He looks like the poster boy for an HEB commercial target. I can already see him in his kitchen eating Ice Cream and talking to FVV about some nonsense and how he always gets his ice cream from HEB.
So I guess we drafted Reed. Based on the cover photo we don't know. Why does it take Clutch and his staff so long to update these images?
Let's be real? One could also say those who wanted Evan Mobley and can't let go that the Rockets drafted Jalen Green, only want to prop up Reed Sheppard to somehow justify themselves and their missed draft choice. Or White people propping up Reed to hero status to excite the white fan base. Jimmer was easily better than Reed Sheppard coming out of college. Can't accept it that Reed may follow the same pathway. I understand that whites makeup about 64% of America, 19% Latinos, 13% Blacks. Building the team to appease the greatest majority of the fanbase is ok. I accused Utah and Boston as meeting quotas of white players on the roster. Houston might be going for that as well. Selling tickets is kinda important to Tilman. FVv - Reed - Markkanen - Sengun - Landale (FVv being mixed but looks white is acceptable) (add the McVeigh kid from Australia and drop FVv) I'm sure an all white lineup appeases many here. Selling tickets does not always jive with winning championships. I don't have a horse in this race being, I'm Latino....Hernangomez doesn't move the needle either.

What in the heck? Is this a parody post or something? And @Stephen_A likes it too. What dork brigade is running around Clutchfans these days. My god guys. Where the mods at for this garbage?
Did you guys eat a lot of paint chips when you were kids? Usually you’d want to beat back some of the drooling hordes for the sake of Clutchfans, but my god, I’m not sure where I will find the energy for these knuckleheads.
Says the dumbass who interjects on other’s discussion to prove an unrelated point due to a personal self imposed crusade.
Sure, it could be all of that hilariously insane ranting nonsense..... or it could just be that Jalen Green has performed poorly the past 3 years.
@ApacheWarrior do you remember when this place called Stephen Silas a racist? "dont you bring up the race card because this place is not like that" ---- riiiiiiight.
Every race tends to push their race. Those denying are blind. I've pushed for Duncan Robinson Tyler Herro Olynyk Austin Reeves Zach Edey Dalton Knecht Favorite players ever are: 1) Hakeem Olajuwon 2) Vernon Maxwell 3) Larry Bird (not ball hog Michael Jordan) ....and I'm Hispanic. Didn't care for Ricky Rubio when others did. I'm all about basketball I watched DMo get a million threads and only start about 72 games as a Rocket. Terrence Jones was better and started and was treated like an ugly step child here. Call it like I see it.
https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/st...pn-poll-rookies-year-best-picks-summer-league Which rookie will prove to be the draft's best pick? Reed Sheppard, Houston Rockets: 7 votes Donovan Clingan, Portland Trail Blazers: 3 Stephon Castle, San Antonio Spurs: 2 Dalton Knecht, Los Angeles Lakers: 2 Bub Carrington, Washington Wizards: 2 Nikola Topic, Oklahoma City Thunder: 1 Rob Dillingham, Minnesota Timberwolves: 1 Zaccharie Risacher, Hawks: 1 One voter preferred not to answer On the heels of a breakout showing at summer league, Sheppard (the Rockets' pick at No. 3) took home the most votes, with "best pick" loosely defined as the strongest intersection of value and fit. There's a good deal of optimism around the league surrounding Sheppard's future, and the prevailing thought is that he might be the next Kentucky Wildcats guard to fully blossom upon his arrival in the NBA. "Sheppard is going to help Houston right away, and I think he has a chance to be an All-Star down the road," one high-ranking Eastern Conference executive said. Sheppard stood out in Las Vegas, looking comfortable as the Rockets' full-time point guard (after splitting duties off the bench in college) and averaging 20 points and 5.3 assists in his four games. The buzz in Las Vegas and optimism around his game was reflected in the voting. Coming in second in our polling was Clingan, who slid to pick No. 7 with the Trail Blazers in part because of the way the board fell. Several teams passed on the draft's top rim-protecting center to address other needs. "I thought [Clingan] was a steal on draft night at 7, but the things he did defensively in summer league were unreal with the impact he made," a different voter offered. "Now they have him shooting trail and pick-and-pop 3s. If he starts making those consistently, that's a game-changer with the way he can pass and protect the rim." Who's your NBA Rookie of the Year pick? Reed Sheppard, Rockets: 7 votes Zach Edey, Grizzlies: 4 Stephon Castle, Spurs: 3 Donovan Clingan, Trail Blazers: 2 Zaccharie Risacher, Hawks: 1 Ron Holland II, Pistons: 1 Dalton Knecht, Lakers: 1 Tristan da Silva, Orlando Magic: 1 Sheppard again garnered the popular vote. He was likely also a beneficiary of summer league bias, but there's an increasing notion that the Rockets will have to find him the level of playing time necessary to contend for NBA Rookie of the Year. The next-most popular pick was Edey, a polarizing prospect who landed in a situation in Memphis that will require him to contribute heavily. His proponents said they believed his experience and outlier physical profile would give him a leg up toward a productive rookie season. "I was at the Utah Summer League and was so impressed by how much [Edey's] game translates," one voter said. "He's in incredible shape and is going to be such a weapon in pick-and-roll with NBA spacing with the way he catches and finishes. He's way more athletic than people realize, and his sheer will is going to get him a bunch of 20-plus-10 outings before New Year's, is my prediction. There's not really another true center on the Grizzlies roster to compete with him for playing time."
You could see it if you just looked around. That's a you thing. Calling a guy a bust after two weeks shows your bias. Which you did with Green his rookie season. The time in which Silas was using Green as a spot shooter In the corner.. You know who also didn't take to being a spot shooter? Ty Lawson. The established vet at the time.
