Prefer Reed getting minutes for the Sixers but at least he made use of his time

It's a matter of time before the Jazz give this guy some run. He's too big and talented on offense to spend the year on the G-League. Seems he's figured out how to be pretty unselfish, too.

Reed is too good for the gleague.

Too random for the NBA.

Haywood Highsmith and Shaq Harrison made the USA qualifying roster.

I wish they would bring up a Haywood and Shamarie ponds they could help the 76ers right now.

To me, Charlie Brown seems most able to step in a provide immediate help to the Sixers. He's generating takeaways and spacing at an elite rate in the early going.

I like what I seen from Brown too. Just not sure if he would get the same shots he gets in the g league and he doesn't really provide much of anything else.

You could plug Haywood in at the 3 or small ball 4. Haywood can knock down the 3, and give more size and athleticism on the wing. Ponds you can play him next to shake or furkan when either one are struggling. Ponds can give us some ball handling, shot making off the bench. At this point Shake and Furkan have shown they are not going to give us that on a consistent basis so its time to give someone else a look

Kobblehead · Post #28 » by **Kobblehead** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 12:14 am

The cause for pause with Ponds is his size. A rotation that already deploys Maxey and Curry might not be able to afford to put another munchkin on the court.

I'm about done with Milton. He's afraid to shoot and he's always been a defensive liability. I want to replace him in the rotation with Joe or someone else. I'd like to see Brown get a crack at winning the job. Right now, he's locked in defensively and might be able to provide more on that end than Joe.

Reed in the G-league is pointless. I have my doubts he'll ever be an NBA rotation player but you have to give him run and let him make mistakes. If the Covid situation had him mostly nailed to the bench I don't see any hope he'd get a fair shake. May as well trade him for a couple of good 2nds. Some tanking team like the Rockets could try to see if they can create a player.

Kobblehead · Post #30 » by **Kobblehead** » Tue Nov 30, 2021 1:04 am

Put his ass in the G-League with a purpose. Tell him to park in the corner and hit spot up threes or he's never getting on the court at the NBA level.

This exactly. He has shown an ability to guard good players and he provides a ton of energy. I don't get how a guy like that isn't worth having on the end of the bench for certain spots. He's not learning a thing dominating the G-League.

I'm guessing the answer to this is spelled G-L-E-N-N-R-I-V-E-R-S.

Having a scheme you believe in and loyalty to players are admirable traits, but coaches that win also have flexibility and the ability to adjust and try different things particularly when the same thing continues to bring the same results. What do they always say about the definition of insanity?

And won't it be so exciting the next time the Sixers are down 1 with under 10 seconds and they inbound to Jo at the top of the key?

Well, look at the alternative - they could inbound to Tobias at the top of the key.

According to Doc, he was sent down to work on his game

And again

Can see this being another Richaun situation where we basically gave him away & he flourished elsewhere

Him toiling away on the bench and playing mop up duty during prime development years isn't optimal, either. I'd rather him in the G-league playing 30 mpg than the alternative. Same goes for Bassey and Joe. Can't waste development time with young players.
