    FVV is ~ 38% 3 point shooter over the last year. As long as he's not the primary playmaker taking contested off the dribble threes, he's a highly accurate, high volume shooter.

    Defense is more a concern than shooting if he's healthy, IMO. FVV is a great defender (does a lot of things well even if length, size limits him some even if not a great POA defender), but the guys FVV guards well are also the guys one would want to put Reed on. Rockets had issues at times with FVV, Green, and Amen as it made switching more difficult.

    Need to start Fred even if he is not 100%. KD and Reed are only true shooters we got and at this point of their career cannot comfortably create offense by them selves so kinda wasting effort to put both in at same time since Sengun will be getting half of the plays. I’m one of the biggest Reed believer but Reed off the bench this offseason will be much more beneficial for him and the team.
