Case to Draft Reed Sheppard at #3

It is possible that if Sarr fell, he could start at some point this season over Jabari.... but I have the odds of him being that good really, really low. I don't expect a jump from Jabari, just steady growth.

Everyone else in the draft I think has a roughly zero chance to start for this team unless someone goes down. And really, only Fred or Sengun going down would elevate a rookie into the starting lineup over all our young guys. SG/SF/PF is just too deep for this team.

Maybe. Maybe Jalen Green starts at PG and probably Tari/Jabari/Adams 4/5. If we could get Jalen Green to bring the ball up the floor and throw a pass into Sengun in the first 8 seconds of the shot clock, that would be pretty effective pg play for us. Simple too. But if we draft Sheppard, I think he starts if Fred is out, and we're 20+ games into the season. There are probably a lot of point guards in the draft that could quickly become our backup PG. Collier, Dillingham, Carter, McCain. Topic is more of a project but could be there at the end of his first season, dunno if he plays this year with the ACL.

 

You should already realize we have the smartest fanbase around!

 

The Spurs are going to beat us to a twin towers attack while we're here goofing around with Sheppard and being all starry eyed with Senguns stats. They could trade up for Sarr, Clingan or just take Edey with that #8 pick. If this happens Rockets are done for the next decade at least.

Pray for Sarr and Carter!!!

 

"athleticism was surprising than previously anticipated"

"feedback wasn't a wow factor like the jalen green and amen workouts"

"shot the ball pretty well"

"between reed and clingan at 3"

 

This clip is good too. If you're seeking to see if Sengun and/ or Green are "1A" stars then you have put those 2 in the best situation. ie You can't do that by drafting someone who needs another 4 seasons to reassemble his shooting .


On topic,

 

If Stone lets Reed slip to the Spurs, that would be a fireable offense, in my opinion.

 

It's actually hilarious how many things have completely contradicted DD since he tried to bullshit that he was a real insider...Like I don't think I've ever seen somebody look so full of **** so quickly. Hella impressive.

 

What did he say?

 

But some of the fans bring down the GPA.

 

I think the basketball takes of Bradeaux and Will have been better than those of other Rockets "influencers" like Iko and a couple others who are anti-Sengun.

 

YAY......

 

here is the deal guys
spurs want reed not zacharie
and they want him badly
spurs willing to trade 4 and 8 for 1
trying to get hawks to take reed and then trade back with them
hawks need salary relief
spurs willing to give salary relief plus 4 and 8 to get the hawks to take reed
spurs know rockets are likely taking reed at 3 and that they cannot do a deal with washington for 2 because rockets will take sarr at 3

rockets know all of this
and rockets want reed for themselves
if atlanta takes reed at 1 rockets are likely going to mess up any spurs hawks deal by taking the Klingan and trading him to another lottery team
and the hawks know this too

cat and mouse game

 

All right, 1 more full day to go.

 

Wait, that means if he struggles, we can't say, "He's only 19!"

 

And since Clingan makes absolutely zero sense it narrows it down.

 

I don’t want Ime making any draft decisions. Dude seems to be having wet dreams over his days in Boston. Leave it up to him and we’ll be trading for Marcus Smart smh
