4. Cam Reddish – 7/10

New York didn’t make the big moves that people expected during this past season, but one move the front office did make that will pay off big time was trading for RJ Barrett’s former Duke teammate, Cam Reddish.

He didn’t have that much of an impact in his short stint with the Knicks before a season-ending injury, but in patches, he showed why he can be a valuable player going forward, especially under a coach like Tom Thibodeau.

While it’s unlikely that Reddish will find himself a permanent spot in the starting lineup, he will be incredibly valuable to the team off the bench. With his versatility, we could be seeing a future Sixth Man of the Year in Reddish.

There’s also a chance that New York will involve Reddish in a deal for a big-time star, but given that the Knicks gave up assets to acquire him this past January, it’s hard not to see what New York sees, and that’s plenty of potential contributions during the upcoming season.
