re: Basketball Roster Retention Ranking

Reid struggled but he showed some decent potential down the stretch. He’s 10 feet tall and has the skill to shoot jumpers. There is something there. I hate to be mean but Mwani is one of the most stale offensive players I have seen for us, he doesn’t do anything but shoot wide open corner 3’s

Reid does nothing for me. He’s more skilled offensively than he showed, I’ll give you that, but he’s soft and unathletic. When a guy is soft he typically stays soft, and he was someone the opponent consistently attacked either via the PnR or switching. Down the stretch he averaged 9.9 pts, 5.8 rbs, 1.5 blks, 1.8 turns, and 7.4 fouls per 40 minutes. He was really bad, and shouldn’t have even seen the floor as the season progressed, but there was really nobody else to turn too.

It’s more about Reid than Mwani for me, but I would also never turn down a guy with some size on the perimeter that can defend and knock down corner 3’s. I think that’s more valuable than the nothing burger Reid provided.
