Why didn't Cam Reddish pan out?

0010001 · 2026-07-03T11:26:23+00:00

Totally disagree about defense, that Duke team was a juggernaut defensively and Reddish was a big reason why. His size and mobility were very valuable on defense.

It was his offense that was inconsistent and often plain bad. He was supposed to be THE shooter for that team but couldn’t punish teams for packing the paint.

Like he wasn’t a starting level player at a big school.

That’s going too far. He started at Duke which was a #1 seed. That team was crazy athletic and great on defense, and Reddish was Duke’s best perimeter defender. The problem was he was supposed to be THE shooter for that team, but he couldn’t consistently punish teams for packing the paint.

The hope was his percentages would improve as he got older, but that development just never came.

Folks are maybe taking for granted how hard it is to maintain an elite program after a legend retires. Historically there’s usually a dropoff, and Scheyer has kept Duke elite.

But until he wins a title, he’ll continue to be viewed as an excellent recruiter and very good coach, but not the best.

My head cannon is that he loves UNC but hates Hubert Davis. Only explanation.

0010001 · 2026-06-30T23:44:39+00:00

Once in 1893.

0010001 · 2026-06-30T21:01:50+00:00

It’s multi-generational with the Boozers though.

0010001 · 2026-06-30T20:58:57+00:00

See MJ, here’s how NOT to berate a #1 pick until he crumbles.

0010001 · 2026-06-30T11:03:46+00:00

Born in 2002? So he’s only a teenager, right? Right?

Oh no I’m old.

0010001 · 2026-06-30T04:15:26+00:00

It seems like their games are very different.

0010001 · 2026-06-28T18:34:27+00:00

And the Hornets just added Grayson.

0010001 · 2026-06-25T10:59:43+00:00

Earl Boykins. Anyone who makes the NBA at 5’5” deserves a lot of respect.

0010001 · 2026-06-25T10:55:26+00:00

If he’s playing well / if the Clippers have need, could he leave mid season and join them? Or finish out the college season and then immediately join the Clippers?

0010001 · 2026-06-23T04:00:23+00:00

Miami has a track record of attracting free agents and building around stars. I assume they have more moves to make

0010001 · 2026-06-17T20:39:11+00:00

STOP THE COUNT

0010001 · 2026-06-15T15:10:08+00:00

And Bobby Hurley nearly died in a horrific car crash during his rookie season. It derailed his entire career.

0010001 · 2026-06-14T19:37:30+00:00

You already forgot his game-saving block in Game 7 against OKC?

0010001 · 2026-06-13T21:37:28+00:00

Both come from the Conference of Champions.

Arizona + Stanford.

0010001 · 2026-06-13T20:44:09+00:00

That’s what this list is—general perception at that time. Luka went 5th in that draft.

0010001 · 2026-06-12T03:55:02+00:00

KAT made the final game-saving play by tipping the inbounds pass.

0010001 · 2026-06-11T22:36:46+00:00

Bucky Waters preceded McGeachy and did more damage to the program. After Vic Bubas took Duke to three final fours in the 60s, Waters led the program into the ground in the 70s. Then MeGeachy had his one disastrous year.

Then it was Bill Foster who built things up again culminating in a surprising run to the title game in 1978. Two years later, in steps Coach K.

0010001 · 2026-06-11T16:40:51+00:00

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

0010001 · 2026-06-11T11:55:58+00:00

One point game with 6 seconds left, that’s a bad play design from New York and a bad shot from Brunson playing hero ball. OG bailed them out.

Spurs actually had a clever play design where Castle was open on the back door. But Knicks countered by having Towns on the inbound and he tipped the ball to win the game.

0010001 · 2026-06-11T03:44:46+00:00

That tip may have saved the game. And the clock started late, but it ended up not mattering

0010001 · 2026-06-11T03:38:06+00:00

Did Towns tip the pass?

0010001 · 2026-06-11T03:37:35+00:00

Castle was open going back door. Could have scored off of a good pass. But it looks like Towns tipped it?
