    I can see Aaron getting some spot minutes for his shooting, but I think he'll be firmly planted behind Reed in the rotation.


    Fred
    KD
    Amen
    Jabari
    Sengun

    Reed
    DFS
    Tari
    Adams or Capela

    Ime doesn't usually go into 10 man rotations so I don't think Holiday will get regular minutes, but we'll see...

    I'm currently on a very delayed flight with Reed and the entire summer league roster.

    Spoke to him and N'Faly earlier

    Ask him if he expects to get all of the backup guard minutes.

    Nothing to spill

    They were on my same flight (I am here for a business meeting) to Las Vegas.

    I'm a big fan think he will breakout

    If you want a little "inside info" it seems like the guys all look up to him

    Thanks for sharing, but you’re doing it wrong. You are supposed to make some very vague riddles that imply some huge news if read one way, but which actually say and mean nothing so you can disavow it later.

    Seriously, it is good if they look up to him. Maybe he will be more confident - his timidity and insecurity was his number one issue last year.

    If he can learn to get his shot off against Amen, the rest of the NBA will feel like he's playing against the junior varsity squad. The coaching staff knows this right? "Reed meet Amen. Amen meet Reed. Now play one on one for the next hour!"

    why? Many of them have the same credentials as he does other than being a lottery pick. Some of them have had more experience than him either through g league, NBA, or international play.

    Dante was first team PAC-12 and all defensive team
    Nate Williams first team MAC. 3 yr NBA experience
    Moses Brown McDonald’s All American and has been in the league 5 years

    Everyone has earned the right to be here. Reed isn’t special and if he thinks he is then that’s an entitled and arrogant attitude that sets him up for failure. I don’t think he thinks he’s special and I’m glad he doesn’t seem this way.

    It might teach him that some guys are just too tall and too athletic to get a shot off of. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a confidence stuffer. If Amen is really trying he probably skunks him game after game. He was thrown to the Wolves right when he came into the league and it destroyed his confidence. He got sent to the G-league and he got his shooting confidence back. He needs to walk before he can run.
