There seems to be a real chance Cam Reddish goes higher on draft night, which is a testament to strong workouts and his pedigree. Despite a dreadful season at Duke, there’s still quite a bit of intrigue surrounding the 6-foot-8 wing. The Hawks are a commonly connected team.
Reddish projects as a fluid shooter and high-I.Q. playmaker who can function in a secondary ball handling role. While the Blue Devils never offered Reddish enough touches to establish rhythm, the Hawks can strike the proper balance between developmental opportunities and a defined, controlled role next to Trae Young.
Atlanta is on the rise and stands as one of the best developmental teams in the NBA, largely due to Lloyd Pierce’s influence as head coach. Reddish gives the Hawks another floor-spacing wing, as well as someone who can handle in transition, defend multiple positions and take pressure off Young in the halfcourt.
