Derek Reed is Farmingdale State’s steady point-guard engine with a real two-way pulse
In the 2025-26 season, Derek Reed has been a reliable junior guard for Farmingdale State, averaging 5.5 points and 3.0 assists per game while starting 16 of 17 games and logging 17.0 minutes a night[1][4]. His calling card is composure: he protects the ball, creates for others, and chips in on the glass and defensively with 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steal per game in his early 2025-26 sample[3][4]. He also showed real scoring pop last season, including a career-best 17-point outing on 8-of-10 shooting, which hints at upside when the shot is falling[13][14].
