Even though the team had finished at the top of the heap with a 6-2 win-loss slate in the ongoing PBA Governor’s Cup eliminations, the grand-slam seeking Talk N Text Tropang Texters are leaving no stone unturned. Reports have it that the Tropang Texters are bringing in former Villanova Wildcats star guard Scottie Reynolds to replace NBA veteran Maurice Baker as its import reinforcement beginning the playoffs. TNT head coach Chot Reyes seems not content with Baker’s inconsistent game. Baker submitted norms of 15.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game in eight outings for TNT during the elims. Tapping Reynolds might truly help Reyes and his charges in attaining their goal of a triple crown this season. The 6-2, Huntsville (AL) native starred for Herdon HS Hornets during his prep days before embarking on a four-year stint with the Wildcats. He averaged 16.02 points in 139 total games for Villanova. Reynolds became the second highest scorer in Wildcats history with 2,222 career points. He was not picked during the 2010 NBA draft and then played four outings with Prima Veroli in the Italian pro league. He posted norms of 12.3 ppg and 2.5 apg in his short Italian stint. Reynolds later resurfaced with the Springfield Armor in the NBA D-League, where he averaged 13.1 ppg, 3.8 rpg, and 5.9 apg in 46 appearances. Reynolds is said to be a master of the “pick-and-rolls”, plays good team basketball, and is a decent shooter offensively, according to Draft Express.
“Looking at his game, Reynolds is doing a lot of his damage operating out of pick-and-rolls, something his team's offense relies heavily on. He does a good job recognizing multiple options and keeping his head up, getting most of his assists in this manner either hitting the screen man or an open shooter in the corner.
“As for his own offense, Reynolds is shooting well from the perimeter when he gets open looks, being equally dangerous spotting up or pulling up.”
