Recruiting

By MATT WHITFIELD

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Naz Reid cut his list to seven schools this week: Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU, Seton Hall, and UCLA.

On Wednesday at the NBAPA Top 100 Camp, the 6-foot-10 big man from Roselle (N.J.) Catholic and the Sports U AAU program, discussed what led to the cut.

“Those schools are the ones that have been contacting me,” he said. “I feel like those schools could be like home. I feel like the culture around those schools is a family culture. I feel like I could be successful at any one of those schools.

Reid said he hoped to visit most of the schools on the list. He’s been to Seton Hall several times, and took a trip to UCLA after a recent AAU stop  in Los Angeles.

NBA Draft

By JACOB POLACHECK

Kentucky freshmen and NBA Draft prospects De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk have both set workouts with the Philadelphia 76ers this week. The 76ers hold the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.

The Sixers confirmed that Monk has an individual workout with the team set for Thursday. Fox will work out for the Sixers this weekend, tentatively Saturday per Keith Pompey.  Fox and Kansas’ Josh Jackson worked out for the Lakers on Tuesday. You can watch Fox’s interview here.

The 76ers on Thursday will also host Oregon’s Dillon Brooks and Dylan Ennis, Villanova’s Josh Hart and Darryl Reynolds, Davidson’s Jack Gibbs, and Tidjan Keita of Thetford Academy.

“One, Philadelphia right now is on the cusp of a breakthrough because they’re going to have guys healthy,” Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari told FanRag Sports. “Their guard play is good, but that’s probably an area that needs to be strengthened. And you look at Malik, I think the interest in Malik is because he can play both one and two and can score the ball. With Malik, what people have talked to me about, the teams: ‘We didn’t realize he was as good in pick-and-rolls as he is.’ I laughed and said, ‘They said the same thing about Eric Bledsoe.’ Both of those guys played with guys that were truer point guards than they were (Bledsoe with John Wall, Monk with De’Aaron Fox), even though they both play the position.”

Recruiting

Moses Brown, the 7-foot-1 junior big man from Archbishop Molloy and the New Heights AAU program, is considering cutting his list later this summer.

Brown is ranked No. 6 in the 2018 ESPN 60 and is being recruited by a Who’s Who of Division 1 programs.

“When the live periods are over, I will think about cutting my school list down before the high school season starts,” he told Rivals.com at the Pangos All-American Camp.

Recruiting, Roselle Catholic

Naz Reid, the 6-foot-10 Class of 2018 big man from Sports U and Roselle (N.J.) Catholic, has cut his list to seven schools.

The No. 11-ranked player in the 2018 ESPN 60, Reid now lists Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU, Seton Hall and UCLA. He cut North Carolina, Rutgers and UConn from his previous list of 10 after previously cutting St. John’s.

“His recruitment is just really starting to get to a point where he’s got to start  making some decisions on a bunch of different things and really start to look at this seriously,” RC head coach Dave Boff said recently on The 4 Quarters Podcast.
