Reed had some real fans coming out of the 2020 draft, as some evaluators had a first round grade on him. However, Reed fell all the way to the 58th pick, but became a steal for the 76ers. Reed was very productive in the G-League in '20-'21, averaging over 22 points and just under 12 rebounds per game en route to winning G-League MVP. He was also pretty efficient, shooting 63% from two and even 44% from three on over three attempts per game (he hasn't been trying to take 3s in the NBA though). He put up almost identical numbers in the '21-'22 season over a 9-game span. Reed started getting more consistent minutes in '22-'23 after playing very few minutes his first two seasons, and was in the regular rotation for the 76ers as the primary backup center. The 76ers ended up trading Reed away after signing Andre Drummond in 2024, and he didn't have a great year with the Pistons in '24-'25, getting inconsistent minutes. Reed is slightly undersized for a center at 6'9", but he has a 7'2" wingspan and is athletic, so he has real potential to be a good defender. He may never be an elite rim protector, but he can switch, move laterally on the perimeter, and can be disruptive with blocks and steals. Offensively, he will need to answer some of the questions that he had coming into the draft about his overall feel for the game, but he has shown growth in that area. He finishes pretty well inside and has a really good offensive rebounding rate. At 26 years old as a free agent in 2025, Reed is getting past the point where he is a young prospect that you can expect to develop significantly.
