Rich Paul Recasts Cam Reddish’s NBA Career as Shaped by Pressure and Circumstance

The agent contends Reddish needed early-career stability to develop.

Overview

  • Paul shared his view on the Game Over show released Jan. 1, saying Reddish’s trajectory reflected mental pressure, draft dynamics and environment rather than a lack of ability.
  • He said Reddish’s role at Duke behind Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett affected confidence in ways that carried into the pros.
  • Paul highlighted the 2019 draft slide from projected top five to No. 10 and landing in Atlanta after the Hawks took De’Andre Hunter at No. 4, creating overlap at the same position and early churn.
  • Across six NBA seasons with the Hawks, Knicks, Trail Blazers and Lakers, Reddish logged 254 games with averages of 8.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 39.8% shooting and 32.2% from three.
  • After finishing his NBA run with the Lakers in 2024–25, Reddish continued his career with BC Šiauliai in Lithuania’s top league.
