52 games is virtually no nba sample size? lol Next year its gonna be Reed's 3rd month and the year after his 4rth month. Is Reed playing on dog years or something? He'll retire a decade from now and according to you he only played for 9 months and wasnt even given a full year worth of chances. You cant even pick out half a dozen games as Reed only had 3 good games last year and 1 game this year so you are still 2 games short. The cope is unreal. Castle tonight: 21/8/6/4/1, 7/12 FG 2/4 3 pt. No sugar coating, no BS about mins played, just someone who balls on a nightly basis with no excuses.
Jalen shot 34% from 3 pt which is literally the same as Reed. I guess Reed cant shoot 3s as well and finishes much worse than Jalen in the paint as well with that putrid 36% FG
4th year 34% 8 attempts per game. That's after a total over 300 games played and started 10K minutes 2200 attempts. But you crying and whining that Reed is shooting 36% from behind the arc 4 gtames in his second year at 5 attempts per game. That's after a total over 56 games 3 started 750 minutes 164 attempts. Reed basically shooting better 3FG% after only getting at the most 10% of the chances and opportunities og JG.
I dont mind the 3 pt percentage I am whining about the 36% FG and 40% TS in yr 2. He is playing double the mins but is just as inefficient as last year with minimal improvement ironically just like Jalen. However 36% from 3 on low attempts is not exactly enough to call him the best shooter in the nation you understand that yes or no? 36% is average rate in the NBA. Its neither good nor bad and a 2% diff when having 3 less attempts Jalen and Reed "best shooter in the nation" are arguably equal. "At the most 10% of Jalen" you act like Reed wasnt ******** the bed last year thats why he only got 12.mins a game. Hey, maybe if he wasnt so horrific he'd have gotten more mins
not any different than after Jalen's 4th year some still saying he's Numero Uno or a top 20 player LOL But in reality lalen might be Jordan Clarkson or Jordan Poole at best Can we call give Reed at least half of the chances Jalen was given? Or is that too much to ask?
Do you understand the reason Reed didnt get a lot of chances last year? Yes or no? And no Jalen's 54% TS is a lot different from Reed's 47% TS esp given Jalen much higher volume. When does Reed get accountable for his bad performance leading to low playing time? If you are gonna keep saying his low minutes are an excuse then it becomes a chicken and egg situation he will end up retiring after a decade and you will say he only had 2 yrs of chances. I am just comparing Reed to his peers in the awful 2024 class. A lot of guys going out and helping their teams to wins Ajay Mitchell, Kalel Ware, Castle, Buzelis, Holland etc but Rox are still babying Sheppard and making excuses left and right. Even Risacher and Sarr looking much improved in Yr 2.
Half is excessive, that would be 5000 minutes. I think when he gets to maybe 2k minutes you will at least have some idea if he’s gonna be good or meh.
If Reed wasn't a defensive liability, I think he would be our future point guard. He's a very cerebral player, has a nice feel to the game...however, Reed is getting hunt way too much on defense and teams are capitalizing when he's on the court. I'm curious to see how Reed will play against good 3 point shooting teams where we wont be able to hide him in our 2-3 zone sets
You're comparing a huge sample size of @ss versus a guy who is just starting to play. Tell me you quit on jalen in January 2022 or shut the hell up.
Well, he's not jacking up the most shots on the team for 3 years is he? He's coming off the bench with the hope he improves. If he doesn't, he won't he here in 2 years. The lack of awareness you display is disturbing.
Ok, so Victor is @ss because he once had a bad game, right? 52 games? At 12 minutes per? No, that's no sample size. That's 3 months into the 4 years you wanted to give Jalen. So no, having a tiny fraction of the playing time Jalen got isn't a good sample size. I'm glad you like Castle. Maybe the rockets will sign him to replace DFS in a few years.
