    Rockets will turn him into Bari 2.0 - high draft pick that’s the 5th option everytime he touches the court - which means he won’t get shots, will kill his aggressiveness and rhythm …

    Reed should be the number 1/2 option when he comes in - he’s a better shooter than anyone we have on bench, and Ime has to stop playing him with FVV cause then he really doesn’t get any shots

    The one where he passed up the open 3 to get it to Sengun for 3... :eek:

    to be fair, he doesn’t have that quick release yet, and Chet was bearing down on him. Sengun probably should’ve driven into the paint to get Chet off of Reed then kicked it back to Reed for an open 3

    Not ashamed to say I voted No on the poll when this thread came out.

    One of 36 that knew he would struggle.

    Steph Curry he isn't

    U figured he would contribute more as the 3rd pick but he's getting less mins and is putting up scrub numbers.

    Folks hyped Reed up too much, too soon.

    Agreed. Assinine overreactionary posts on miniscule sample when playing a rookie out of position. Reed still has a great potential.

    Reed is fine. His on ball D has been much better than I thought, especially after seeing the SL struggles there. He just needs to fly his shots fly. Not worried about him

    We don’t do any off ball movement with him. He should be doing the JJ/Curry type of plays to get good looks. It’s just sit at the three point line for a kick out off an iso or PnR

    Key Message for Reed:
    You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

    Reed passes on more open 3 pt shots than anyone on the team. Usually to get a more contested shot and/or from a worse shooter. If you would shoot it in a scrimmage or in summer league, shoot it in the game. Maybe he needs to go down to the G League to get some confidence.

    lmfao WHAT? Hahaha

    It’s Sengun’s fault for not handing Reed a wide open 3 on a silver platter? You can’t criticize him in the most minute way by suggesting it was a bad read (no pun) and bad decision?

    There’s a difference b/n rooting for Reed and simping for Reed.

    The poll wasn't whether or not he would struggle, it was whether or not you liked the pick. If you didn't like the pick, who did you think we should have selected at #3?

    so Reed will get there? The comparison is so off lol. I don’t know if our guys suck or it’s coaching.

    Reed can’t do well with this udoka made up offense. He will be Ortiz Red Sox when he’s off this team if we don’t use him correctly.
