    He needs confidence so yeah it would help because he showed the most frustration out there if anyone of our squad. He was frustrated with his own play so yeah I’d like to see him get his mojo back. Honestly. He played and moved Jr Smith so that’s good as I think Jr smith was very talented and skilled. Jsut was a rock head

    It simply has to be The Taxman.

    Our guy looks just like interns at my office, with very little difference, those that aspire to be actual Tax Men (and women; we woke).

    He keeps up the steals might want to give him a nic like

    The Pickpocket

    The Stripper

    This 4th quarter film is what needs to be shown to a lot of these guys when they don't make a NBA roster.

    This game showed the limitations Cocaine Curry will have the in the NBA he can't be the all around dynamo he was in college because he is too short with Trex arms. He also can't get his shot off against NBA rotation players.

    He will have to adjust be more opportunistic in the NBA, he will have to depend on Sengun, JG or Amen to get him open and on defense he needs to watch film of FVV.

    He's done great with the steals though. The Pickpocket has 11 steals in 3 games.

    So you saying Cam going 1-15 in the summer league won't ever be a good shooter at the NBA level. Come on. I have no doubt Reed will do good, especially with more time and chemistry with seasoned players who know how to feed him when he's got an open 3. He puts great arc on the ball. He's just too good to discount before he gets some real mentoring and coaching. He's also a great ball stealer with those quick hands. Get nasty mouth guard pacifier chewing Curry's name out of his nic.

    I didnt even mention anything about Cam not sure what you are talking about there.

    As for RS yes he will be a great wide open shooter in the NBA I'm saying he will have trouble getting open on his own/creating his own shot if he can't effectively ISO vs SL fodder.

    Well your logic says Cam can't cut it in the NBA.

    Nate Williams really isn't an NBA player.

    Time to buy the dip on the Taxman!

    Seriously though, stop with the knee jerks. He’s going to be fine and has arguably been the best rookie in SL so far.

    LOL, I know, and he was 1-15 in the Summer league. That's why I said you can't say Reed wont be able to get his shot off against NBA rotational players. Cam has, and so will Reed. I have no doubt.
