Can Bball Paul be stretch 5 Sixers need?

Paul Reed is a fascinating guy.

On the court, he possesses great size, skill and versatility while also being hyper active on both ends. Off the court, you can just tell he’s having more fun than anyone else playing the sport he loves. Both aspects have endeared him to the Sixers — the front office, the coaches, his teammates, the fans.

But the biggest questions for Reed entering his second NBA season are can he help the Sixers this year and how? Sunday night’s Summer League loss may have provided a little clarity.

Playing exclusively at the five, Reed put up gaudy numbers — 27 points, 20 rebounds, four assists, four blocks, and four steals.
