This could mean good things for a potential Jaxson return. Could be reading into things, but maybe this is why Chaz might be heading elsewhere.
Honestly, I'd consider Rob #1 if the team needed a scoring PG. I think he will be an all-star within 5 years, a cross between Iverson and Trae Young.
That’s why the spurs pick is so interesting to me. You can make so many arguments for Reed there, and you can make so many arguments for dillingham there.
Guys at 165 lbs Rob is going to have issues. That will be the hold up on him. He is quick/ fast and hard to keep in front of you but one thing for sure his body will not take the abuse of guards much bigger than him. He is no Allen Iverson (small but still heavier than Rob by 10lbs).
Wrong on the Iverson size comparison claiming AI was 10 lbs heavier. Rob was 164 at combine, Iverson was 167 at his combine. That is 3 pounds. We're talking 3 pounds. Not even 3 kilos, but 3 pounds.
I like Dilly A LOT ... but the numbers are the numbers, in terms of the net +/- every time Reed was on the floor at UK. And if you told me, "You can't have Reed, but you can have Dilly" it wouldn't distress me a bit. Nevertheless ... I respectfully suggest that Reed will be a 6'2" version of Larry Bird. I see Dilly as a lot like Iverson - who, of course, was a muilti-year All-NBA and a scoring machine.
Shaudy ... don't you think Reeves will catch on with someone and have a productive NBA career ? As you know, lots of undrafted free agents become successful in the League. Your thoughts ?
I think it’s possible he can have a solid career with someone . One good thing about going undrafted is you can look at what is the best situation for yourself and as you said sign with a team .
Agreed. Any front office personnel who actually watch the game should be able to see that Reeves can provide immediate offensive production. His game is tailored for NBA style of play.
My point was: Perception of anything determines ones opinion.
I was going by a couple of the vlogs on the draft. Both had the same weight. All info on line is correct, correct? I know that is funny. lol
I stand by he is on AI. I love Rob D, but that is too much to ask from him. He has some crazy moves, wants the ball in his hands at crunch time, and he is not afraid of anything. His smile is infectious and I believe he plays the game with his heart (all heart). I do not follow NBA like I did from the 70s through the early 90s. So what do i know. lol
The problem with Reeves is his defense is awful. Awful awful. And yes, they do play defense in the NBA so that does matter.
I'd make the caveat that the beholder who sees beauty in Edwards' basketball game is kind of blind.
Any team that picks a 6'6" player that lacks great athleticism or skills anywhere in the 1st round of the NBA draft is incompetent at their job and likely won't hold it long.
College basketball and NBA are almost 2 different games. At the college level, I'd take Reed all-day-every-day. At the NBA level, I'd take Rob.
Pretty much all of our perimeter players the past 10 years have looked bad defensively while at Kentucky. Even if they're quicker than the guy they're guarding(Fox and Dilly for example), at UK guys just blew past them. It might have more to do with defensive gameplanning and coaching than ability or desire. Reeves seems plenty quick and big enough to be a decent defensive player so I'll wait until he can't guard people under better coaching before I say he just can't do it.
no doubt he is not AI, but there has only been one AI
shorter (meaning AI was shorter) but same weight. I just hope Rob's body can handle the NBA guys. He is one of my favorites, plays it like a video game.
