Summary:
Willie Reed was so close to being one of the feel-good stories in basketball: he was in the NBA D-League for a long time, and almost got NBA opportunities a couple of times but never got to appear in a game until the 2014-15 season with the Brooklyn Nets, where he proved his worth as a fringe roster player, eventually signing a rest-of-season deal before joining the Miami Heat the next summer.
