Watching the Wolves laughable interior "defense" where the don't even bother to put their hands up to contest the driving layups. Something to be said for a rim protection.
 

Only with a giant leap forward next year in his offensive game. His curl shot near the basket are flat as a pancake and he essentially has no offensive game outside of the paint. I love Reggie for how he contributed this year but more likely is Europe. There is nothing wrong with playing in Europe making decent money; wish I had the skills to have done it for a few years.
 

Agreed. He has a very solid shot to get an NBA paycheck.
 

The NBA is built for guys with high upside. Reggie isn't a great athlete, is short for a center at the pro level and offers virtually nothing offensively at that level.

I feel like he's a guy that won't make a roster at the beginning of the season but could be picked up at some point due to injuries. He can be a backup guy who is more of a defensive specialist.

Not sure this will happen but I think it is possible.

I can see your scenario but I still doubt it. He plays below the rim on offense and he struggles guarding face up Bigs. He's good helpside but not as good in 1 on 1 situations on the block. Plus he's foul prone and can't score in the post. I love Reggie, but I don't see him in the NBA unless he improve offensively and athletically. Plus he's not 6'10. He's seems closer to 6'8 than what he is listed.
 

I think he could be a Greg Smith type of guy in the NBA. Smith last year played late in the season for the Wolves after being brought up from the D-league. Played after all our injures and we inked to a few 10 day contracts and then for the rest of last years season.
 

Hey, Theo Ratliff (the Sultan of Swat!) carved out a 15 year NBA career based primarily upon his prowess for blocking shots, so I would never say never regarding Lynch's chances at the big show. Both players are the same listed height too, although Ratliff was much more a lean and wiry 6'10 whereas Lynch is just about as thick and solid as a brick wall. If you regard the ability to block shots as being a gift though, Lynch is clearly gifted in that regard just as Ratliff was, so who knows.
