Doc Rivers says Paul Reed is a center, but the 6-foot-9 player is amenable to moving: 'I’m still setting screens and rolling. I feel like I still do the same type of things. But I like switching.”
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Doc Rivers stressed after practice Wednesday that Paul Reed is a center.
“It feels natural,” Reed said of playing his former position at practice. “It’s a bit different. But I feel like I’m doing the same type of things that I would be doing if I played the five. So I’m still playing the same type of role.”He acknowledged that he has to space the floor more and has different assignments at power forward. But while Reed initially tried to downplay playing the position, he acknowledged that it allows him to better utilize his skill set.
“I am happy about being able to switch on and guard smaller defenders,” Reed said. “And playing on the wing, being able to attack from the outside, I like doing that. One would assume that the addition of Montrezl Harrell as the backup center led to Reed’s playing power forward at practice. Rivers said that’s not the case.
