Some of my thoughts after the game and looking at the #s:
Obviously Reid was pretty much everything we hoped for. Despite some awful three point misses, I'm still optimistic he will be a real threat from outside based on his confidence and the postgame comments from Sallis and Forbes. According to the
bart box score he played 27 minutes, probably goes up to 30 if he doesn't start the game on the bench. Carr played 31, which is his season low for games not dictated by foul trouble, which I think is by design and will continue.
One thing I realize I forgot in my assessment of Carr is that he isn't a good rebounder, which is a pretty big issue if he's your 5. On the other hand, Reid had a ridiculous DR% of 43.
The nitpicks are mostly on offense -- Carr had the lowest usage rate of any game this season and I wanna say most of his shots came off offensive rebounds or out-of-bounds plays -- it felt to me like we ran the majority of PnR with Reid with Carr mostly on the perimeter. I was surprised the staff didn't stagger Carr and Reid more -- I don't have access to any of the off/on or lineup data, but I think we had a lot of Keller + Marion with both Carr and Reid on the bench.
Forbes did seem super high on Reid's offense though, so maybe it's an intentional / smart choice to feature him.
