New York Knicks Receive: F/C Jeff Green, 2023 Second-Round Pick (DEN)
Denver Nuggets Receive: G/F Cam Reddish
With that said, Reddish is far from the first elite prospect not to translate at the NBA level. He joins a long line of players we refer to as “busts”.
Frankly, it isn’t fair. Players like Reddish didn’t ask to be so highly touted. It’s fair to assume that if he could play better basketball, he would.
At the same time, fans are justified in feeling frustrated when a lottery pick doesn’t pan out. After all, their team made a substantial investment in that player.
When they don’t justify it, it sets the whole organization back.

When that player gets moved, only to find success with another franchise, it only compounds the frustration. Why couldn’t you do that when we had you?
Could Reddish have Hawks and Knicks fans asking themselves that very question as a Nugget?
