Paul Reed Jr., a 21 year old junior out of DePaul, averaged 15 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2.6 blocks this past college season. He’s a 6’9, pogo-stick-athlete with long arms (7’2 wingspan) and great mobility. If you watched a five minute highlight video you might think you’re watching the next Dennis Rodman. Watching entire games paints a different picture and explains why he is mostly projected as a second round pick. That’s not to say he doesn’t do a lot well and I think those positives are the exact things the Wizards would benefit from.
