Cam Reddish To Play In G League

Former NBA lottery pick Cam Reddish is headed to the G League, sources tell Marc Stein of the Stein Line (Twitter link).

According to Stein, Reddish has signed a G League contract. If he were to go unclaimed on waivers, the 6’7″ wing would enter the available player pool, which would give any NBAGL team the ability to add him to its roster.

The 10th overall pick in the 2019 draft, Reddish spent six years in the NBA, playing for the Hawks, Knicks, Trail Blazers, and Lakers. However, the former Duke Blue Devil struggled to develop into a reliable offensive threat during that time, averaging 8.5 points per game on .398/.322/.821 shooting in 254 total outings (116 starts).

After being waived by the Lakers in March, Reddish failed to catch on with an NBA team over the summer and signed with BC Šiauliai in September. Roughly three months later, he officially left the Lithuanian club and returned to the U.S. for personal reasons.

In nine appearances in the Lithuanian Basketball League this season, Reddish averaged 14.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per contest.

Reddish is still just 26 years old and has shown upside as a wing defender, so he could earn another shot in the NBA in the second half of this season if he performs well in the G League.
