This year, if you look at the numbers, it's not good for Shingun defensively, but it is what it is.

I'll let people figure that out on their own.

As far as Reed, you know, Reed didn't make any threes tonight.

He was 0 for 4 from deep, but he did have a lot of the CP3 sort of snaking, you know,

working around defense, using screens and kind of hit that pull-up mid-range, which was nice.

But defensively, there were definitely, I mean, if you want to see, watch the game, times where they were looking for the switch, targeting him and going at him.

And I did think the moments when you had Reid and Shingun on the floor, it was really tough.

That pick and roll defense between those two is going to be incredibly hard to figure out.

And that's a whole other discussion we could save for another day as far as, you know, long-term build.

But, you know, because Reid and Shingun are two significant prospects for this team, but do they fit?

But that's another thing that we'll figure out.

Go ahead.

Yeah, so overall read, 3 of 8 tonight.

It was minus 4, so he must have been, I believe, plus 6 in the second half, which is kind of more his MO as well.

Rougher first half, better second half.

I don't know that for sure, but I remember he was minus 10 at one point.

Yeah, I mean, I still feel like Reid's going to be fine.

The defense is just, it is what it is.

And in the playoffs, we'll see.

That's still a long ways away, but it could be an issue that Emei will have to navigate.
