Why is Reeves not considered pro material?

[kywildcats8]

To be fair, I don’t think the NBA cares all that much about defensive ability. Reed is on the NBA boards, and he isn’t exactly a defensive juggernaut.

Agree- Watch a few NBA games and you will see most people do not play defense in the NBA- if you can shoot, you can play in the NBA, see JJ Reddick, ...... IMO

Well, at the end of last year it was because he hadn't shown much in the way of getting his own shots and defense.
This year he is showing a much more versatile offensive game and his defense has shown not much improvement; still sucks
but he has the physical potential to become a better defender and if he does just a little he could spend some time
in the league. Bench time I mean...

He's almost 30 and not physically dominant.

I just turned 65. I REFUSE to consider myself almost 70 for at least 2 more years.

I believe he will get an opportunity to see if he can play at the next level. Whether he can, or not, I’m not sure. He’ll make money somewhere, though, maybe overseas. Having said that, I’ve always been surprised Tyler Ulis did not play abroad.

He probably should have, but he started having hip issues, then a car wreck destroyed what was left of his hips.

He is old.

He's got good height. Can rebound. Got a nice little baseline floater and can hit threes. What am I missing?

He will make plenty of money overseas. He'd be wise not to spend four years in the G-League and just go enjot living in Barcelona or whatever.

He will be drafted in mid 2nd round and be a starter for a long while so He will have a great NBA career. His focus on D and rebounding and passing this season has really helped.

Today was a perfect example of why the NBA is not high on Reeves.
He may make a few shots but as soon as the defense makes him a priority he's done.

Good coaches take the best players out of the game. Wish we had a good coach.

Yep; completely disappeared after scoring 22 quickly.

Yeah but Reeves makes it too easy.
Reeves is definitely a frontrunner.
Reminds me of Crawford.
