Damn, Xavier TIllman has those Kawhi mitts. He'll probably not fall to 30 for the Celtics.
Paul Reed with the tiny hands and the worst lane agility time at the combine so far.

Yeah I don't recall him ever being talked about.
Glancing at his nbadraft.net capsule, there were questions about his ballhandling ability, and about his shot mechanics and his ability to hit the 3 in the NBA (he was at best a passable shooter in college and supposedly had trouble shooting against length). And he was doubted on due to his age and relative lack of athleticism and less than ideal lateral quickness.
Perhaps the key segment of his nbadraft.net profile was: "Plays with great intensity and a high motor on both ends of the court, which helps him make up for average athleticism…Competes at a high level…Very smart all-around player…His wingspan and strength allows him to play bigger than his height on both ends of the floor…Experienced leader with a high basketball IQ…Enters the draft as a very accomplished collegiate player…Is known to have high character…Plays the game the right way …"
Could have said similar about FVV, who went undrafted.

If we had Hampton of the bench, Heats zone schemes would've gotten killed, which could've given us the slight edge in the end.
He would be a solid pick and Ainge loves high rated high school players. He'd be such a great weapon for this team, this gives us some more versatility on the offensive end. The kid looks like Westbrook out there but with more IQ(more court vision), he could turnout to be a huge steal at #14.
I'm not even worried about his defensive weaknesses. We have Brad Stevens, he somehow makes his players better defenders. We had questions about Tatums defense but he developed himself in one of the best defensive player on our roster. RJ with his attributes and intangibles will probably turnout a better defender under Stevens.
I think this kid will deliver during crunch time, when it matters most.

Celtics have approached Atlanta for #6. Has to be for Gordon Hayward.
The Hawks arent trading #6 for Hayward when they can just sign him outright

Does hand width matter more than hand length? Reed is at 9.0 length and everyone is that or lower other than 5 guys at 9.25 and Tillman at Kawhi level. But he is over half way down on the width side.
Agility scores do blow, though. My main reason for liking him was switchability across 5 positions. That hurts.
