    I'm kind of annoyed his biggest highlight is a pretty clear double dribble. Wished they put more of his long 3s in there. I want him to be taking a 3 from the logo every trip down the court next game until he bricks 5 straight or something.

    It was a pleasure watching Reed’s debut live at Summer League with @dschwab. Watch out for 20yr olds Reed and Cam. They gonna shoot lights out and force turnovers for years to come.

    I don't know how Udoka is going to allocate minutes, but if Reed does not start the season in the Rotation I would be extremely shocked.

    They don’t call double dribble on that in the tournaments I coach and they damn sure don’t call that in the NBA.

    I guess i don’t watch a lot of summer league debuts outside of the Rockets, but that’s easily the best Rockets summer league debut.

    Reed navigating Steven Adams screens is something to look forward to.

    Yeah, it'll be fun shooting behind Steven Adams's screens.

    You have to say it's just Summer League to keep perspective, but Reed is on brand so far and looked great.

    I was surprised and he displayed a bag with some shot creation for himself and others, nice winning plays. We'll see how he develops

    Now if we can just have his shooting rub off on everyone else we'll be set.
