So this didn’t take long to find some footage of cam and how he was one of the bottom 5 nba players in the league his rookie year. Which is why he was traded for knox. Some of us get caught up in trades and are quick to give cam high expectations without evidence. This article supports my low expectations of cam right now but I still see great potential as a 3 and D player. I also believe we got cam at the right time where things are starting to click for him.

This for you rookie. Since my eye test isn’t enough for you. He’s clearly a low risk project. This is not a home room move but a solid trade that may have some long term benefits.

I saw him Some this year. Totally different than rookie or last year. A bit streaky but I was seeing effort. I think he needs a change of scenery and a chance to touch the ball

You watched some footage of Cam in his rookie year and you drew some conclusions about a trade of him that happened near 2 years later? What?

I think Reddish might be a bust but I like that his PER has improved this year, and I like that he is 5th in the NBA in FT%. I think there is legitimate reason to see potential, as opposed to the guy we gave up

He’s essentially a role player at this point. His playing time will be determined by his defense and efficiency. If he gives neither of those 2 then I am pretty sure Thibs will be asking “and I’m going to f’ this up for what reason?”

Not saying I dislike the trade though because I do actually like it. It’s a lateral trade at this point though. We need to see Cam make a commitment to defense and his role.

Ah yeah……if u read the article they do a good job of detailing cams development from his rookie year until now. That’s why I included the link remove any mid interpretations. The link spells it out. I really should’ve have said anything. The article says it all. My conclusions was based on my own eye test. The article fills in the holes from rookie to now.

The article is dated April 15, 2020. It does not detail his development from his rookie year until now. You are making that up. It is a puff piece about his rookie year on a losing team

The Knicks FO can't pull a Ben Simmons trade ..
So the best they could do was get Cam Reddish, and hope/pray Cam could for-fill Bullocks meshing role-performance alongside RJ & Randle .. Good Luck lol

This is what I thought. Cam's high FT% is a strong indicator that he can keep improving his 3% as well.

Anyway comparing Knox to Cam has to Gtfotukf. Knox peaked as a player in November of his rookie year. Cam has had 2 30 point games this month and big playoff minutes.

Reddish still has a lot of value so the only way this makes sense to me is if Atlanta was desperate for cheap assets. Knox expires this year and there's no cost to the pick. Atlanta is loading up to make another trade- probably Collins to an over the cap team with increasing salary going forward.

Great trade for New York.

There should be no concerns about salary and minutes. Burks will start at PG going forward. Cam will take his place off the bench.

Burks/ IQ
Fournier/ Grimes
RJ/ Reddish
Randle/ Obi
Robinson/ Noel

You asked for more than a few college games. U didn’t like my knowledge. U didn’t like the authors knowledge. Sounds like your at a dead end buddy. Time to bark up another tree. If you expecting me to go through every single game of cam for his entire 3 year career, good luck with that. Got more things to worry about than the 10th player on a 9 man rotation.

The truth on where cam is and where he is projected to be will be revealed eventually. Give it time young man. Cam appears to be a nice 3 and D player. Knox was becoming a 3 and D player. How about we enjoy the new addition and be merry. If you want to call people you don’t know lazy, then have at it. But believe me, I might not watch every atl game or any atl game from beginning to end. But I definitely watch every knick game.

The knicks think that Cam still has alot of untapped potential the same goes to the 2-3 other teams that were trying to get him. Its now on the coaching staff( Johnny Bryant and Kenny Payne) as well as thibs to help Cam reach his potential. Hopefully the work ethic of the young core brings Reddish to the fold and not alienate him.

Hopefully Thibbs can bring out his full defensive potential. The kid is a legit 6-8 with arms longer than Frank’s. He could be just what we need to get our defense back into the top-5. Plus, he is a decent offensive player who just needs to learn his spots on the floor and what he wants to do on offense. He is better than Knox on offense (better handle) and defense. Solid trade for the Knicks.

After doing a little more digging, I noticed cam hasn’t played a full season in his first 2 years. I’m hoping that’s not all due to injuries. He definitely missed some games this year with a non surgical Achilles injury and had knee problems before that. But when he played, he got more minutes than knox except for knox first year in 2018. I now see why both teams like this trade. Based on stats alone, it’s clear that knox offensive production dropped as his mins dropped. But when u zoom in on the games he was hot, he appears to have the same offensive potential, which is what atl is banking on. And knox doesn’t have the same history of injuries. He’s been relatively healthy.

But the eye test see exactly what u guys are talking about. Cam looks like a more natural 3 level scorer and knox is a catch and shoot scorer, with a slower release and doesn’t look as natural going to the rim as cam. But I agree with your assessment on cams handles and offensive moves look more natural, without a doubt. Add in his defensive instincts and this is a great addition. Let’s hope his injury bug is behind him. Sometimes when u are not in a situation u would like, injury’s occur. He’s now out of atl which is what he wanted and playing under the broadway lights where his game actually fits. I’m hoping hanging with RJ, and this coaching staff can build up some lower body strength and stay relatively healthy. I’ve had an Achilles injury on both calves and that’s a career ending injury if you don’t put in the work. But a non surgical procedure takes longer to recover than surgery. So we gotta be patient with him this year. I’m confident that cam is in the right situation now. And a second chance is something he needs.
