For regular readers of this weekly piece, you’ve probably noticed recent references to “prototypical small forward” and Portland Trail Blazers deadline addition Cam Reddish.
I’ll admit, this opinion was based purely on the “eye test” through his first games as a Blazer and the few times I saw him take the floor for the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks.
So I decided to dig a little deeper, looking closer at the numbers and the rocky NBA journey he's walked the first three-and-a-bit years of his career.
Selected 10th by the Hawks in 2019, Reddish was one of those rare mid-lottery picks who had played third banana in college, behind Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett.
