His acquisition from the Hawks last January in exchange for a future first-round pick seemed like a major mistake by team president Leon Rose. Now, that deal is begging to pay off. With Quentin Grimes a nonfactor due to a nagging left foot injury and Evan Fournier benched for ineffectiveness, Reddish has emerged \u2014 at least for the time being \u2014 as the Knicks\u2019 answer at shooting guard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s so talented. He can really score the ball, but he\u2019s showing he\u2019s [a] two-way [player] and he can lock up and defend, whether it\u2019s guards or wings,\u201d Julius Randle said. \u201cSo as long as he keeps doing that his value is amazing to us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Pistons_Knicks_Basketball_82910jpg-57322.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Cam Reddish's defense has earned him a role in the Knicks' lineup. \" class=\"wp-image-24701250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Pistons_Knicks_Basketball_82910jpg-57322.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Pistons_Knicks_Basketball_82910jpg-57322.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Pistons_Knicks_Basketball_82910jpg-57322.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Pistons_Knicks_Basketball_82910jpg-57322.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Cam Reddish\u2019s defense has earned him a role in the Knicks\u2019 lineup. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When Grimes was ruled out of the regular-season opener, it was assumed coach Tom Thibodeau would go with a nine-man rotation, particularly since Reddish struggled throughout the preseason. Instead, Thibodeau gave the former lottery pick a shot, and Reddish performed well, scoring 22 points in an overtime loss to the Grizzlies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But his offensive ability isn\u2019t what has earned Thibodeau\u2019s trust. Reddish\u2019s shot selection can still be iffy, though he has improved. Instead, it\u2019s his defense that has been eye-opening. He\u2019s defending with more discipline, taking fewer chances and moving his feet more. Part of that, Reddish said, is gaining familiarity with the Knicks\u2019 style under Thibodeau. After coming to New York last January, he really didn\u2019t get much practice time and only played sparingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say, comfort in the scheme,\u201d the 23-year-old Reddish said, when asked what has changed for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He has the best net rating of any of the Knicks\u2019 starters, at plus-2.8 per 100 possessions, and his fourth-quarter defense was instrumental in the two road wins. His 7-foot-1 wingspan makes it difficult to pass around or over him, and the 6-7 Reddish can defend multiple positions, offering needed versatility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s taking a lot of pride in it,\u201d Thibodeau said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With a grin, Reddish added: \u201cI don\u2019t want my man to score much, simple as that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/2022-11-13T201033Z_468510739_MT1USATODAY19427659_RTRMADP_3_NBA-OKLAHOMA-CITY-THUNDER-AT-NEW-YORK-KNI.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Cam Reddish\" class=\"wp-image-24701319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/2022-11-13T201033Z_468510739_MT1USATODAY19427659_RTRMADP_3_NBA-OKLAHOMA-CITY-THUNDER-AT-NEW-YORK-KNI.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/2022-11-13T201033Z_468510739_MT1USATODAY19427659_RTRMADP_3_NBA-OKLAHOMA-CITY-THUNDER-AT-NEW-YORK-KNI.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/2022-11-13T201033Z_468510739_MT1USATODAY19427659_RTRMADP_3_NBA-OKLAHOMA-CITY-THUNDER-AT-NEW-YORK-KNI.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/2022-11-13T201033Z_468510739_MT1USATODAY19427659_RTRMADP_3_NBA-OKLAHOMA-CITY-THUNDER-AT-NEW-YORK-KNI.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Cam Reddish feels more comfortable in the Knicks\u2019 defensive scheme this season. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A one-and-done standout at Duke, Reddish was drafted 10th overall by the Hawks in 2019. He always has been a tantalizing talent, a gifted wing who has shown brief glimpses of promise, but he never has started more than 34 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s in a season. Early on this year, Reddish is showcasing his potential. He is shooting a career-best 45.9 percent from the field, averaging 9.1 points, and has become another weapon in the open court in the Knicks\u2019 more uptempo offense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s a lot more in him, too,\u201d Thibodeau said of the free agent-to-be.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When that compliment was relayed to Reddish, he smiled and agreed. He\u2019s not putting up big offensive numbers yet. But he\u2019s carved out a role for himself with the Knicks by defending and playing his role, doing the little things that had previously held him back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all got to make sacrifices. That\u2019s the NBA for you, the best in the world,\u201d Reddish said. \u201cSo you got to make sacrifices if you want to win. Anybody can go out there and shoot a bunch of shots. Not everybody can go out there and win.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
