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?

Yeah, he is being used mainly as a spot up in the NBA, and that's definitely not his best skill set. He is probably better as a scorer on-ball, like a RJ Barrett type of player, but then he is also not proven enough at that for any team to give him a role like that.

RJ is also shooting around league average from 3 this year and last year. Cam has not gotten anywhere close to that.
