    This guy has EVERYTHING a wing should have. He just needs to work on that shot. If he could consistently hit some corner threes, he'd be a Swiss army knife. Unfortunately, he can't... yet.

    Max Lewis should be watching how Cam gets after it on defense. That's him next year, but with a big bag of offense to go with it.

    Man just so weird that such a highly thought of player out of both high school and college has such a trash offensive game.

    He's a legit good defender but the jump shot is so broken. At least a guy like Vando has a smooth stroke, his jump shot looks like it's going to be way off the moment he starts his motion

    it's got to be in his head, right? again, i posted the scouting reports on him from early in his career, and he was projected as a shooter. if anything, he's probably progressed in surprising ways in all other facets of the game, but his shooting has been really bad.

    Absolutely, 100%. Because, as you already mentioned, he really improved in other aspects of the game. It's hard to explain otherwise.

    He should do the Ariza workout: shoot a million threes in the gym.

    Going to call him Corner Cam after tonight.

    Bron knew what he was doing, building that confidence

    Some really good 4th Q defense to boot.

    Best game that we've seen from Reddish today. How did learn to shoot corner 3's so fast?

    Salivating at the mouth for when we see Cam and Vando on the floor as our defensive wings.

    Incredible stuff from Cam. Keep it up!

    Fantastic game tonight from Cam!! Stoked for him. He could play a real role here with his D. Nice to see him find his rhythm from three.

    I’m so confused.
    If he can average in the high 30s from three, he will remain a starter.
    I’m not betting on it, but man would it be a great story.
    Kid gets his flowers for sure for tonight’s great performance.

    I like when players step up and make me eat my words. Great game. Kudos to Ham as well.

    He's legit a playoff caliber starting player if he can keep defenses honest. Doesn't have to be Ray Allen but a bit better than Aaron Gordon would be awesome

    No Bron. You were right to say these things. Passing it to Cam shooting 15% from the 3 was not the right call.

    The fact that he succeeded tonight doesn't negate the fact that he is a bad shooter and until he shoots consistently from 3 at around 35%, he is NEVER the player I'd like to be the one to take a game winning shot.
