Cam Reddish

Cam Reddish was another blink and you miss it Blazer. He appeared in just 20 games in Portland to end last season and played some of the best basketball of his career. Reddish and Lillard didn't spend much time on the court together, but perhaps they could reunite in Milwaukee to give it another try.

It's no secret that stocking up on wings will be a priority for the Bucks this off-season. Reddish could add more depth at the position, giving the Bucks a lengthy, 6-foot-8 forward who has shown signs of two-way potential throughout his career. At 24, he's still young and could make for a nice addition to the younger core of Andre Jackson Jr. and MarJon Beauchamp, among other Bucks.

Milwaukee has indeed expressed interest in Reddish before, so it wouldn't be surprising if they were to kick the tires on him. However, to do so, the young forward would have to decline his player option with the Los Angeles Lakers, which is worth close to the minimum. If the forward wants a change of scenery, perhaps he could do so to test the market.

He's not the most desirable target, but for a Bucks team that will be seeking as much help defensively as they can get, the front office can't be too picky. Even if it's merely for depth on the wing, something the Bucks haven't had much of over the years, targeting Reddish would be low-risk.
