So I'm hoping read will continue to play good minutes, even if he's coming off the bench.

So that's a great question.

I mean, not only that, you got Fred, you know, waiting in the wings next year and had balance there for that too.

I mean, I look at this when Reed starts, you've got a pretty good, strong five and the bench is so weak.

I would love for him to continue to come off the bench, not put all this pressure on him, but increase his minutes.

That's just my personal view.

I'm not saying this necessarily correct because I think you look at it and the bench is, is missing kind of like you said, that stimulus, they need something to,

to kind of run that.

But I do think I'd like to see his minutes at least at about 28.

They've been increasing for a while.

I mean, my personal opinion is I think the Rockets have been doing a pretty darn good job of developing Reid.

And I think the front office, I mean, they said it as soon as they drafted him.

They were so ridiculously high on him.

As a matter of fact, we got mocked at times.

Like they would have taken him number one very clearly from the way that they said if he was not available at number three.

they were going to trade down.

So you're like, okay, so they wouldn't have taken Castle or Klingon or Saar or I guess Risa Shea looks, you know, like a pretty wise decision right now.

But, you know, so I think that they've been a big believers and Imei as well.

It's just Imei is balancing this win now with developing Reed as well.

He loves Reed.
