    You are like 8 mos too late brother I got converted to Reedism long ago. Also I never had Knecht over Reed I had Castle and Risacher over Reed. Even if I was a fan Knecht was 23 taking him no 3 was way too high.

    He's pretty terrible... but in fairness he's not even 21 yet.

    I wouldn't mind him coming off the bench to provide some spacing

    I could watch these all day! Such a sweet stroke and his range is insane. Glad to see him finally playing "free" and feeling it.

    On the first long distance one the net doesn't move. On the others its a clean swish. Just fantastic to watch.

    I'm not optimistic at all about next year. Ime is gonna go right back to starting Fred and relegate Reed to a minor bench role.

    This guy uses Reed's form to teach young folks about shooting mechanics.

    Exactly. Ime and FVV are Reed’s kryptomite.

    I still like Reed coming off the bench as a 6th man this season. Against the Knicks, you saw the thesis of the 2025 Rockets… I don’t expect us to be that hot from 3… but you can see how being even league average opens so much up.

    The roster needs balance.

    I thought benching Reed for the Knicks was a curious call but it worked out. I do think, based on inconsistency shooting the ball and leaving the ball short, that he still struggles with endurance especially on B2B.

    An offball running Reed will have huge gravity but you don’t move off ball in ime brand offense.
