Moderators AHF Posted November 18, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 My favorite play may have been the rebound / save to Hunter. Good savvy and nice touch to keep that one in play and not turn it over. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just aren’t dropping. He does need to work on some strength specially in his hands though 🖐 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyRoc Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 It isn’t the same thing at all. Cam was very streaky and inefficient in college. He’s got to work on his shot. He hasn’t earned the label of being a shooter at any level. I do think he can become a shooter though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not an apples to apples comparison though when Cam had many more open catch and shoot opportunities and saw a much lower level of defensive attention and pressure.

That's a fair statement but both were primary 3pt shooters and shot with high variance. That should account for a lot in these two cases but I agree. He wasn't getting doubled from 3 like Trae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Popular Post JayBirdHawk Posted November 19, 2019 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Quote Cam Reddish has taken his fair share of criticism this season (including from yours truly on multiple occasions) for his work on the offensive end of the floor. He’s legitimately harmful to the Atlanta Hawks on offense right now, what with his 36.6 percent true shooting and sometimes-questionable shot selection. However, the chatter surrounding his offense masks Reddish’s best trait at this point early on in his rookie year: he’s already a rotation-level defender. Due to roster construction and the continued unavailability of Kevin Huerter through much of the early part of the season, Reddish has been matched up a lot more often on smaller guards than it was thought he might be in the pre-draft process. Standing at 6’8 and weighing in north of 200 pounds, Reddish has the physical profile of a prototypical forward at the NBA level, but after Atlanta drafted De’Andre Hunter six spots ahead of Reddish, it wasn’t clear that he was going to have a path to play significant minutes at the 3 for the Hawks this season. Small mercies. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted November 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I think Jeff is more down than I or LP is. I think he is a good NBA starting level wing defender and a pretty damn good SG defender. LP is right, the goals is for him to be an elite defender. Hoping that he will be Giannis on defense or Kawhi is kinda out there. Since those two really can defend 4s as well. Reddish is more like Covington and George but not as big or polished defensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post JayBirdHawk Posted November 21, 2019 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Quote Reddish wasn’t told to head to the facility after appearing at Topgolf. He took it upon himself to go. So from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. after what the coaching staff deemed a good day of practice for Reddish on Tuesday morning, the rookie worked and talked basketball with Hunt. What the coaching staff has learned about Reddish during the past few months since he was selected No. 10 overall in the draft is that once there’s a fire sparked inside of Reddish, it’s almost like he’s a new person. He needs to be pushed and propelled. He had the best half of his young career Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers after head coach Lloyd Pierce got onto him, and, really, the entire team at halftime. But the Hawks are hoping Reddish gets to a point where he doesn’t need that extra pushing to get him in that mindset the organization wants him to get to, and these past few days have been encouraging. “Once he finds that motivation within himself and starts waking up every day and says, ‘I’m an NBA basketball player. I’m Cam Reddish’ — that’s when we might see a difference,” assistant coach Marlon Garnett, who is Reddish’s primary day-to-day coach, told The Athletic after practice Wednesday. “It hasn’t been a challenge, but it’s just a reminder for him.” Garnett is primarily assigned to Reddish, Trae Young and Tyrone Wallace and is DeAndre’ Bembry’s secondary coach. Garnett is the one who helps those three with their vitamin workouts, is instructing them during warmups prior to the games and breaks down their film work of practices and games. What the coaches have seen with Reddish on film hasn’t matched what he has shown in practices, and that’s where they feel like the disconnect has been when it comes time to play. The staff has noticed that Reddish, in practice, has his left foot anchored to the ground, and then he steps and follows through with his right foot in practice. A lot of Reddish’s shot attempts in games come with him hopping into his shot, which is not what he’s practicing, so he’s out of rhythm. “Just to do that, he’s late reacting, and it’s over,” Pierce said. “It’s a different rhythm. If you shoot with a different rhythm than what you worked on, you’re going to get a different result. It’s studying little things like that. We studied this with De’Andre (Hunter). He’s shot ready, but sometimes (his follow-through is off), and sometimes he’s CJ McCollum, and he holds his follow-through. When you awaken a guy to something they might not even be aware of, and I don’t even think it’s something he’s been aware of. He’s hopping into his 3s, and all he does is work on his left foot down and step, step. These things take time. The readiness before the ball gets there is huge. Vince (Carter) is great at it. De’Andre Hunter is very good at it. Kevin Huerter is not great at it, surprisingly; he just has an easy release. Shot ready is not something (Reddish) is very good at.” 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrell Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) HIs defense is definitely legit..Showed some flashes of offensive potential tonight too..If we could mix him in a blender with Trae, Im taking that dude over LUka too. lol Edited January 13, 2020 by terrell 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thecampster Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 One of the things I talked about this year was Cam missing summer league. He missed a lot of prep time. The off-season is when most of these guys get with personal coaches and work with them on things like shooting mechanics, feel, offensive sets, timing. I fully expect that if Cam gets a healthy off-season under his belt that he comes in next season looking like a top 5 pick. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
