While he could have utility in situations where teams need an extra possession, his poor on-court versatility makes it a hard bet.Julian Reese’s NBA career is not over yetThe Wizards and Nuggets might not be interested in giving Reese another shot, but 28 other teams could consider signing the younger brother of the WNBA superstar for his skill set.With him being so young, Reese could spend a few years developing his skills in the G League or cash in on his popularity and start an overseas career where his role can be maximised more efficiently.There are many pure rebounding specialists in the NBA, but even they have had to bolster their game with other skills, primarily shot-blocking or defense.Reese likely won’t block 3 shots a game, but he can use his mobility to become a stronger defender while improving his shooting to prove he can be a rotational NBA big going forward.Read more:Nuggets rumoured to sign six-time All-Star as emergency replacement after losing Peyton Watson‘Straight up terrible’ – NBA fans blast Denver Nuggets after 3-team trade with Cavaliers and ClippersPeyton Watson joins Cleveland Cavaliers, Max Strus moves to LA in blockbuster 3-team NBA trade
