NBA execs monitoring Cam Reddish’s availability

Cam Reddish was available on the trade market at the trade deadline and around the draft, multiple NBA executives told HoopsHype. Heading into the season, rival executives are monitoring his availability. “They always say he’s the most talented player on their roster, it’s just that he doesn’t always put it together,” one NBA executive told HoopsHype. “I’m not sure if he ever will. I like him. I think if he gets in the right situation, he could turn out to be a starting-level player because he can defend multiple positions and he can create any shot he wants. It’s just a matter of his mental approach and getting to the right situation where they know how to get the most out of him.”

During training camp, I asked John Collins what a healthy De’Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish would mean for the Hawks defense.
“It’s scary,” he said.
Yes, it’s just one game, but Collins’ prediction looks to be right on the money:

Nate McMillan said today the Hawks’ goal is to have at least 25 assists per game this season.
They had 31 last night: Young (14), Collins (3), Wright (3), Huerter (2), Bogdanovic (2), Dieng (2), Hunter (1), Reddish (1), TLC (1), Cooper (1), Hill (1) – 1:53 PM

Alan Hahn @alanhahn
The @Jaryd Wilson depth is Kevin Huerter and a whole LOT of Cam Reddish. That kid is a legit starter coming off the bench. Hawks are so good at finding the weak link of your defense. Last night it seemed like it was Luka. 🐠

Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Hawks went to the East finals a year ago despite recent top-10 picks De’Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish missing most of the season due to injuries. Both those dudes made major impacts in season-opening rout of Mavs. ATL could be really good for a long time. – 1:08 AM

“I thought he played a beautiful game… Tonight he showed he can play on both sides of the floor,” Nate McMillan says of Cam Reddish – 9:58 PM

Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
An absolute drubbing from the Hawks. They win 113-87 over the Mavericks and are now 1-0. Mavs finished scoring under 1 point per possession. Disgusting offense.
Reddish: 20, 7/15 FG
Young: 19/14, 6/16 FG
Collins: 16/9, 7/11 FG – 9:42 PM

Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Rushed some shots early, but Cam Reddish leads the Hawks with 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-4 from 3, 3-3 FT).
Also has three rebounds, one steal and an assist. – 9:33 PM

Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
I should’ve put money on Reddish being MVP this year, apparently – 9:31 PM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Cam Reddish has 20 points. – 9:30 PM

Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Hawks will take a 22-point lead on the Mavericks into the fourth quarter, 86-64.
This has been an impressive defensive performance so far. Hunter has led the way, but Collins, Capela,
Reddish, several guys are contributing. – 9:14 PM

Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Hawks up 86-64 at the end of the third. Shooting 50 percent from the floor.

Capela: 12/14, 6/6 FG – 9:14 PM

Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Rough 1st half, Mavs shoot just 32%, Hawks a little longer and more aggressive. ATL 51-44. Difference right now the play of Reddish & Huerter for ATL as they combined for 18 off the bench. Hardaway 11, KP 9 for Mavs. Both Luka and Young with just 7. 2nd half soon @theeagledallas8:35 PM

Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
HALFTIME: Hawks 51, Mavericks 44

Cam Reddish has played 2 minutes. He is tied for the most field goal attempts on the team so far. – 7:48 PM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Cam Reddish is the first sub. During intros, it appeared that he had on a fairly substantial back support. – 7:45 PM

More on this storyline

One of the executives who spoke with HoopsHype believes a team would be willing to give up a protected lottery pick for Reddish. -via HoopsHype / October 24, 2021

Keep an eye on Detroit and Memphis. Both teams have too many guaranteed contracts. They need to fix that. Sources say Grizzlies small forwards Dillon Brooks and Kyle Anderson are available for the right price. The Pistons are expected to look at dumping either Jahlil Okafor or 2019 No. 15 pick Sekou Doumbouya. Atlanta’s Cam Reddish has been a Cleveland front-office favorite since the 2019 draft. They’ve been in contact with Atlanta about him — even though the price remains high. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / August 22, 2021

The Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers had exploratory talks surrounding a trade centered on Cam Reddish and the 20th pick for the 13th pick, league sources told HoopsHype. -via HoopsHype / July 29, 2021
