No one cares about it! The Lakers abandoned players can only sign with a weak Lithuanian League team?

According to European basketball media BasketNews reporter Donatas Urbanas, the striker Cam Reddish, who was previously in free agency, is expected to sign with Lithuanian League team BC Šiauliai, and he will also appear in the European arena for the first time in the new season. Urbanas also said that Reddish's contract also includes a jump option, and if he gets a contract from the NBA, the Champions League or other high-level teams, he can leave the team at any time.

Redish was born in September 1999 and is 26 years old, 201cm tall and weighs 98kg. He is a player from Duke University selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the 10th pick in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft. Although he ranked very well in the draft and was the top three top high school students in the United States in 2018, after coming to the NBA, Reddish never realized his talent. Whether it was the Hawks who chose him, or later in the New York Knicks, the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers, he was unable to exert his strength, and his performance was always very average. Therefore, he has also switched to various teams in recent seasons and has never been able to gain a foothold in a certain team.

In the NBA regular season last season, Reddish played 33 times in total for the Lakers, averaging 17.8 minutes per game, with averaging 3.2 points, 2 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1 steal, 0.3 blocks, and 0.4 turnovers and 1.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 40.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 27.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 61.5%. Reddish's performance at the start of last season was quite highlight, but as the season progressed, his performance was getting worse and worse, and he was also affected by injuries. Reddish was sent to the Charlotte Hornets by the team in a deal involving Mark Williams. Although the deal was not finally reached, Reddish was cut by the Lakers shortly after that, and he never returned to the NBA again.

This summer, Reddish participated in the Dallas Mavericks' mini training camp, but it received no attention, and no team was interested in him. In the end, he could only sign with Siolia, who had a winning rate of less than 40% in the Lithuanian League last season, which also shows that he could not even attract the interest of other teams in the European arena. The next new season is a very critical season for Reddish. If he cannot prove his strength in the Lithuanian League, what he will face is not whether he can return to the NBA, but whether he can continue to play.
