RAW SCOUT NOTES FROM PHILADELPHIA 76ERS GAMES I WATCHED LAST SEASON (in order from start of the season to the end)
vs Nets
Paul Reed is at least a reasonable backup center in the NBA
Feel like he is a skilled big man
Just not super impactful defensively?
Doesn’t seem like he has the length or juice in DROP
vs Celtics
REED making an impact on the offensive boards in the 1st half
vs Suns
REED makes a tough bucket off a Maxey double team of the PnR
vs Cavs
REED with a couple of really nice finishes in the first 6 minutes
Bodies through Allen from the dunker spot for a dunk
PnR and finesse left hand finish a couple minutes later
WHAT A VERTICALITY BLOCK TO HOLD THE LEAD AT THE END OF THE GAME
vs Heat
REED has had some awesome defensive plays in this one
vs Heat (Play In)
Embiid leaves again with 8:30 in the 4th and the 76ers up 1, how does it go this time?
Batum missed 3PA but Reed creates “team” OREB (this looked like it was actually off Reed and should have been challenged, Heat may have been down to last challenge already though…???)
Ensuing possession Batum shot fake side dribble 3PM
Bam with a TOUGH floater cuts it back to 2
Hield lob to Paul Reed
vs Knicks (Round 1)
REED with a big bucket on an OREB putback
The Batum 3 and this OREB putback are late 3rd when Embiid is out, helping survive those minutes
vs Knicks (Round 1)
REED giving them some instant production upon entering the game
Couple really nice OREBs
