LSU PF Naz Reid Goes Undrafted In The 2019 NBA Draft

Yep, he needed 1 more year at LSU and maybe would've been a lottery pick in next years draft. Guess he can play overseas now.

He still getting paid to play over seas.... Glad he came to LSU... And yes i wish he wouldve stayed 1 more year

It really still amazes me that in this day and age this still happens. Dumb move. Should have stayed in school.

Sucks that he didn't get to hear his name. I'm glad he came to LSU and wish him the best where ever he ends up.

Greed got to him before he was ready. Enjoyed watching him play for us though

I'm only a casual basketball observer and I could tell he was too inconsistent for the NBA. I wish him well and hope he has great success, but another year with a real developer and educator like Wade would have netted him millions. I hope young players take notice.

He was very bad in many BB situations, especially down low, back to the basket, making proper, under control moves, footwork and how to use a simple pivot foot he was atrocious, many low post situations. He could shoot a set shot from 3 at times and that is about it. Should have stayed 1-2 more years, then with coaching on his footwork and post moves could have netted him a top 10 pick in 2021 draft.

Lots if talent but very inconsistent. Should have stayed to hone skills. Will get offers to play in Europe so he should earn 90-95k per year for another 2-5 years. Maybe he will develop more

His skills are going to be "honed" much more playing in developmental leagues, where he can get paid (legally) and not have to go to class than he would have playing in the SEC. NO way a year at LSU will better prepare him for the NBA more than a year in almost any professional league.

This is what is wrong with this 1 and done philosophy of today. Now this kid has no options for school or work. The NCAA needs to allow kids to return to school if this happens. This is unfortunate but these kids are also exploited by Agents who will tell these kids whatever they want to hear to get them on board with them. The entire situation is horrible.

Picked up by Minnesota. Good luck to the young man!

Looks and plays like a female

College athletics is a joke. I would say a large % of these kids coming to play football or basketball do not care about an education. They want to showcase their skills to get to the Pro's. People say well why doesn't the NCAA allow universities to pay these kids. They get a free scholarship which is worth a lot of money. Plus an education. Which can be invaluable. Personally I'd rather there be stricter admission guidelines so that universities could only get kids that want an education and to play a sport. As for these kids who are great athletes, but don't care about an education they just want to play ball.....I say go find a developmental league and make peanuts while you develop. There are so many good kids who deserve a scholarship but never get a chance because they weren't a great athlete. Good but not great. Why are we rewarding these kids who can basically only play a sport and can barely make academic admission requirements. And once he does he has to be helped to make the grade to stay in school. And lets be honest some of these classes they take are a joke. I don't know this young man. I don't know what his academics were. But 1 and done? Why even come to school in the first place. Just go to a developmental league out of high school and hone your skills. Leave college sports for the kids who deserve it. We see this in basketball more so than football. And I know I will hear crap for this. Oh you butt hurt because you weren't good enough. Wrong. I went to school on a scholarship and played ball. And had a 4.0 GPA. And I used to get so pissed at some of the uneducated guys who were there to only play ball. These guys barely could speak a complete sentence. And I know Im gonna hear the race card pulled too. No Im not a racist. I believe in treating everyone fairly. And yes a large majority of the kids Im referring to are black. It is what it is. You look at football teams or basketball teams and there are far more blacks playing than whites. Better athletes in most cases. God blessed them with skills. I want the black kids with smarts that can become doctors or something better after a playing career. And this isn't about black or white. But until universities step back and realize how much time and money they waste on these 1 and done or 2 and done kids or the ones who just don't have the smarts....we will continue to see things as they are today.

He's still got 300k. He'll be fine.

That three bench press hurt him. I know about the KD bench but Naz is no KD. He should have been in the gym , he knew it was coming. #workethic#

It’s sad, but these kids sometimes get bad advice from people. He really could have benefited by another year in school.

i bet if they could declare from high school he would have went as well, this is why the NBA wants college for prospectus

i don’t know who was giving him advice, but not once did he look ready for the NBA. The potential was there for sure, but he might, MIGHT, have been a mid/late first rounder if he had stayed one more year.

Lesson learned ... next!

These guys make dumb decisions
