Reed Sheppard is the Rockets’ Franchise Player™

My body is ready for Reed to forget how to shoot. @DreamShook

 

Why did they make him hold that giant beach ball?

Spoiler

 

Ryan Anderson’s depth perception will return

 

I'm ready for the Summer League overreactions. If Reed/Griffin don't each go 6/8 from 3 and Cam doesn't score 35 including sending Bron's kid home in a body bag I'm going to be disappointed.

 

Bro, Nash is on another planet with his handle. IMO. I hope you’re right tho, because if Reed >Nash, The Rockets just drafted a HOF PG!

 

Excited to see Sheppard get hot for at least one game. Not expecting a lot from him. Good 3PT shooting, steady playmaking and safer defense. He likes to gamble, Udoka doesn’t.

 

Reed is hot every game.

@Jontro

 

ngl his handsomeness far exceeds the prettiest nbaers. this is zion level

 

lol. The Rockets curse is strong. Will Reed be The Chosen One to break the curse? I felt he kind of started succumbing to it during the Combine (maybe he knew he would be a Rocket?), but I'm praying he rises above the curse during the season.

 

They used glue to stick the ball on his hand to trick us into believing he has big hands. Or maybe the ball was just AI generated image.

 

The legs of a 42 inch vertical leaper. Put those legs with a great shooter, NBA hasn't seen anyone like him.

 

As long as DD not loving him, he should be okay.

 

We sacrificed Maloney, Brent Price and Bryce Drew so Reed could live. He will break the white boy Stockton curse

 

Agreed and he’s not there yet but he’s got nothing holding him back from that either. We’ll see how badly he wants it, he says the right things but he’s got to prove it now.

 

I think that some of y’all need to be prepared for him to struggle a bit.

I am super curious though to see how he adjusts.

Here is my hot take….. If he is indeed going to be the next Stockton or Nash, we are going to see some pretty finite flashes early in summer league and the first 20 games of the season. That sort of talent is there it might transcend the fact that he is a bit smaller, and that his physical attributes and abilities may be less than average to start.

 

Ray Allen is Reed Sheppard's comp confirmed!

 

Not my goat. Reported.

 

Also Chandler Parsons and chase budinger because they are also white!

 

KPJ greeted Ime at his introductory press conference.

Jalen greeted Reed at the draft.
