Naz Reid-All-Star

I’m sorry do you think it’s his jump shot that needs work? Lol

Im telling you once he develops that jump shot to be more consistent he will be a NBA All-star. You cant teach his build.

Naz’s build and shot isn’t the problem. In fact, it’s his best attribute. He has several other negatives, which most of us saw during the season.

Wasn’t he consensus top 5 overall player out of high school or top 5 PF?

Naz is 6’10” and weighs 255 lbs. Okeke is 6’7” and weighs 233 lbs. How is that a similar build to Naz?

don't even bother pandering with these clowns that would rather see an LSU Tiger fail than root for him to succeed just bc they disagree with his decision. Idiots

Just curious, can you name an undrafted all-star from the past 10-15 seasons?

He is very stiff, looks uncomfortable trying to work to the basket with his back to the basket, he loses the ball when he tries to dribble in tight to the basket, and misses too many close shots. But, he can shoot a three and move well without the ball for a dunk.
Wishing him the best as he moves onward.

Naz has zero jump shot. He shoots a flat footed set shot or a one handed semi jump hook around the rim.
Okeke is 6-8 230 and plays PF just like Naz. He is a much better rebounder and defender and was freaking drafted in the middle of the first round even though he has a torn ACL. Just making a point to all the purple and gold koolaid drinkers that Naz is not that highly thought off by NBA teams.

I agree he will one day make an NBA squad and may even become a solid player. All-star? Time will tell. We have to remember this kid is one year removed from high school. He's young and I think he will work hard and improve and will be given a legitimate shot in the NBA. I think he made a mistake by leaving early, but it's hard to tell a young kid that has some talent to stay because all of them think they're going to make it to the NBA. He has work to do, but if he does the work, someone is going to give him a shot.
