Tarris Reed Jr.’s slept-on specialty will make Victor Wembanyama’s life much easier

Cal Durrett of Air Alamo argues that San Antonio Spurs rookie center Tarris Reed Jr. possesses an underrated screen-setting ability that will significantly benefit Victor Wembanyama and the team. Although slated as the third-string center behind Wembanyama and Luke Kornet, Durrett believes Reed Jr. could earn meaningful minutes due to his physicality and rebounding prowess.

The writer highlights that San Antonio struggled with screen setting during the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks, noting Wembanyama's limitations in creating separation for perimeter ball-handlers. Durrett suggests Reed Jr.'s picks can open up opportunities for guards like Dylan Harper, collapse opposing defenses, and generate easier scoring chances.
