Also, the old adage that you can't teach size is being disproven by Reed.
He is a 7'2" center trying to play like a small forward. He bends at the waist on defense making himself as small as possible and doesn't move his feet and then tries to time his jump to block a shot.
Stand your tall, lanky arse up, hold your long, lanky arse arms up and protect the basket. Forcing bad shots is just as good as blocking a good shot. Leaning over and fouling someone every 12 seconds isn't helpful.

He is going for the Dikembe says "No" block. He isn't doing the 2014 Roy Hibbert Pre All Star Hands up Jump Up block.
I agree he needs to just be vertical. He almost should be forced to put his hands straight up in the air the entire time he is on D. He isn't going to get any teals from balls passed in the lane anyways

Reed's layup that didn't even hit rim was embarrassing.
His offensive game is worst than Hibbert's when Hibbert was a freshman, and Hibbert never really became a true offensive threat until his senior year. So, other than Reed being a nightmare for opposing teams offense, I don't know what to expect from him.

That was one of the things I noticed with the LSU big man when some of our guys were trying to drive to the basket. He literally just stood there and put his hands up and they had to float the ball so high to get it over him that they missed a ton of those.
