Knicks, Reddish in starting rotation thanks to his defense

Cam Reddish became a starter for the Knicks. Especially in the last three games Reddish has shown the best of his repertoire. But what convinced Tom Thibodeau to put him in the starting rotation is his defense.
Reddish has what it takes to be the ideal wing defender in the modern NBA.
Reddish have averaged no less than 33 minutes in their last three games.
Reddish poured 19 points against the Jazz and his defense helped limit Jordan Clarkson to 15 points on 5-of-16 shooting. He added a theft and a block.
Reddish has now hit five straight games with a defensive stat.
The Knicks may regret not renewing his contract in the offseason.
