The business of the NBA can be a difficult element of roster construction to navigate. Tough decisions are forced to be made by some teams and the Atlanta Hawks will soon have to face some of their own.
The Hawks face a situation where they have to make decision on who they are going to pay to keep long-term. Trae Young and John Collins have already received substantial contract extensions. Next up will be De’Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish—raising the possibility of one of their wings being moved in a trade.
With the No. 10 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Hawks selected Cam Reddish out of Duke. The 6-foot-8 wing with a plus wingspan had a lot of excitement surrounding his potential as a player entering his NBA career and that has only intensified as of late.
The previous two games Reddish has played are solid indicators of what he can accomplish. Against the Orlando Magic, he racked up a career-high 34 points on 11-of-23 (47.8%) and 6-of-10 (60%) from the perimeter while adding four rebounds and four assists to go along with. He scored 18 points the following outing.
