Reed to Ease Wembanyama's Load | San Antonio Spurs News

The Spurs just pulled off a bold move, trading up to grab Tarris Reed Jr. — and they’re betting he’s the missing piece to unlock Victor Wembanyama’s ceiling.

Shield Wembanyama from physical matchups, grab rebounds, and set screens that create mismatches. Already showing flashes in summer league — including a slick spin move — Reed could be the unsung hero who lets Wembanyama play his best, mobile game. If he avoids rookie mistakes, he might be the guy Mitch Johnson can’t bench. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
