    You think he's passing up good shots?

    I think Reed Sheppard will be just fine. He will get used to the awful shooting background at Toyota Center and start hitting the 3's at a league average or better pace. His ability to run the offense is what is most impressive. He doesn't look hurried and is making good/great decisions. He still has a steep learning curve to achieve his potential, but I like the Price/CP3 blend comparisons. He won't be as good as CP3 as a playmaker, but I expect he will be all-star worthy in his prime.

    Me too. He'll probably end up shooting low to mid 30%.

    Reed has enormous potential. I will be shocked if he doesn't become a premier player. May take a year or two.

    He's mature, serious and smart. These 3 traits make him fail proof

    Reed was 44% from the field in the PS.

    Knecht 43%.

    Dalton is such a laughably worse prospect it's funny to even compare them.

    What about their 3 pt percentage? Who's laughably better there? Dalton is playing like his team expected him to play. Reed is not.

    This clown must have typed this at gunpoint. He meant to say, "I've never seen someone look so lost for this many minutes".
    The hype machine is real.

    Who’s the team? I think he is playing how the coach wants that’s why he is getting playing time and positive comments. He’s not playing like you want because you said is is a shorter knecht but he’s playing like a point gaurs not a shooter.

    He needs to improve his handles. Hoping Fred and him work on it this season.

    How do you go from 52% to cut in half?
    You come to the Rockets, that’s how.

    18% 3pt is absolutely disgusting and you Reedlings should be ashamed of yourselves.
