Reddish looks good

[Whyachi]

Reddish was the decoy tonight. Lakers were so focused on guarding Cam, they let Thybulle run amock

Slow feet. Molasses slow.

Like a prune tang!

Thybulle looked like A BULL but in a Blazers uni.

Reddish still looks unsure. Thybulle looked like a hand slipping into a well fit glove.

I expect Reddish to struggle, but that come from behind block under rim and the steal, then assist, when he could have taken his own shot were signs that he could be a nice contributor.

Ironically, a "glove" in which Gary Payton II never fit.

Here's my two-game evaluation of Reddish:

-- He plays lackadaisical in some ways. Not sure if he's lazy or just so unsure of what to do that he doesn't commit and go all out.

-- He has a lot of athletic and offensive tools but doesn't seem to have a good grasp of how to put them all together.

-- He struggles doing the little things. Just on the basis of his athletic ability, he could score 8 points per game with opportunistic cuts, running the break well and getting offensive rebounds and putting them in or getting to the line. He seems a bit too into the idea that he needs to make big plays and doesn't understand the value of developing the smaller ones.

He looks to me like a potential Maurice Harkless with vastly greater upside. Even if he just turns into Harkless, that's not a bad thing, but Mo eventually embraced that not being a star offensive player didn't mean he couldn't be a good contributor. Reddish's all-around game seems to decline if he doesn't get off to a good groove offensively from the start.

Cam's 3rd game, 18pts on 7-12 shooting.

Agreed on all points. Even though he had a much better game than Thybulle this game, I’m still sticking with Thybulle if we had to choose between the two.

Me too. And it's not necessarily a knock on Cam, I think he has the potential to be a decent starter (10-14 ppg), but the chance of him becoming another in the long line of journeymen nba players is bigger.

I think there's a reason why, as a lotto pick, he's already on his 3rd team. And it doesn't help that he's missed almost an entire seasons worth of games throughout his career (74 games missed or DNP in 230 games possible, or an average of about playing 58 games a year).

Full disclosure, I think Matisse averages about 68 games a year played...

How are we feeling about Cam after the Kings game? His ability to get to the line is somewhat intriguing, I’ll admit.

The question is, is he worth in the range of the QO to come off the bench? Doesn’t seem like he’s starter quality in the near-term given his inability to defend consistently.

I'd resign him.

Jerami Grant dribbles freely for a tall 6-9 guy, gets no rebounds, and shoots well once every 5 games. Reddish is a clone, except he shoots well once every 5 seasons. At least I can watch them both dribble.

 

[Cugel]

He is still young, but good size and athleticism and once his shot improves he will be a solid roster piece. There is no reason he cant be as productive as Grant if he wants it enough. All the tools are there

 

[Samuel]

7-7 at the line puts him at 57% TS on the day. Decent efficiency if you can find it.
