He’s a great player, sure. This board thinks he’s a first round lock/lottery talent. There is 0% chance he goes in the lottery. Maybe late first round.

The board hates Simmons because he “didn’t care” on a bad LSU team. Reid plays some very lackadaisical basketball at times on a really good team. He sleepwalks in some of these games, this one included when we’re playing for an SEC title.

He’s an awesome player, and potential is through the roof, but there is a lot he needs to work on to make the transition to the next level.

He's not on Simmons' level. I think Naz's shortcoming are because he's still learning

I mean, he’s probably a first rounder because of measurables and ball skills/shooting

But yea he’s lazy AF a lot of times and disappears in half our games due to a lack of aggressiveness

Professional sports teams draft on potential 90% of the time. They can care less about college stats.

I think it would benefit him to come back a year. I don’t think he’s ready. Great potential though.

6’10 can run the floor, knock down threes, doesn’t jump very high. He is Niko Mirotic with more potential

He just does not have body control to finish around the rim.

Everybody knows he needs work.

What is the point of this thread?

Occasionally yes but he’s not a shooter like NBA bigs. He pump fakes too damn much instead of just catching and shooting

Yes when Simmons was he had more talent but Nazi gives more effort than Simmons ever dreamed of. That’s a fact. I take that any day of the week

Yes he needs some work and isn’t a finished product. But at least he’s lazy.

Definitely has a lot of potential and his physical ability is amazing for someone his size but he is still sooooooo raw. He has zero post game and is not ready for the NBA at all. The announcers just said that only 7% of our shots this season have come from typical back to goal post up

Naz is way too soft for a big man. He assert himself on the inside enough and makes a lot of stupid fouls
