Paul Reed DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Detroit Pistons have re-signed forward Paul Reed on Monday. This news comes two days after Reed was waived by the organization. It sounds like the Pistons attempted to trade Reed, but they couldn't find a legitimate partner. They've decided to bring him back as depth, but he's unlikely to make an impact in the rotation with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart both healthy. Reed is averaging 4.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 10 minutes per game this season. Fantasy managers can ignore Reed with him playing a minimal role off the bench right now.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Pistons are waiving forward Paul Reed. The 2020 No. 58 overall pick began his career by spending four years in Philadelphia, where he had some productive showings. But after the Sixers waived him, he was claimed by the Pistons. Unfortunately, things didn't work out in Detroit, with Reed averaging only 4.8 points in 12 games. He'll likely draw plenty of interest from clubs around the National Basketball Association, especially from teams looking to bolster depth. But regardless of where Reed lands next, he'll need minutes before earning a place on fantasy rosters.

Philadelphia 76ers center Paul Reed will return to the starting five on Wednesday versus Memphis. Reed has been Philadelphia's main starting center since Joel Embiid (knee) dropped out of the lineup, but 76ers head coach Nick Nurse had preferred to run Mo Bamba with the starters in the previous three games. Bamba hasn't done much in the elevated role, and now it's time for Reed to boost his stock again. The 2021 G League MVP has recorded 10.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in the first unit this season. However, he faces a difficult challenge on Wednesday against Jaren Jackson Jr., the NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Nicolas Batum will also be back among the 76ers starters on Wednesday.
