Hey Alt, still think Reed hasn't shown improvement since he got to campus? Or do you really never watch the games?

He did a great job finishing around the rim. But he was always able to do that. Even last year. It was the consistency and diversity of his game that hadn't really improved since last season. But in these last two games you've seen him play with confidence. Seen him drive with a purpose and not a guy who starts to drive without much of a plan of attack. Going into the last two games the numbers from last year and this year were virtually the same. That's not my opinion. It's raw data. Before the game vs. South Carolina he had scored in double-figures in SEC place once all season.

The last two games don't suddenly change what happened before them. But what you might be seeing is a guy who is now starting to figure things out. A guy who is starting to understand what kind of player he is and what he can do. So no, I don't think he had improved a ton before these last two games. But you very well could be seeing the start of that big jump he's always had the potential to take. Hopefully you are because he may have the most potential of any player on the whole team.
