Tarris Reed

I always adopt a favorite nba team based on my fav players, so it was Boston in the past and Charlotte as well…I adopted the Spurs when they took Castle and I’m a TINY bit annoyed that they’re this good already for that reason, it’s looking like I’m a bandwagon jumper but they were awful when I took them on, lol

The only games I bother looking at are Portland, SA and Memphis. I'd check in more often with NO & Milwaukee if Ajx & Hawkins played.

Reed's own agent comparing him to Day'Ron Sharpe, hmmm....

You think so? His archetype doesn't really exist in today's NBA. Who is his comp?

Sharpe a smidge longer and a bit bouncier but there are similarities there. Sharpe left as a freshmen and has developed a 3 ball some aduring his time with the Nets

I know, I know Illinois is a "cOmPLeTeLy diFfeRent" team now, but they didn't need his A game to beat Illinois in November

No team is playing their best basketball in November, it would be foolish to think that result carries much weight into this match up. Hurley and staff will most likely look at that game tape, but they will definitely look more at what Illinois has done the last few weeks.

Tarris has been the only consistent performer on UConn since the first game of the Big East Tournament. His play has a positive multiplier effect on everyone else. Could you UConn win without Tarris's best? Maybe, but I don't want to find that out. The perimeter shooting has not been reliable.

Nice article on Reed from Dave Borges. Long but worth a read if you have some time today (you might be able to read without the alternate access link).

"When he's locked in and got a little nastiness to him and asserts himself and plays to his identity and is motivated to the max, this is what he does," Hurley said. "This is why we brought him here. People have seen this in him since he was a high school prospect. And now he's starting to put it all together, at the right time."

A spark has been lit under Reed, who's averaging nearly 22 points, 13.5 rebounds per game in the NCAA Tournament.
