He has had an ankle injury that he has consistently missed time because of since Duke. Its whats keeping him from being consistent and getting off the ground as a Star.
He isn't being used correctly, just standing in the corners isn't going to build his confidence, solely playing defense and not getting offensive chances totally crashes 1s self-esteem..
amazing defender
at some point Ham played him so much minutes, even started him. i hated it, he never delivered.
It’s about perspective. Bro failed in the NBA. But won at life. He’s still made $21 million before the age of 25.
As a Duke fan, people really fail to realize that Cam committed to Duke before Zion and RJ. I really love Cam Reddish, but really wish he decommitted after specifically RJ committed too. It was great to have on the team, but it seemed to stunt his growth and confidence that he had so much of.
He’s still probably one of the best one on one players in all of basketball the problem is in a 5 v 5 if you can’t consistently shoot you can no longer play in the nba. If he gets a consistent 3pt shot and the defense has to come close to him he will then be able to showcase his atheletic ability and finish at the basket until then he’s simply not a viable nba player. See Russel Westbrook, Ben Simmons. Hes really not a bust the league is situational even at duke by him becoming and off ball player that negates his best skills. He simply needs to learn to shoot really well from three and not off the dribble. That’s it. Not everyone can have the ball in their hands in the nba that’s a. Privilege afforded to very few
You can be so talented you never have to learn how to compete. And then when you do, you think its unfair.
It’s not all his fault. Coaches failed to put him in positions to be successful.
He's been so important to the Lakers at times & LeBron just believes in this guy so much.
He is definitely difficult though. You can see that he doesn't even like the pressers. I hope he does better & I would e call him a bust. He is what he is.
He is just very inconsistent shooter doesn’t shoot the ball well
He lost all of his confidence…. It’s that simple
If he was my son I’d be very proud of him/rich, I’d say he succeeded in the NBA by getting picked where he did and acquiring generational wealth for his family which is the most important aspect.
He definitely didn’t live up to draft expectations but could play another ten years for more than the minimum and I don’t think anyone would be surprised. Lots of talent
So you just make videos hating on individuals? Lol. If he’s a bust, what does that make you…? I’d still take his life over yours anyway broski
Cam is a #1 option they just using him wrong
Dude should go to the heat, he’s gotta humble himself though
Lowkey he can still recover when he gets in a situation where he’s allowed to create. He gotta stop with the three ball tho
Don't say "Cam should have went." That is gad grammar. Say, "Cam should have gone."
He needs to stop smoking weed and dedicate himself the game.
So glad hawks got rid of him😊
Coach Spo would have him turn into a beast in Miami
5 mill a year I’ll take that .. only 24 still have plenty of time
Cam gotta embrace a role of 3&D to succeed in this league. That gets you paid (look at that horrible deal the Suns just gave Grayson Allen 😂). Too many mouths to feed on the Lakers. If a team like the Mavs were to get their hands on him it’d be open shots galore for him 😬. All he’d really have to focus on is his defense.
He’s definitely not a bust … the bust is the development of these young stars in the league . No 18-19 year old should go to the league unless if you have it all together. Too many people are in their ears tellin em to go
Cam problem is he still living incl this world where he was so good in high school. He was doing fine on the hawks but he wanted out to be a star on a team
Bro got the weirdest accent. Are you from the US?
HE SHOULDVE STAYED IN ATLANTA! He messed up his whole career leaving there. He was developing nicely on that young team and he wanted out 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Just shows you how unreal the talent is in the NBA
then Ham started this bust 🤣
Cam needs to figure it out otherwise he'll be long gone in nba. he needs the mamba mentality, i wish kobe still alive to train this dude
It’s his confidence he’s in his head he has the skill to be top 5 jus not the mental
I think he would have been better if he was able to go to the G League straight from high school instead of going to Duke, or if he just went to a different school.
He had a pro game.. but I think being forced to play into the system, on top of being the 3rd option in that same system.. messed him up in a lot of ways. Just an analysis
sounds like low IQ or ball-IQ issue
This editing style is horrifying, I feel nauseous watching this vid lmfao
Because he’s playing in lakers
Cam Reddish – Charmander
Brandon Ingram- Charmeleon
Kevin Durant – Charizard
It’s levels 😂😂
Im here after the hawks 1st pick and i remember thinking cam and trae WOULD DOMINATE THE LEAGUE im all for underdogs but he disappointed me and he was on my trailblazers and really disappointed me
It’s simple he don’t got that dog in him
He doesn’t look very quick at all
It’s still so crazy to me duke got Cam, Zion and RJ Barrett 🤯
he also shouldve never joined that super team, cuz i feel like he never grew with duke.
Look like Tarzan play like jane
He can still be alright i think? He just needs more confidence
And to think they ranked him a higher espn prospect over RJ lol barrett already looking ready to break out with the raps next year
He is done had his chance when he was on the Knicks
bc he went to duke and it fucked up his confidence from there bro could of went anywhere and been that guy and confidence would of went up and transferred to the league
If he gets more humbled , he can be a very good role player 3and D lockdown defence and 3 point open shots , all he needs is not getting bad offensive decisions
Cam Reddish will get good minutes with JJ
