Efton Reid weight

Looks like he's put on some weight. Also looks to be playing a more physical game.

He showed some potential in the SEC tourney in one of his last games here.

He was a good kid it seemed. But it’s hard to play less physical than he did as a 7 footer.

It's so common among big men in college, and maybe it's just that they aren't as athletic so they arent as explosive, but so many of them just seem like they don't play hard, like they need some testosterone or something. The little players always have that dog in them.

A lot of people forget or don't know Efton Reid didn't start playing basketball til high school. He is and was still learning the game.

It's almost like he is a Jr and not a freshman... Amazing how that happens.. kids seem to get better and stronger after a few years in college

Do they have a rebounding lab?

He is likely at McNeese next year with Wade.

He’s been very good on the boards this season. Top 5 in the ACC in total rebound%, offensive rebound% and defensive rebound%. He’s a good kid, glad he’s having success.

I’ll probably get killed, but Efton is a better player than Baker. Has a more polished offensive game and just abused outman teams to run his stats up. Efton wasn’t eligible first 10 games or so. LSU probably beats Georgia and TAMU (2nd time) with better rebounding
Baker has been kind of pathetic in the SEC and we needed a little more from him. I honestly still can’t believe we got to 9 victories in an conference as deep as it is

Baker is more talented but Reid gets more out of his ability.

I thought he slimmed down. Less baby fat and more muscle. Looked pretty good in the early season games I saw he played.
The comparisons to Baker are stupid. Completely different games.

As I've suggested as have many others, Baker IMHO has to score at least 20 points and be efficient offensively to justify the minutes he gets because he compromises the team so significantly on the defensive end, including rebounding.
He has the capability to score 20 or more and has a few times, but not a lot.

Reid had a solid year at Wake Forest. Averaged 9.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks per game.
Tangentially, this is his third team in 3 years. I hate the transfer portal (at least what it's become), with immediate play and no 1-year sit required.
Every player is a free agent every year. There's zero continuity with rosters, which is so difficult not just for coaches, but also for fans. I just can't buy into my team emotionally because I don't know who the roster is and I know many will leave after 1 year anyway.
It's destroying college sports.
