No. 1 Salt Lake City Stars pick Willie Reed brings NBA experience, holds close ties to Utah Jazz

SALT LAKE CITY — Winters in Utah can get cold.

That’s why Willie Reed is prepared to dress for the occasion as he starts a new chapter of his basketball journey.

“Luckily, I still have my same coat from when I was with the Brooklyn Nets,” said Reed, who was drafted No. 1 overall during Saturday’s NBA G League draft by the Salt Lake City Stars.

“So, I still have that plain black coat in here so I’m going to make sure I bring a lot of sweatpants and hoodies, couple pairs of socks and make sure I bring my Timberland boots,” he added.
