As a Rockets fan, I’m excited. You got the best young core with potential in the entire NBA. You got the young talent Green, Sengun, Smith Jr., Thompson, Eason, Whitmore, Griffin, and now Sheppard to go with the veteran presence of Brooks, FVV, Adams, Tate and Landale. Yeah this team is a darkhorse.
[00:00] After he had the ball in his left hand, before the ball hit the ground, did he touch it with his right hand? If he did that as an illusion to fake the defender out, that was pretty sweet, if not, that was a travel.
This guy reminds me a little bit of John Stockton, some Mark Price, and add in some Kevin Johnson. Or maybe I should have said Johnny Stockton like Wilt Chamberlin did….😆
If you really look at like let’s say Steph Curry’s metrics coming out of college. Reeds are technically better. However, what you did see was Steph Curry is that he got better. When he got to the league he got exceptionally better and then became a superstar. Steph wasn’t running the point at Georgetown. I honestly think his defense and his playmaking abilities are better than Steph when they were at the same age. You have to take age into account. I think the ceiling is very high. I believe this is the floor. Even if this is his four, he still has a two-way contract basically anywhere. There’s just something about his game that screams floor general. Kings get a little better in a few areas that’s going to come with time. Other than that, he’s an elite player already. But when you say like maxing out metrics for somebody that’s 6. ‘2. He’s basically doing that. I’m very excited to see him play with sengun . I actually think it’ll be perfect.
Am I the only one who still doesn’t have high hopes for reed. Rooting for the kid cause the rockets need some action but I’m really just not that impressed. Try some of the stuff he does when all stars are on the court and it’s a different ball game.
No, you are confused by the PACE he plays at. Just like the commentator said at the end, so many of his shots APPEAR contested, and they are still falling. He’s slick, abrupt, and slimey in his movements. Even when he appears cut off by a defender, he shows that he’s not or has his own angle at the basket. What he has shown this summer league is that he barely needs space, to score the ball. A skill PERFECT for upcoming NBA defenses…Like a QB throwing into tight windows…. Reed is going to be a PROBLEM for defenses. He appears a tad slow, but it’s really just pure court manipulation going on out there by him
ROY potential fosho, but I feel like there’s gonna be a handful of underrated players that come out of this class ngl. Especially since no one knows any of them lmao
Reed Sheppard will have a Caitlin Clark effect on the NBA. Yes, I know. The NBA already makes money and has a large audience, but this guy will bring back some of the fans it lost or will bring them back to watch the games he plays in…
But, that is one of his go-to moves in the paint! Go look at his college highlights. So, he can do that move without double dribbling! Mid-range game is on point with this guy!🤘

He’s cool, calm and collected and it’s really hard to read him on the floor. No pun intended. To the Defense He’s a bit of a nightmare.
