@@ADMitchellandXavierWorthy sheppard isn’t a top 3 player of this draft 😂 he was just a perfect fit for the rockets roster cause all they had was justin holiday for a backup.
Reed Sheppard = Mark Price...a former NBA All-Star & Olympian Gold Medalist. His game, size, demeanor, all reminds me of Mr. Price. Houston did great with this pick IMO.
Ouch you guys are reaching to much. He's more of a garrisson matthews remember that white guy who shoots 3's for the rockets but somehow got lost in the rotation. Yeah bs move by front office again, not surprising though.
Rockets just got the NBA's next Chris Paul and/or John Stockton. This team's gonna be scary good next year. Their rotation could be 12-men deep (if you include Uncle Jeff) with no drop off in quality of play.
I was so happy when we drafted him he’s I don’t think people realize how bad we were at three-pointers and I love Thompson and I think he’s really good, but having them on the court, we need excellent three point shooters around him especially with Alp and we got the best three point shooter in the entire draft. He’s pretty much a slightly taller for Fred
I like the pick but it's not a done deal that he's gonna be a lights out shooter in the nba. College and nba are two different beasts entirely. Jabari was a great shooter in college and he's just now starting to get there.
In the interview, Reed did not directly compare himself to Chris Paul but he really likes his game and calls him a very smart player. It seems he might be wanting to take on similar role. Nothing flashy just get the job done. Good pick it seems with this mindset.
@@drkwsherrill I have too...crunching their college stats shows a lot of similarities. Even though I do not see Reed being boring to watch in the NBA. Stockton was a master P&R/3&D guard with a mid-range...that was because he had Malone all those years. Reed will have way move options to work with on the Rockets. This is going to be very fun to watch.
The Rockets didn't need a long term potential superstar prospect. They already have 3 maybe 4 players you can make that argument for. Rockets desperately lack quality defined role guys and that's something Reed Sheppard brings.
I personally don’t think any of those guys are superstar potential. I don’t doubt they have the potential to be all stars, but not a #1 on a franchise contender.
Rockets should keep The same starting lineup this upcoming season and then the following season. Put Thompson starting at pg and Whitmore at SF.With Shepard and Eason playing off the bench
Same starting lineup this upcoming season and in the next season. Trade or move Brooks and Van fleet out of the starting lineup in favor of Thompson and Whitmore. I feel like one more year of development for both Johnson and Whitmore is needed. A line up of Thompson, Green, Whitmore, Smith Jr. And Sengun. With Eason and Shepard off the bench would be a killer rotation for the rockets
@@noshowjoe6596Eason is not getting benched behind Whitmore lmao y'all silly asf Udoka likes all around players which Eason is much better at then Whitmore currently
@@NOJSIP Reed is a better shooter but his athleticism is more similar to Ginobili also his slashing ability compares and his ability to get steals. The interesting thing is Reed wasn't really viewed as a great shooter coming out of high school. I think he shot in the mid 30%s in HS.
@@Steveooter It was historically one of the weakest draft classes bro. They can only draft from the pool of available players. So take your weak attempts at comedy and shove it.
Hhhhhmmm, last time Houston picked a silent 3pt assassin.....Big Game Bob Horry And no, I'm not saying he's like that but....don't leave him open for a second.
Pairing him with Jalen Green, Amen Thompson and Alperin Senguin will be 🔥. These guys are great at getting to the cup and when the double teams come Reed is going to make them pay. Give it 1 1-2 to 2 years and the Rockets will start to contend. 🏆
It’s not talked about of how good Jalen Brunson was coming out and he dropped to early second round I think. I like the comparison, this guy can just flat out play
He can jump and he is a good perimeter defender. That’s what the current NBA covets, 3 and D. The fact that Calipari took so long to get it is another reason he’s gone. He just got too caught up in being an NBA portal and forgot that Kentucky fans want to win.
Great this great pick that, but do people know rockets have too many guards, I mean people where saying jalen green should be benched for withmore, amen, tari, holliday, vanfleet and many others. Now they gonna say reed sheppard should start over jalen. The hell are the rockets front office smoking, this pick sucks. Matas buzeles or something should have drafted, comes of the benched for jabari when he struggles. Another bs move by rockets, I mean compare them to okc the way the front office makes really great moves like getting caruso, giddy is good but he needs the ball to be effective caruso just plays the way the team needs him to. Just bs pick by rockets not surprised though, hope jalen gets traded somewhere else.
Do more research. Whitmore and Tari aren't even guards, and Holliday is decent but easily tradeable. As for OKC, Giddy was horrible. That's why OKC bailed on him.

Yeah, I definitely don’t see CP3 as a comp for him, but I can see that he’s tried to take a little from his game.
I see him as John Stockton re incarcenated
I was gonna say the same thing!😄 Was just looking at Stockton's stats.
Way more athletic with a 42 inch vert. More like Manu Ginobili the Argentine.
Totally agree, but a bit more shooting, rebounding and D (vertical)

Reed is the best shooter, but absolutely not the best perimeter defender. Castle, Holland, Carter etc are better.

I absolutely love this pick.

Rockets definitely have options, make a push with current squad or trade
He’s the same height as curry and he’s taller than Chris Paul give him a chance😂
one player that i hated growing up bcuz he was a rockets killer and he reminds me of him john stockton!!!

Reed is a cold MFer
I’m just confused why they drafted another guard.
Reed is really like that, John Stockton an curry combine
Right handed Manu Ginobili more like. I never saw Stockton with a 42 inch vert.
