I feel like we try to use this logic on every reclamation project. Some work, and some don't.

That is true but can you think of any other player better than Dame at it? Cam has the talent, sounds like he needs to mature a little. Dame and Chauncey both could be helpful.

Maturity might help him use his physical gifts on defense more, but what else can he do? He doesn’t dribble well, or shoot well, or anything well.

Shae looks more polished as a scorer as a rookie than Cam does four years in, imo.

You watch SS all the time. Are you telling me you have watched a lot of Reddish? This is a tough one, Dame says he can shoot the ball and you say he can't. I am really torn on who to believe........

Dame also said he’s a legit 6’8 and his combine measurements say 6’6.5 without shoes. So believe what you like lol.

Whether or not I watch him enough, the percentages say he’s below average shooting the 3 at 32.3%.

Dame also mentioned him being touted out of HS and went to Duke. So Dame is really talking about him reputation-wise. Yes, anyone who’s followed the NBA and college basketball knows he has the reputation of being a good shooter. The numbers just say different. But wtf do I know.

Hope I’m wrong. I have no desire to be right about this if he’s on our team. I’m just being a realist though.

Just so we're clear, in the NBA 6'6.5" is a legit 6'8" because those dudes wear shoes on the court and round up. They consider a dude that is 6'7.5" in shoes to be a legit 6'8" guy, just like they consider anyone who is over 6'11" in shoes a true 7 footer.

The thing about Cam's shot is that it isn't broken, it's really nice actually so when a shooter like Dame sees that he probably thinks the same thing he does about Cam's defense, that if this dude with a nice looking shot, with all of that length and athleticism learned how to focus, he would be great at all of those things. Maybe Dame is wrong but wtf does he know???????
 
So Ant is untouchable, just like CJ was, and Blazers looking for busts to fix. Could it be Olshey is still there?

Who said ant was untouchable? Do you have a link with verifiable and vetted sources?
 
I follow him at Duke I really liked him there. Problem is sometimes it don't translate over to the pro's. But I am on Dame on this this kid haven't found a place to play yet. He some really good games at Atlanta but still didn't get playing time to excel there and New York that coach run his starters in the ground due he only goes 8-9 player deep. I think Portland a good place him because Billups is not afraid to play his young guys plus this Cam should help with bench scoring.
 
That was a really interesting video on Cam Reddish. I hadn't taken Thibs into account. it seems to me that Josh Hart is the perfect Thibs guy, hard-nosed, defense first, does the little things, etc. I also agree about the one-way door into Thibs' doghouse. You go in, and you don't get out. Hart also fits into their rotation perfectly, so they're overpaying a bit for fit, while we take a flier on a high-ceiling guy at a position of need.

In the season when Reddish actually shot a lot of threes, he made 38%.

I don't think the issue with Reddish is his talent. And that issue describes pretty much every failed lottery pick ever.

Joe sucks. We are undefeated since the trade.

Maybe that's because Reddish hasn't actually played yet. Get him on the court and watch the losses pile up!!
 
what I'd wonder is if Reddish does have some hidden skills that just need development and guidance is if Billups is the coach that can be the developer
 
I've watched Anfernee blossom, beginning to see Watford and Sharpe blossom....the lid is starting to crack open on Jabari Walker. For clarity, Im talking about smart basketball.

Can't wait to see this kid get there as well.
