BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 53% of leagues
ANALYSIS: No, the Hawks won't ever win the Luka trade. BUT. The Hawks came out very nicely off that deal all things considered. One reason why (not the main one; read: Trae Young) is Cam Reddish progression and evolution as a player since he arrived in the L. Reddish, entering his third season as a pro, has improved on a yearly basis and although it's only been five games for him and the Hawks through Friday, things couldn't have looked better for Cameron.
Reddish, you won't believe this, has scored at least 17 points in four of his five games this season. Reddish is averaging 16.2 PPG so far when his career mark sits at a way lower 11.0. He's shooting more (12+ FGA), he's shooting better (45% from 37% in the past two seasons), he's shooting from longer distances (5 3PA), and he's scoring more freebies than ever before (82%).
And not happy enough with having solved the volume/efficiency shooting equation, he's also doing it on the boards (3.4 RPG) and the steals (1.2) departments on top of that. The turnovers are most definitely a concern, as he's lost the ball 11 times in five games, but the truth is that the 2.2 TOV average isn't that unreasonable when you consider Cam is getting to use 27%+ of the Hawks offensive possessions. Finding Reddish available in almost half of Yahoo leagues isn't going to sound like a joke not far from now, so take advantage of slow-to-catch-up GMs and get some shares of this man before it's too late.
