Reid Travis’ struggles are because his game is evolving

Reid Travis’ Bahamas performances certainly weren’t bad, but they were also certainly less than perfect.

That isn’t necessarily surprising. The two-time All-Pac 12 player has to transition to a new team and a new culture. But he’s also making a transition in his individual game.

According to James Clark, a Philadelphia trainer who worked with Travis while he was testing the NBA Draft, the goal was to make Travis more versatile, and less about the physically imposing play that he’d thrived on.

“Making Reid a stretch four was our intent,” Clark said in an interview with Jon Hale of the Louisville Courier Journal.
