Atlanta Hawks: Ranking the 5 best defenders on the roster
Atlanta Hawks – Cam Reddish – Guard/Forward
One of the bright spots in the Atlanta Hawks’ future will surely be former Duke superstar Cam Reddish, who will look to have a breakout year this season. Reddish had an up and down season offensively last year, which is to expected of a rookie, but definitely showed that he’s a more than capable defender.
While fighting with De’Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic for playing time this season, Reddish knows that his defense will do a lot to keep him on the floor for head coach Lloyd Pierce.
I asked Cam Reddish about being more aggressive on defense.

"I think I have the potential to be an All-NBA defender, so I'm doing my best to be who I think I am."
We’ll look to see Cam make a big leap this year and Atlanta Hawks fans should be very excited about how 6-8 Cam Reddish looks so far this preseason. He’ll be tasked with providing offense of course, but also for covering for Trae Young on the defensive end when they share the floor together.
