Little has looked easy for Reddish on his first lap around the league. Yes, winning is hard, and the Hawks, 8-30 entering the weekend, are Exhibit A to that. And Reddish himself has encountered his own trials, especially when he has an open look from 3 and the rim has become the size of a bottle cap.

Reddish’s 2019-20 NBA campaign has transitioned to the other side of the hyphen, where a player as green as he might actually begin stumbling into moments of clarity.

Wasn’t it roughly this time last year when the pro game started to make sense to another high-profile Hawks rookie? This was about the stage when Trae Young took off the training wheels, leaving behind a quite wobbly beginning. And he has only gained in speed and confidence since, and now often rides without even using the handlebars.

But not all these oh-very-young professionals keep the same schedule. For Reddish – who, with Young, is the answer to the eternal trivia question, “Who did the Hawks receive in exchange for future MVP Luka Doncic – remains an enigma in short pants. Where he fits in the grand Hawks scheme is scarcely clearer now than the moment the team took him with the supplementary first-round pick it got in the Doncic deal. His ceiling is undefined. His floor, however, is right there for all to see on the stat sheet: 31.7% field-goal percentage; 25.8% from 3. If there was a Mendoza Line in basketball, all but about an inch of the 6-foot-9 Reddish would be below it.

I won’t say dude is a bust but as a whole he has not looked good

Why would he do that? We got as much young talent as anyone. We just got two potential two-way wings who need time to develop. We gonna be good sooner than later.

Schlenk is gonna have to make some moves to improve this roster in the offseason. shyt some trades too...this year has been a total disaster and I don’t see us being good sooner than later, we’re probably a good 2-3 years from being a competitive basketball team

He is already our best perimeter defender and been progressing monthly shooting wise outside of this one. Be patience my nikka, shyt!

Breh this season has been a bust. He’s gonna get a full 3 years from me to fully evaluate him but let’s stop acting like he’s playing well on offense. He’s a solid defender and that’s it.

Damn son, a good post from you. Turning a new leaf and going away from trolling now?
Never trolling.

We were just on opposite sides of a fun little debate. Things got heated and you been throwing racial fallacies since.

Cam gotta stop hanging his head when he misses. He’s played a pretty good game today, been defending well and hitting the boards, keeping the ball moving and he’s hit a couple

Trae choose to have his worst game of the season tonight. Cam Reddish actually played well on both ends considering his role.

“We didn’t compete”-Lloyd Pierce

Why does this keep happening from this team? :dwillhuh:
He means possession by possession. Only Goodwin and Cam did. The rest of them tho. :camby: John played hard and wanted it but he didn't have it on offense but defense, he was fine. This was really on Kevin, the rest of the bench and obviously the main reason we lost, Trae.

I watched the game breh...they had some weird belief that we would just show up and win since WAS us short handed, but man outside of Huerter and Goodwin this was just a shytty overall performance. Lack of effort, fight, toughness...we barely scored a 100 against one of the few teams with a defense as bad or worse than ours
