Cam Reddish

Forward

6-foot-8, 218 pounds

College: Duke

Why Hawks fans may enjoy this pick: Reddish played at a big-time program under legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski. He is athletic and can play both ways. He also is able to facilitate to his teammates and drive to the basket. He has good instincts and knows how to steal the ball, too.

Why Hawks fans may not enjoy this pick: 

Some things he can work on are his midrange and 3-point shooting. At times, he can seem too timid and not as aggressive as he should be. Reddish’s ballhandling needs some work, too. He has the ability to get to the rim, but needs to work on finishing through contact.
