On September 11th, Beijing time, European basketball reporter Donatas Urbonas reported that former Lakers player Reddish will leave the NBA and join Lithuanian club BC Siauliai. Reddish's new contract includes an NBA opt-out clause, allowing him to leave BC Siauliai at any time if he receives an NBA contract next season.

BC Siauliai head coach Darius Songaila said, "It's hard to say why Reddish's NBA career has stalled. His athleticism and talent are absolutely top-notch, and we have no doubt he will fit in here!" On March 28th of this year, the Lakers waived Reddish to make Goodwin's contract permanent, and he has been out of work since then.

Reddish, born on September 1, 1999, just turned 26. Last season, Reddish played in 33 regular-season games for the Lakers, starting eight of them. He averaged 17.8 minutes per game, scoring only 3.2 points, 2 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and 1 steal, with shooting percentages of 40.4%, 27.7%, and 61.5%. His scoring, rebounding, and assists averages were all career lows.

Why did Reddish leave the NBA at such a young age? It's simple: his offense was too poor. In the 2024-25 season, the Lakers were outscored by 8.4 points per 100 possessions with Reddish on the court. The NBA is currently lacking 3-and-D forwards. Reddish can defend, but he lacks shooting ability. More than two months into the free agency period, no NBA team has signed him.

Reddish was ranked third in the nation in high school, behind only Zion and Barrett. In the summer of 2018, the three of them joined Duke University, and Reddish was the most affected. In the 2018-19 season at Duke University, Reddish averaged 13.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game, shooting only 35.6%.

In the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion was selected first overall, Barrett third, and Reddish was selected 10th overall by the Atlanta Hawks. Throughout his NBA career, Reddish played in 254 regular-season games, starting 116 of them. He averaged 8.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1 steal in 23.1 minutes per game, with shooting percentages of 39.8%, 32.2%, and 82.1%.

At 26, he's not considered old. Do you think Reddish can still play in the NBA?
