Not sure why Cam Reddish at vet min is bad. Only Lakers fans could find fault in that. 6’8 220 23 years old. Worth a risk. _________________ You mystified at what exists inside
Everything I've heard about Cam Reddish is he's abjectly awful. But I think we shouldn't understate what can click for a young guy playing next to the GOAT (to this generation of players) and another all-NBA guy. Especially when he is coached by the ultimate player's coach in terms of getting buy in (Westbrook off the bench!) and a preeminent player development coach (Handy).
Getting him for the min is a move I can stand behind. I would hate a signing like Eric Gordon way more, because coaches tend to overplay washed up has beens due to their past performance.

I would've much preferred Yuta Watanabe over Reddish. Yuta shot 44.4 percent from 3-point range last season and 49.1 percent overall. But maybe he didn't want to join the Lakers. Did Pelinka even try to sign him? _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

Phoenix could offer him a lot more minutes. He probably wouldn’t get much PT here. Same with Reddish. _________________ 14-5-3-12

Everything I see in Cam’s style of play is that of a two guard. Loves to shoot from outside, has a decent handle for 6’8”, not a player that plays with strength. Of course, shooting has always been an issue. I truly hope the Lakers see him as a project that gets with Handy and Jent to try and become a 2 guard that can give the Lakers a crazy jumbo wing look. _________________ Darvin

I think that if you look at fans from his previous stops you would realize that it isn’t only Laker fans. He is a break glass in case of emergency player, the signing isn’t worth loving or hating. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
As a 21 year old he did ball out on offense and defense in the Eastern Conference Finals in the 4 games after he got back from his injury suffered in that season. Was a pretty big stage to play your best ball. I think he is going to be good for us. _________________ Previously LBJ23

We finally got him!
I been following him since he was at Duke. Unique physical talent. Inconsistent but the talent is there. I hope he soaks up everything Bron teaches him.
And I bet Coach Handy is licking his chops to work with this kid. I'm glad he's finally in LA.
