I understand the change Hurley wants on offense.  In 2024, they had numerous guys who were comfortable with the ball in a late shot clock situation.  
You can become a slave to the offensive philosophy, especially when you have a bunch of guys playing and competing for minutes they haven't seen yet.  You create a team of guys afraid to make the mistake rather than a team of guys be aggressive at the end of the shot clock.  You could see with some players at times last year.  The would give the ball up to a teammate with 3 or less on the shot clock to a teammate who has a guy right in their face or in a really bad position on the floor.
I didn't love Diarra's shot selection at times, but he at least tried to get it up on the rim most of the time when the clock was about to hit zero, and he hit a few of them as well.
If Reibe can handle himself defensively and stay out of foul trouble, I think when he's in, he will help spread the floor and by the end of the season be a really big part of what they are doing.
