With the No. 10 overall pick, the Atlanta Hawks chose to overlook Cam Reddish's inefficient freshman season at Duke, where he shot 35.6 percent despite Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett commanding a ton of attention from opposing defenses.

Last year's problems are starting to look more legitimate than fluky.

Reddish has had an even tougher time so far in Atlanta, shooting 28.8 percent through his first 18 games. Erratic from deep in college, with no explosion or feel for finishing in traffic, the rookie wing's struggles have carried over, as he's shot only 21.2 percent on threes and 40.4 percent on attempts inside 10 feet.

While it's too early to write off Reddish as a useful NBA player down the road, it isn't too soon to suggest Atlanta likely regrets passing on Tyler Herro or P.J. Washington. Herro, who's averaging 14.4 points while shooting 40.4 percent from deep, would have given the Hawks another shot-maker next to Trae Young. Washington is shooting 43.9 percent from three and could have filled in for John Collins during his 25-game suspension.

The Hawks shouldn't have expected Reddish to come in and make an immediate impact. But he might have benefited from going to a more veteran team with an established winning culture.
