can people stop saying Reed won’t develop by “riding the bench”. This simply is a false statement. He gets about 25 minutes a game. He went 2-10 FG last game. He has shot .180 last 8 games. 35% overall FG% last 15 games. When will we say he hasn’t played well or admit he just isn’t that good right now. Doesn’t mean he can’t or won’t grow. Just means in his second year as we speak he just isn’t that good of an NBA player. He won’t magically shoot 50% and .400 from 3 Just by playing 5 more minutes a game. Now onto Amen. The man can’t finish. How many times have we seen him blow a layup after a steal or drive? How many missed lob dunks? And he can’t shoot more than 10 ft always opting for a dribble handoff when he’s out of this range and the paint is stacked. It’s beyond frustrating. Trade both of them. It simply isn’t working.
I’m afraid it’s gonna be the latter. It should have been happening this season, and with Fred’s injury, instead of trying to regroup our roster, Stone basically decided to wait for next season.
