Arrived in New York from Atlanta in mid-January, Cam Reddish will he integrate for good the rotation of his coach Tom Thibodeau in the coming season?
The role of the former Duke player is a subject that intrigues within the “fanbase” of the Knicks, who ultimately still have not had the opportunity to see him in action for a long time, since his season ended prematurely. in March.
In any case, the principal concerned, whose supposed desires from elsewhere were relayed at the beginning of the month without these being really confirmed later, is not for the moment able to give information to about this, because there is simply none.
” It’s a good question. I’m still in the clarification phase on this. » said Cam Reddish this Wednesday, on the occasion of the first day of the “training camp” of the Knicks. ” I’m still trying to find my place. I am ready to do anything to contribute to the victory. Whatever the role, I will accommodate myself to it. »
Tom Thibodeau’s speech does not help to see clearly
Last season, the coach made it clear to Cam Reddish that nothing would be offered to him, before then more or less confirming that he was not counting on him. In the end, the former Hawk had managed to make his way through the rotation well, as he played almost 15 minutes per game, in 15 appearances, before getting injured.
Interesting beginnings but difficult to pin down as “Thibs” is definitely still not clear on this subject.
” The players will have to deserve what we will give them advanced a Tom Thibodeau who was not particularly expansive or inspired. ” We have a good squad depth. I can’t tell you right now who’s in the rotation and who’s not. It will be on merit. And if a player is not in the rotation at first, that does not mean that his situation is not likely to change. »
The vagueness therefore remains for Cam Reddish, at least until the opening of the season. In the meantime, he keeps his foot on the accelerator in training, in the hope that his situation will be unblocked for good.
” I control what I can control. Game time is not my responsibility. Me, I come, I do my job and I work hard, every day. But I am available, I am in good health. So we’ll see what happens. “.
