Reed developed a reputation as a good shooter who can defend four positions.[5] As a senior he was named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Third Team and All-Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Team, as well as earned the Skip Prosser Award for Scholar Athletes.[6]

Professional career[edit]

Phoenix Suns (2017–2018)[edit]
