Think that Reid will help WF, but the expectations seem a little unrealistically elevated here (assuming the waiver is granted).
For the 2023 season, Reid played 10 or more minutes twice in 37 games for Gonzaga, and he accumulated a total of 15 points, 4 rebounds and 1 blocked shot in Gonzaga's last 22 games of the 2023 season. He had 10 DNPs over that span. His O rating was 85.9.
If you want to throw out the 2022-23 season because Gonzaga was very good (I think WF's hopes to at least be pretty good), in 2022 at LSU, Reid averaged 6 ppg, 4 rpg and less than one block a game for LSU. His "O" rating for that season was 96.7 (average is 100).
Understand that Reid is older now and think our staff is strong at maximizing potential, but in a two year sample size, Reid hasn't yet shown that he's a dominant or even really good inside presence offensively or defensively. Think Reid could be a useful player and hope the NCAA grants the waiver, but feel like the love he is getting over Marsh may be unwarranted. At least, would like to see them both play in our system before making minutes and contribution projections.
