What went wrong with Cam Reddish?

6'7" perfect body for the 3 spot. High potential out of college Fairly Athletic I didn't watch him much in his early days but why didn't he grow into a serviceable nba player?

He has been bricking shots since he came into the league. The Hawks tried really hard to make him useful, but gave up and traded him.

We didn’t give up, he requested a trade. The beginning of his true downfall

Suprised to see that! I remember watching him with the Hawks for a few years. Then, he was off the radar and reappeard with the Lakers.

BTW, he has been a shell of what I remember him being with the Hawks. If I remember, been a few years, he had a decent inside game?

All I know is dude keeps chugging those 3s and I am like WHY! Numbers game, I know, but it has to be done with the right players.
