The kid makes some great plays but also throws up some real bricks. I think getting him more involved as option -1A or 1B is critical to getting the game shot reps to be the scorer we want.
I’d also like to see Silas take more looks.
As much as folks talk about Reeds numbers, the fact is he leaves a lot on the table, misses a ton of bunnies and rarely if ever kicks out. He’s constantly crowded at the rim because Ds know his tendency, so they collapse down. Reed shrinks the floor to a 6 foot radius deleveraging every other player.
Ball simply is a liability and needs to play limited minutes until he earns time playing well.
AK hasn’t improved one iota in 2 years and doesn’t seem like it capable of being your first scoring option.
Smith dribbles way too much and starts the O late in the clock killing rhythm.
Stewart brings some hops and adds intangibles on D and contesting on the boards. We don’t need three guys competing to be 3 hero’s.
Reibe is a disappointment for a 7 footer. He plays like he’s 6’8” and 100 pounds. He needs a lot more work and needs some physical development.
Overall, we lack a real athletic multi-tool forward that can bang, hit the boards and score on the inside. We are very 2 dimensional. Feed Reed or take a 3. The offense is stalling because there is no inside out movement and the guys are floating outside the arc. As good as each guy should be they don’t complement each other. Silas is the saving grace stirring enough activity to keep them functioning at a level that gets them by.
