Reynolds

Reynolds will battle it out for a roster spot in camp in the hopes of making it as a backup to Devin Harris.

Reynolds was expected to battle for a roster spot, but he lasted just a week with the team. Utah also waived Keith McLeod from the active roster.

Reynolds was signed by the Jazz before the 2011-12 season, but he lasted just one week on the roster and was waived before the year began. Reynolds is better off playing overseas, where he’ll have a larger role than he could ever dream of in the NBA.

Reynolds worked out for seven different teams and said recently that he is confident he can play in the NBA. His stock could improve after one more season at Villanueva, but by all accounts the 2010 draft class is stronger than this year’s.

Reynolds will likely make more money in Italy than he could have as a bench warmer in the NBA, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t return state-side next season.

Reynolds is the first undrafted All-American since the NBA-ABA merger, an embarrassing distinction for a player with such moxie and heart. But with poor size, very little quickness and an inconsistent jumper, we doubt Reynolds will ever see the floor in an NBA game.

According to agent Arn Tellem, he’s in talks with the Suns right now about a potential contract. Still, consider Reynolds a long shot to make the team. He isn’t going to beat out Goran Dragic for the backup PG job and the Suns would be better served using that roster spot on someone with more upside. Reynolds is a better fit for the D-League or Europe.
