    I want Risacher over him and he is white genius. He is also 6'9.

    Risacher being 6'9 will be even better than Reed defensively and can get his shot off better than Reed as well.

    Risarcher has a black father, don’t think he’s considered white

    Matas is interesting but his poor efficiency scares me.

    But to be so big and have decent handles and athleticism is intriguing.

    He doesn't look black at all. So that alone proves you wrong.

    Defense is about way more than how tall you are.

    I thought a person is black or white based on his color? Look at him would any person call him black?

    I like Risarcher, don’t think he’s 6’9.
    And definitely not the shooter Reed is.
    I would take either at 3, but Sheppard adds more to what the Rockets need

    Yes. Fortunately Risacher also has other things in addition to height.

    Jesus. He looks like any other mixed kid.
    You are super defensive today, just admit you’ve been wrong a lot today and move on.

    So does Sheppard … which is why your “he’s unathletic” despite him being athletic, “he’s going to be a defensive liability” despite him having elite defensive stats, and “he’s 6’1 3/4 instead of 6’2” despite plenty of shorter guards without his athleticism having great careers … make it seem like you’ve got something against him that has nothing to do with basketball.

    He can shoot. Not as well as Reed. I like Risacher fine, but he’s way more of a project and he’s nowhere near as athletic.

    I think if we keep the 3rd pick, I'd prefer one of the oversized wings.

    No, I'm spelling out to you how some of the best PG's in the history of the game were shorter or less athletic than Sheppard. I thought I had made that clear.

    How the hell am I super wrong today? You all make dumb **** up and then say I'm defensive? I didn't even know Risacher's parent us black so how does that even prove I don't like Sheppard because he is white?

    We all have different takes. I like what RS brings to the table but at 6'1 with 6'3 wingspan I think that's a waste for a top 3 pick. Y'all think he'll be the next Steph, Kyrie, Cp3 ok that's fine but I never bet on a prospect being as good as existing superstars esp at top 3. I'd rather go for someone like Risacher or Cody Williams.

    Lots of players are taller and more athletic than some of these guys why does that matter? They didn't become superstars due to their athleticism.
