Reed is a very promising prospect.
First of all, he has great measurables. 6-6 with a 7 foot wingspan and has legit SG/SF athleticism.
Offensively, he is a good shooter. 39.7% from 3's ties him with Malik Monk. 83% FT's and gets to the rim with his long reach. His form is solid and can break down his defender off the dribble when needed to get his shot off. A good, not great finisher with limited hops. But he shows tremendous promise here as he displays athleticism near the rim.
He is a good dribbler for a wing, and a better passer than his 2.4 apg indicates. He actually plays really well in the flow of the game creating for teammates when needed or getting a shot off when needed. His in game IQ looks solid.
He is a willing defender. He uses his long arms to be a nuisance and is athletic enough to keep them in front. His feet need to be quicker. Too many times he takes unnecessary risks or has his body out of position. But a good coach will clear that up. He has the potential to be good here if he has the heart, which...
His intangibles are solid. Well liked and well respected on his team (they call him Mr. Dependable). He's a top student (3 time all ACC academic). And a natural leader. He does a lot of dirty work on the floor for his team. He's one of those guys that is a little good at a lot of things.
This is no stiff. He really could be a good player. I love this pick. Plus, because he's 22, he brings immediate age and experience to the team (I can't believe I'm saying that, but everyone else is under 21).
