The Delaware Bluecoats finished the season with 10 wins and five losses. Reed was drafted by the Sixers in the second round of the 2020 NBA draft out of the University of DePaul. The 21-year old rookie finished the 2020-21 NBA G League season averaging 22 points per game with 12 boards and two assists.
Reed also finished the season averaging about two blocks and two steals a game while shooting 45 percent from the three-point line, and 59 percent from the entire field. The Sixers rookie has only played seven games in his NBA rookie season.
Reed is averaging about three points per game with two boards and a block. Reed craves to improve his game and to use these accolades as motivation to make himself a bigger contributor to the Sixers. He should be very pleased with the Sixers, given their championship aspirations and hopes.
Having a championship-minded head coach in Doc Rivers, NBA All-Star and superstar caliber players in Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, and the veteran players that can be coaches on the floor in Danny Green, Dwight Howard, and Tobias Harris should bring great confidence to the rookie. The young rookie has a very bright NBA future ahead of him and should be in line for more minutes despite the overall success of the Sixers roster.
