Milwaukee may not consider a big man like Willie Reed due to their own current frontcourt logjam, but in truth, Reed is exactly the kind of young, inexpensive big the Bucks should be turning to for backup minutes, rather than paying John Henson so much money for so little production.

In relatively limited minutes with both Brooklyn and Miami through his first two seasons in the NBA, Reed has impressed by offering a strong interior presence and a dominant rebounding edge.

Reed has a surprisingly soft touch around the rim, is an effective screen-setter and roll man, who can also get up high to catch lobs or finish powerfully as a trailer in transition. Reed isn’t a household name, but he could be a steal for a smart team this summer.
