There was a time when I considered Naz “Big Nazty” Reid to be the second coming of Jeff Adrien. I know that, for a lot of you, that comparison lacks any meaning at all because you don’t know who Jeff Adrien is. And I also know that, for a different segment of my viewership, you think that comparing Reid to Adrien means that I think Reid is a bad player. I assure you, that could not be further from the truth. I hold Jeff Adrien in the highest of esteem. On my OFFICIAL ESTEEM POWER RANKINGS, Jeff Adrien is at #15, right between Khris Middleton and Jason Kapono. Getting compared to Jeff Adrien is a high honor that I don’t give out lightly.
What’s even more amazing is that Reid might actually be BETTER than prime Jeff Adrien, and Reid is only in his second year. Reid is averaging twenty points per 36 minutes, surpassing Adrien’s best per-36 numbers by a significant amount. So we might have to bump up the comparison even further and say that Reid is the second coming of Reggie Evans, but with fifty times the scoring prowess.
Unfortunately, as long as Reid and KAT are on the same team, KAT is going to get priority in the rotation, and Reid will never receive as large a role as he is capable of handling. Most of the solutions to this conundrum involve either one or the other player going to a different team, but you could also just play KAT at small forward, which would then allow the coaching staff to figure out whether Reid works best as a power forward or a center. Once that’s figured out, you could move KAT to the PF/C spot not occupied by Reid, play them both 45 MPG per game, and coast to championships until their bodies get run down from overuse. This plan also involves signing both Jeff Adrien and Reggie Evans as backups. I don’t know if Jason Kapono is still alive, but if he is, sign him as a backup too.
Will someone please explain to me how I’m not a GM yet?
