    I would describe Reed as a sneaky athletic, high basketball IQ, gym rat, coach's son, blue-collar worker, fundamentally sound, gritty player, hard-nosed defender, glue guy, lunch pail guy, first one in last one out, overachiever, crafty with the ball, plays the game the right way, floor general, hustle player, high motor, student of the game, scrappy player, and team-first mentality. Additional phrases include tough as nails, floor burns, workhorse, unselfish player, silent leader, cerebral player, headsy, grinder, plays with heart, savvy veteran, knows his role, lunch pail mentality, overcomes physical limitations, does the little things, consistent performer, defensive specialist, reliable shooter, clutch performer, high-character guy, solid fundamentals, not flashy just effective, brings his hard hat, physical defender, great off the ball, team player, student of the game, mentally tough, self-made player, underrated athlete, floor leader, relentless effort, smart defender, battles in the paint, brings energy, heart and soul of the team, consummate professional, sets good screens, hustles for loose balls, great locker room presence, plays bigger than his size, leader by example, executes the game plan, keeps the team grounded, consistent effort, plays within himself, maximizes his talent, always prepared, great basketball mind, respected by teammates, and never takes a play off.

    The Rockets post Harden have just been on a tear in the draft. In 2021 they brought in Green and Sengun. 2022 Jabari and Eason. 2023 Thompson and Cam Whitmore. And now Sheppard is joining them. This is one of those situations where it's harder to not screw up than to screw up. I don't know how they're going to pay these guys down the road but they have a high ceiling prospect in every single position on the floor and more than one in some positions.

    The reason they haven’t extended Jalen and sengun is for salary cap reasons so they can have flexibility to pick someone up if they can. They are 100% going to extend both of those guys I have no doubt.

      @@bigradwolf5001 Maybe not yet, but Nash wasn’t known for his playmaking coming from college as well. Nash also was in the shadow of Kidd and KJ for the first few seasons before given the chance of PG, which he earned by coming off the bench being efficient. Sheppard does have athleticism compared to Nash. I think this guy is a gem when it’s all said and done, and I’m not even a Rockets fan but a Suns fan.

    Rockets needed a guy who could hit the jump shot. Too many times last season they needed a bucket to stop the momentum or to really step on the opponents throat, but would miss. They have plenty of slasher/iso guys who can kick it out to Reed to start. Once he gets his legs under him, he will eventually be a Mark Price type player only I expect him to be better. Looking forward to next season!

    Rockets got some contracts expiring next year and there are going to be some odd man out. Sengun? Green? They are both going to be restricted free agents where the rockets can match the offer. I think the rockets are just waiting for other teams to give offers first to match and to see how well green and sengun progress this year.
