I think he actually gets minutes, right off the bat. His shooting is a special skill. Not a ton, but some.


It's possible he benefits most from Ivey being out if he can get that 9th or 10th spot in the rotation since Ivey is out. Sometimes when a rookie gets a chance due to injury they don't ever go back to being an out of rotation player.

Agreed. Blessing in disguise type of thing.

He is deadly. He is one of those guys you cannot, under any circumstances, lose contact with or he'll burn you.

Thank you. He wasn’t listed on the ESPN injury report so I was confused.

Paul Reed's post game interview with George and Greg reminded me of Jamie Foxx 's character in the incredibly underrated movie 'The Great White Hype' :lol:
