Injury forcing Reed to step up as a vocal leader
It is crazy to think that spraining a knee can ever be a good thing for a player, but that might be the case for Clemson guard Marcquise Reed.
It’s not that Reed’s performance on the floor has been bad this season. The senior is currently third in the ACC in scoring at 19.4 points per game and is shooting 47 percent from the field, while averaging 5.1 rebounds per game.
However, Reed’s leadership is where he needed to grow the most this year and since spraining his knee in Clemson’s win over St. Peter’s on Dec. 4, the guard is seeing things in a new light.
