mistake was not decommiting from Duke when Zion and RJ committed.

Cam was a point forward for his entire high school career. He should have gone into a system that allowed him to be a lead guard (like Trae Young at OK). Solidifying himself at that point forward role would have pushed NBA teams to play him at that position. Playing the 3 and D at Duke made NBA teams categorize him as a wing.

Top recruits should learn from this and go to a school that’ll allow them to showcase their strengths. Don’t just commit to these blue blood programs because of their rep.

On one of the draft boards they were comparing to Tracey mcgrady

It’s about perspective. Bro failed in the NBA. But won at life. He’s still made $21 million before the age of 25.

[manarmy]

I kinda seen it at Duke. The other two Zion and RJ was hungry

[moneyman]

Brandon Miller is what i thought Cam would be, he looked like a less athletic/explosive Paul George to me …. He lacks alot of things tho and it was foreshadowed at Duke

[Amir-ali]

He hurt his career asking for trade out of Atlanta thinking he would get a better situation but didn’t.

[mediocrespiderlad]

Dude could pull a Dante Exum and go to the Euro league, maybe figure out a role, and come back later. For now he's just Melo with the Hawks effective 😂

[Sil_Dante]

I would love to see him with Miami. Spoelstra and that staff could really maximize his potential. They did it with Duncan, Jaquez, Caleb Martin etc.

[RangeFromDeep]

As a Hawks fan, I keep thinking this is the year for him. He's a tease and smacks of a guy who hasn't worked hard on his craft. He doesn't have much of an IQ, I think defensive role player at best, if there's a market for such a thing.

[Monkeyman]

He just don’t work enough. “talent don’t get you far in this league ur work ethic does” - LeBron James.

[Danny-sdvm]

Its kind of crazy that Zion, RJ and Cam haven't done much of anything in the NBA.

[IceCrispy]

Right when you think bro is a monotone speaker he gives you a witty delivery that keeps you locked in. Great job my yute

Cam reddish may not be an all star but when the hawks drafted him in first round in the 2019 draft they wanted him to develop like a star just like Trae did in the 2018 draft. But as years went by the hawks traded him for basically nothing. Because remember the 2022 first round pick the hawks traded for after they traded reddish? They receive basically nothing in return for him just a half a season in Knox. That's why his career took a downhill since he got traded to the knicks then again to the Blazers now in his 6th season we don't even know if he is improving or not. That's why nobody might not pick up reddish who shot below 35 percent from three.
