    Mark Price was devestating in a similar role at 6'1"......Reed is fine.

    He's as tall as McClung. There are photos of them together and McClung is 6'2". That probably won't change anything for you two spazzes either.

    Reed is a fine player he's just unfortunately destined to be a role player due to his limitations and it's fine we need them as well.

    I’m 6’12” and stood next to Reed with someone that was 6’1” so I’m a much better judge of it than your TV calipers deckcheese

    Yeah sure, I’m sure everyone will believe your eye test and disregard him being measured without shoes.

    Reed was measured at 6'1.75 at the combine, not 6'3. You're looking at his in shoes measurements.

    He should start given the circumstances. Long term, I'd be pleased to see him develop into a sixth man/featured bench role.

    No, you are 100% wrong he will be an all star player, and a difference maker.

    I don't know if you are somebody's burner account or really new here. But we've done that photo height comparison already for lots of our players. It was fun when we did it as some jokes rather than as serious discussions.

    Yes, Reed will overcome his limitations and be elite because some guys did 25 years ago. Sengun being 6'10" is also a non-issue because Al Horford was only 6'9" and was an elite defender.

    I don't have any sense that Reed is going to pull a double-digit assist average out of his hat anytime soon. It's really a pretty narrow path for him to become more than a fringe all-star like Jamal Murray or Darius Garland.

    Of course, we'd have said the same about 21 year old James Harden....

    The Rockets need someone to be able to walk a pretty narrow path.
