He isn’t a rotation player in the nba it appears.

Part of it is that he needs burn to figure out how to play. The issue is that he is finally getting playing time out of necessity and against the damn OKC Thunder.

He is poopin the bed but what do you expect when he should be getting his reps against bad/mid teams.

I am not high on him, but he is being set up to fail against OKC.

Reed playing like the average 2k REC point guard. No defense, awful passing and jacking up terrible 3's.

Most teams would get cooked with these 3 guard lineups but OKC plays something called defense, so, they can get away with damn near anything. Must be nice
