Edit: I had a lot of disagreement with the original post. So is everyone still good with Reed only taking 1 shot at LSU? Did he pass up open 3s? I didn't think so. You know Reed is superior to Steve Alford at IU but Knight's offense was designed to get his shooters open and he recruited great shooters. Alford hung a banner along with great stats from 3. Cal doesn't do that and never has. Anyone who has every coached would have Reed getting good looks. You have to know your strengths and take advantage of them. Do you know Reed should and could score 20+ points a game? Sorry folks but this on Cal. Reed gets a minimum of 6 shots from 3 a game last night they win. I believe that can apply to several other games.
You have a player shooting 54% from 3 but doesn't have enough attempts to be considered in the league or national stats. Granted he could take more a game but many would not be considered quality with someone in your face and Reed isn't going to force it. It's the same when Kellan Grady was here. He was constantly running to get open without the help of off the ball screens. He ran so much over the span of the season he developed plantar fasciitis. I don't always agree with Vitale but even he said Reed should get a minimum of 10 shots a game. You can see many games he has been guarded closely. If he was playing for any other team I can assure you the coach would run plays to get him his shots.
