5 Unpopular free agents who could become game-changers for the 76ers

2. The reclamation of Cam Reddish could continue in Philadelphia

Cam Reddish, who hasn’t quite reached the expectations laid down on him since his rookie year, is probably not going to live up to his former billing as an eclectic scoring threat anymore. However, all hope is not lost, especially considering the way he reinvented himself this season as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Instead of pigeonholing him into a one-dimensional role as a rabid scorer, the Lakers found relative success turning Reddish into a defensive-minded, low-usage wing who can score on the tertiary and put pressure on the defense when need be. His counting stats don’t look great, but at the very least, he managed to carve out a niche role that he can thrive in given his skillset and physical tools.

As a possible depth piece signing, Reddish has the potential to be a hell of a bargain for the 76ers next season. For as long as a taxing role isn’t demanded from him, the young wing can still thrive, even by virtue of his innate skills. It’s also a plus that he’s built like the Nick Nurse prototype who can be an effective deterrent, especially defensively.
