Will Scottie Reynolds make it in the NBA...

whatsgood5 · 02-08-10, 09:07 PM

Not my opinion, but I saw one mock by an expert that had him as the 60th overall pick. So just judging by that, I don't think he'll make it. Before reading that, I had thought he'd be an alright pro, but experts know more than me

THEGREAT30 · 02-08-10, 09:24 PM

Yes he will. He is Bibby right now. He is slow but so is Bibby, how is he any worse than Bibby?

philswin · 02-08-10, 09:35 PM

Not big enough to be a shooting guard and not quick enough to be a point guard. maybe a 11/12th man on a team at best

rm18 · 02-08-10, 09:36 PM

Mike Bibby knows how to run the point Reynolds does not, and Bibby is a better spot up shooter as well

iceminers26 · 02-08-10, 09:39 PM

I think he will make, solid all around player.

seaborneq · 02-08-10, 09:49 PM

Scottie does not seem to have enough "shake and bake" in his game to be an effective pro. I don't believe he is any worse than DJ Augustine though. I think he is much better than DJ, and DJ was a lottery pick.

Another Micheal Jordan, get drunk/high then hit the NBA draft pick.

Play on TV a few times, and you are on Jordans radar. What else explains the Morrison pick?

stevek173 · 02-08-10, 10:25 PM

Aaron Brooks sure seems to be and undersized guy shining in Houston, Reynolds is better that he was in college imo. He will shine in the NBA.

SamsNCharge99 · 02-08-10, 10:26 PM

I think he is good enough to make it, he will continue to grow and improve his game and maybe be 6th or 7th man on team

2nd or 3rd off bench

When Bibby came into the league, his quickness, shooting, and overall point guard skills were far superior to where Scottie Reynolds is at. Scottie is to small to play anywhere other then the point in the NBA, and he really doesn't have great point guard skills. Not an exceptional passer and he turns it over. He'll probably eventually end up as a solid player somewhere in Europe where he'll make decent money and live a nice life. It's debatable whether he'll make an NBA squad next year. They might relegate him to the D-league, which is where you go if you really want to get to the NBA one day and feel like you have a legit shot. Otherwise, the money is overseas, he'll compete much better over there.

Sixers will draft him in the first round. Leaving the states won't be necessary.

I hope so. More power to him. He seems to have a lot of heart.

Tree Rollins · 02-08-10, 10:47 PM

It's just going to be hard for him because he doesn't have traditional point guard skills and he isn't athletic enough to play off the play at his height in the nba. I hope he makes it though, i like him.

HustleGetPaid · 02-08-10, 10:48 PM

Good post Tree!!! Bibby was a better college player than Reynolds and had better overall skills heading into the league. Wish him the best, but don't see him having much of an NBA career.

minet123 · 02-08-10, 11:02 PM

He will be in Southern Europe or Israel and will make solid $ but not NBA money

LLXC · 02-08-10, 11:06 PM

Very late first round or second round. He'll get a chance at least I think.

MJFtheGenius · 02-08-10, 11:07 PM

Does a 10lb bag of flour make a real big biscuit???

of course he will make an outstanding pro as long as he puts his mind to it

What's your reasoning? In my opinion, he's pretty far from a sure thing.

eidolon · 02-08-10, 11:10 PM

bench warmer

Oh, ok. You said "of course he will make an outstanding pro". I thought maybe you knew something i didn't. I hope he succeeds too. I'll pull for him.

Reynolds can be a Eddie House type of player in the NBA.

He could be. I could see that.

When Eddie was in college, he was a ridiculous scorer, a lot of people forget that. He even scored 60-something one game.

rm18 · 02-09-10, 01:15 AM

I am rooting for Reynolds now picking VIllanova to win it all but do not think he can play in the NBA, he has scoring ability but really nothing to offer the NBA. No size, athleticism, defense, reounding passing, and I don't think he has anywhere near the spot up jumper of Eddie House.

BernardMadoff · 02-09-10, 01:19 AM

I dont see his game being that effective in the NBA, his best bet seems to be overseas. With that said, many college players come to life in the pros and show you things you didnt see before.

Shortstop · 02-09-10, 02:53 AM

Sure, why not?

Vincepcion · 02-09-10, 05:36 AM

reynolds has a more aggressive game than house, but hes not quick enough to do damage against the rondo-type defenders who will make life tough for them....if he had a shot like house he could stick around

i personally think his only shot at the nba is as a 3rd PG....if allan ray couldnt stick around then neither can reynolds imo

JohnAnthony · 02-09-10, 05:47 AM

Who does he play for?

jjgold · 02-09-10, 06:42 AM

Villanova

It is hard to say actually, most likely no but you never know in the right situation. So many guards in college that are good from small schools to big schools. It is a fine line between making it and not.

floridagolfer · 02-09-10, 07:19 AM

Steve Nash isn't a fabulous shooter and he doesn't have super quickness, but he knows the game and I think that's what Scottie Reynolds has. He makes all the other players on his team better. There are players on NBA rosters with far less talent than what Scottie Reynolds has.

It's so easy to deny the truth when you glue in some superlatives.

Nash is the best shooting point guard in the league and has good quickness. Surely you were referring to his play when he was in a ten and under league somewhere.

AMBlai01 · 02-09-10, 08:12 AM

I just don't know how his skills will translate well at the pro level. Yes he can score but his jump shooting needs a lot of work as his range is lacking and as stated earlier he is a below average passer and lacking in the quickness department. All of those things coupled with the fact that he is undersized makes it difficult to see him making a huge impact in the pros. I think he will float around the league and be a decent back up point guard/shooting guard but that is abotu it. The biggest thing about the pros is how everyone is so much "longer" bigger, taller, faster players everywhere. Those shots that he barely gets off at the college level that go in will now get blocked back in his face.

rm18 · 02-09-10, 12:22 PM

Nash probably the best shooter in NBA history
