Reynolds can make shots that no one on our current can. Quick release of screens going left or right. He also showed good vision getting the ball inside. Make a couple of great cuts last night moving without the ball. We’re so used to Judah dominating the ball we forget a point guard doesn’t have to have the ball in his hands all the time. He’s a dynamic guard who might be playing in the league.
I think Reynolds would instantly be the best shooter on the team and our best source of offense. Being the third ball handler at St. Joe’s vs. potentially handing him the lead ball handler duties here makes me a bit nervous but he did show some nice flashes of playmaking when given the chance.
I'm not saying it will happen but the two of them are friends. I don't think the staff views JJ as somebody who they absolutely cannot recruit over. If those two both wanted to play here I don't see a world where they say no thanks.
I view JJ to Red the same way we viewed Joe to JB. That’s his guy.
I agree in a way but also don't think he would turn down somebody that he knows would really help us get back to where we want to be.
Interesting. Thanks for the insight. It would just make the team that much stronger.
Long time relationship. Friends with Red’s son, if I recall correctly.
Lovers?
I think Red has known JJ since he was in like elementary school
I agree.
I was very impressed by his shooting after the horrendous start to the season that he had. He definitely showed some growth beyond just that. Defense was sad though.
Not that it makes a difference.
I agree. I think he's going to be a star on offense next season. People discounting his abilities are gonna eat their words. The part I worry about is his defense. It was mostly bad, but I think/hope it can improve significantly. He has lateral quickness so he should be a lot better. Red will need to get him to work really hard and recommit to improving his defensive footwork and positioning and also his long-range shooting in the offseason.
I agree. He has a chance to really heal and work on his stroke this off season. I would imagine he might have been a little tentative banging tight off screens because of his shoulder. He has excellent athletic ability and quickness to become a good defender.
I highly doubt Red would turn down Reynolds IF he enters the portal and wants to come here. He is way too skilled to pass on. But, I see the NBA as a more likely landing spot.
Reynolds has to convert to point guard if he wants to get drafted. Not many 6’2” two guards in the NBA.
