Reed's layup that didn't even hit rim was embarrassing.
Everything is spinning and moving too fast for him right now. Very common for players when they move from hs to college. Like Lang and Purchase, his offensive game will look much better once things slow down in his head. Also, for some reason, games are much different than practices/scrimmages in this regard. The only real solution is playing time.

However, where he can help this team right now is by just being tall and playing defense like a raw 7'2" guy should.

Doesn't help when you don't have a healthy guy on your roster that can simulate opponents 6'6+ C/PFs. I'm sure it is easy for him to stuff Bower's shots in practice and so hard to get it through his head that not all post players are 6'5 like at AU/HS games

This is what hurt about Reed not being here for first half of the season. All the games with teams that weren't good enough to overwhelm Reed like ULL, Coastal, Milwaukee etc have come and gone.

They really need to make a rule for him that his hands should be straight up at all times on defense. He'll look like a goon but be the most effective defensive post player we have.
