3-pointers made per game

Unfortunately Reed’s injury will prevent him from making the rookie year impact that the Phoenix Suns were hoping to get for the 32nd overall pick in this past summer’s draft. When he returns though, while his averages will be exceedingly low (and like Jackson, every stat will be a career-high), if he could set an impressive high in 3-pointers made per game of about one, that would be a stat to be impressed with, and to build upon.

If Reed can show his ability to shoot and play defense in an NBA game similarly to that of his Summer League showing, then Phoenix truly could have found a diamond in the rough in the form of a early second round draft pick.
