Summary:
Nazreon Reid is an tough, physical big man that can score the basketball in a variety of ways, and he also is a very good rebounder. He has the face-up game to score off the dribble as well as to knock down jump shots, and he also can back opponents down to score in the post.
He does have a reputation for not getting his teammates involved enough on offense at times, but with a strong season, Reid could potentially be a first round pick in the upcoming draft.
