Philadelphia 76ers: Paul Reed lighting up G-League

Paul Reed, the Philadelphia 76ers’ second-round pick, is making his mark in the G-League.

The Philadelphia 76ers used the 58th overall pick in November’s NBA Draft to select Paul Reed, a bouncy 6-foot-9 forward from DePaul. While the second round is often the equivalent of throwing darts blindfolded in the wind, it is not uncommon for teams to strike gold. The Sixers have done so recently with Shake Milton, another player who Philadelphia snatched in the 50s.

Like Milton, Reed is primed to spend the first year or two of his career in the G-League.
