    While I do agree that last season Reed didn’t deserve to get limited play time, which definitely held back his development as a rookie, I think that this year he would have gotten his minutes even with healthy Fred. After all, Stone didn’t make any moves this summer to sign a backup pg, because they built on Reed’s role off the bench. But Fred’s injury definitely accelerated Reed’s development.

    Last year - Draymond would start chirping at Jalen to get him off his game & it worked. Called him out for his nails, his girl etc.

    Reed is growing up in front of our eyes. I admit I was skeptical of him until he made the corner 3 last season with Kawhi Leonard all over him.

    I'm really happy to see his progress. Go Reed! Go Houston Rockets!

    This new and improved version of Reed is exceeding all of my expectations. More aggressive on both ends, hitting shots, handling the ball well with hesitation moves and the ability to get out of traps. Perfect fit on this team too.

    On paper Reed/Amen/Tari/Jabari/Alperen sounds like a great core group to build around.

    31 points on 25 shots is a bit inefficient but I can see the improvement. One step at a time.

    Yes! I'm enjoying seeing a skilled and talented player adapt to the speed and mentality of the NBA... then progress and progress. You don't see that as much as you would think. Reed is about to be one of the big stars in this league. I liked Steve Nash but man Reed brings defense and more athleticism.
