His cross court and outlet passes look very good. I hope he can do more interior pocket passes on PnR. BTW, how many open looks he created for Jeenathan and got wasted.
We can all see his potential, but I was a little disappointed with most of his NBA performances last season. Really hope he can step it up this season. Better playmaking and shooting are the two glaring needs for the offense, so he could be exactly what we need.
Exactly how I see him. The odds of him being Steph Curry level are remote, but it's not impossible he could kinda split the difference between FVV's production and Curry's, and maybe make a few all-star teams in his prime. That would be basically his best-case outcome, to be clear.
Yeah I think he clearly has a higher baseline of talent than Fred for sure, I just remember listening to JJ Redick on his podcast and how much work he has to do to overcome the physical limitations and be good enough to compete. Reed seems more like that type of player by his measurables, and sure his shooting coming out of college was next level but so was Jabari's if we're being honest about it. I can definitely see him being a lot better than FVV overall, and he should project to be in the upper tier of shooters, I'm just not convinced that's enough for him to start being in all-star conversations. I could see him easily developing into a long time starter though for sure.
So 1 minute it's he played like **** because of the lack of talent around him and the next it's well, he has no choice but to play as such because of the lack of talent around him... Hmmmm But all was forgiven because of a 90 seconds stretch ? Get ready for the doghouse in year 2 under Ime... lol
I like this take. Most of the time he's looking to make the correct play, not take over the game. However, he has shown flashes where he has taken over. I don't think he will be someone who takes over games like Curry, but I do think we made the right pick at #3. And with KD on the team, I think he will get better looks and have a very productive season.
Yes. He played both, he was the team leader in assists and usually ran the offense, but also he shared the court with Rob Dillingham who was sort of a tiny ball dominant SG. Both came off the bench because Calipari is an idiot who promised the starting jobs to scrubs.
He is soooo very young, his ceiling is high. I expect him to blossom soon, but it may take longer. He needs some playing time.
Definitely the odds are VERY tiny of him being Steph Curry level, the fact that it's not outright zero is nice. He's more of a complimentary player, a pass first PG who looks to make the right play, but can burn teams with his shooting if they don't constantly keep a guy on him.
