    You were contesting me saying he played ok and told me I didnt watch the game? Now you literally just wrote a bunch of BS? Are you just arguing for the sake of it? If you arent saying he played like a star why did you even reply to my post?

    Also 6/0/2 is definitely mediocre. Not sure how to break it to you maybe you should look at bench players who actually produce during a game.

    If we’re gonna play him 6 mins might as well send him to the G-League to hoist 30 shots per game.

    I'm coming around to the g-league idea. I think his confidence has taken a hit. He'd gain more experience as a primary ball handler and creator which would help him contribute. Getting two looks and then hitting the bench isn't doing anything for him or the team.

    I can feel his confidence is not there yet.He only shoots 2 3p a game.He's just getting used to the league.

    4-17 from deep counting preseason and regular season

    he regularly passes up shots when he has a little bit of daylight

    he has role player “I was the 30th pick in the draft” mentality

    this man was a #3 overall pick, play like it

    I agree. Let Holiday hold his place until he’s ready to be contributor

    He’s a young rookie that looks like a young rookie. I’m not worried about Reed. If he still looks lost and tentative by season’s end I’ll worry, but not 3 games in.

    It has only been three games, but to be fair I'd like him to stay aggressive. Each game he's becoming a little bit more confident to his credit.

    Bur yes, if he continues the trend 20+ games in, perhaps dominating in the G league would be good for his rookie development.

    Reed's problem is, that his team wants to win instead of developing a rookie. So far he didn't do anything wrong in my oppinion. He played within the game, didn't force anything and didn't really do mistakes. That also resulted in him taking a back seat whenever he is on the court. If he was our rookie 2 years ago, he would average 30 minutes a game and corresponding stats. Now he is kinda getting the Amen treatment. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he is in the g-league before long and then slowly getting more minutes until the end of the season.

    People already forgetting what a slow start Amen and Cam had last year.

    They got the GLeague treatment. RS should be put in GLeague as well till he starts producing.
