I'm a big fan of Reed, but I was disappointed with his combine numbers. I was hoping he would come in alittle bigger and come in like an inch shorter than Booker, but anyway..... with that said, years ago i loved Booker and Herro coming out of UK, I like Reed more than Herro and almost the same as Booker.

He could the next Mark Price his ceiling could be MVP Steve Nash

You can't take Reed at #1.

But if we are moving on from Trae, I'd trade down and take a HR swing on this kid.

He just seems special:

Reed is an automatic talent in the current state of the NBA. A sniper of a shooter. While he possibly won't be a superstar you know what you're getting with him and that's possibly the best shooter in the draft.

Reed could end up being the best player of all-time and we'll be criticized for taking him #1. If Sarr doesn't workout we'll be criticized for taking him #1.

I want our front office to take who they believe will be a top rookie of the year candidate and year after year all-star.

Landry Fields will look like a genius by making the right choice and not by going off raw potential. We know what to expect from Reed. He's going to be one of the best three point shooters in the league.

The Kentucky players that will go in the lottery are intriguing to me because they shoot the 3 at 40% or greater.

Future great!
He has a great head on his shoulders and he's going to dominate this weak league.
