The former Iowa State Cyclone standout averaged an impressive 35.0 points and 9.3 rebounds in three games for the Delaware Blue Coats.
HOT STARTS: Josh Jackson, the No. 4 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft on assignment from the Memphis Grizzlies, is off to a good start with the Memphis Hustle. The 6-8 guard-forward is averaging 19.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists for the undefeated Hustle (4-0). Boston Celtics two-way player Tacko Fall is averaging a near double-double with 16.7 points and 9.7 rebounds for the undefeated Maine Red Claws (3-0).

Reynolds is the only Herd player to score in double figures in all five games this season as part of a strong 4-1 start. Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn has made an instant impact in South Florida.
