Amari Reed gives UT Arlington a sneaky-efficient frontcourt spark
In the 2025-26 season, UT Arlington forward-center Amari Reed has been a low-usage but high-efficiency big, shooting about 59.6% from the field while contributing 2.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per game. He’s a sturdy 6'8" freshman who brings size, rim activity, and enough defensive disruption to matter on the margins, with his rebounding and shot-blocking suggesting real glue-guy upside. For a team needing a mobile, efficient interior piece rather than a high-usage scorer, he looks like a useful fit with room to grow.
