Case to Draft Reed Sheppard at #3

Jeremy Lin

 

Good head on his shoulders.

 

I'm fully against Reed at 3. There is no sane argument to pick him there. I'm guessing he ends up outside the top 10.

 

Solid troll post, but a touch too obvious of one.

 

Bro I would rather have Reed over a Knecht like some mocks have and Spurs taking Reed at #4........

 

Topic is the obvious choice if medicals look okay. I'll wager you whatever you want that he becomes a much better player than Reed (who I like) but will never be anything more than a role player. No trolling just my opinion.

 

Topic might make it in the NBA, but it's certainly not a given. He can't shoot, he'll be a major liability on defense... but his passing could be good.

Sheppard will make it in the NBA because he's one of the best shooters on the planet, he should be a solid to plus defender at the 1, and his gravity and BBIQ should make him a long time starter.

I wouldn't be upset with Topic, but he won't help the Rockets immediately if ever and there's clearly a better and safer pick.

I will be upset if San Antonio get Sheppard as a result though.

 

So let’s make a wager. I’ll bet you that if we don’t take Sheppard SA won’t either. Loser leaves the board forver . Okay ?

 

What a weird bet. Just set an over under. I’ll bet he goes in the top seven. 8 is a push. 9 and lower you win.

 

Fine by me.

 

$50 to the tip jar?

 

You are betting me?

 

sure

 

Okay

 

Why would I bet something will happen that I'm hoping won't happen? It would be lose-lose.

I don't make bets without even a potential winning scenario.

 

I hear you. I only bet with H77 because I don’t mind donating money to the tip jar. Kinda got suckered into that…

 

Topic is no Doncic, Rubio, Wemby, or Sengun. The Adriatic League is a 2nd to 3rd rate league in Europe at best. Anything short of utter dominance is questionable for an NBA prospect.
