Can't figure out why Reed can't be Sanogo lite

[TheShot1990]

I think Scruineer touched on what I was trying to articulate. It's about toughness. I'm not sure if it's cultural or just attitude. The comment about watching Rodman, Artest or Barkley was about instilling some beast mode in his game, not learning skill. I never like to disparage players on this board but against Kalk, Reed seemed intimidated or just apathetic. Take the freaking ball in the post and bring it right into his frigging body! pump fake and shoot it! Some games he is an absolute beast. Other games he seems aloof, apathetic and dare I say....soft.

Reed is averaging 9-7 in 20 minutes while barely touching the ball near the basket. He's great when allowed to play, 12 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 blocks in 32 minutes against St John's just the game before. He's gonna be the best center in the league next season, and one of the best in the country. We've grossly underutilized him this season, he should be getting 30 minutes in every possible game.

His fouling is the biggest thing keeping his numbers down.
