Paul Reed

Despite ending the 2021-22 season as the 344th ranked player, Reed showed enough to hold his place on the roster. With DeAndre Jordan no longer a factor, Reed could get looks at backup center, though the Sixers shored up the position with Montrezl Harrell. Obviously, this does not bode well for his value, although he is certainly a name to watch should Embiid go down with an injury at some point. Per 36 minutes last season, he averaged 13.8 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.9 steals, 1.9 assists and 1.7 blocks.

Reed saw sporadic run with the 76ers last season, appearing in 26 games and averaging 3.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 6.8 minutes. However, he was a key piece of the organization's G League squad, the Delaware Blue Coats. There, he was named the 2020-21 MVP behind 22.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.8 blocks. He also impressed with shooting splits of 59/44/79. Unsurprisingly, he was excellent during 2021 Summer League, averaging 17.4 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.6 steals, 2.2 blocks and 2.2 assists in 29.3 minutes. Paul will again be battling for reserve frontcourt/wing minutes this season. He'll have to fight off Georges Niang for backup minutes behind Tobias Harris. He may assert himself as the primary backup, but he probably won't be fantasy-relevant even if that's the case. While Reed can be ignored in redraft leagues, he's certainly an intriguing deep dynasty prospect given his G League pedigree and great per-minute stats.
