    For a 3 point sniper 18% shooting in 4 games is disgusting for any season. You know I'm right.

    How would you feel about selectively posting +/- stats for the preseason (instead of, e.g., PER)?

    You are kidding right?

    Dalton Knecht preseason (per game)
    Points......3P%.....3PM.......3PA.....FGM......FGA......FG%
    18.0..........36.0.......3.6.......10.0.....6.2........14.2......43.7
    6.5............18.2.......0.5.........2.8......3.0........6.8.......44.4
    Reed Sheppard preseason

    even Amen Thompson shot 25.0 % from 3 last preseason

    Should we put Reed in the "Dunker Spot?"
    List is getting longer:
    Sengun, Steven Adams, Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard





    No Contest........ flawless victory

    i can quote you on here for the entirety of Reed's career every time he has a night of 40%+ shooting from 3. you can then point to his % in preseason from his rookie year every time in retort.

    cool? cool

    He's trolling. No one is wrong or right about Reed yet. It's insanely premature to judge anything. We're talking about 11 shots.

    Some of y'all sure love reading waaay too much into small sample sizes--in the preseason--from a rookie. It's Friday night, take a deep breath, go touch some grass, then go out and do something fun that involves other real people.

    Curry shot 22% in 8 pre-season games his rookie year. Then shot 40% in his first month of regular season

    just saying

    Yeah I read your joke posting the first time and reading it the second time still screams out joke posting.

    Knecht kicked Reed's @$$ in quantity and substance. Dalton shoots with quick release with a
    guy in his face while Reed was afraid to pull the trigger with a guy 3 feet away.

    Look at the video again.

    I don't think Reed would play like Curry.

    In addition Jabari Smith had 30% 3pt shooting in his 1st regular season. He was drafted as elite shooter. But he is still not good shooter now.

    Did you like Donte Greene more than Steph Curry after the preseason?

    Ya jeezes he's almost 24 already. Also, who cares about this season? We're not trying to compete this season, what matters to the rockets is 2-3 years from now when our guys are older and ready to compete. If you think captain geezer is a better long term prospect then reed i couldn't disagree more

    It was reported the Rockets (Udoka) didn't want any more 2-3 year projects.

    3 of the 4 I mentioned could have contributed day one because of age:
    Knecht
    Edey
    Devin Carter (surgery out......any of these players can get hurt......even at 18 years of age)

    Kel'el Ware can/will be another Dereck Lively.

    If I had my way, I would have traded back and got both Edey and Dalton Knecht (#17 pick).
    Dalton 1 year older than Jalen Green would have fit right in.

    *I'm watching Kel'el Ware and Edey right now.....Memphis vs Miami

    I don't care what ime wants, i care what i want. Ime cares about next season, i care about having the best possible chance to win a title. Those geezers will probably be better than Reed this season, but again, who gives a crap? We're not gonna be relevant this season anyway. Edey i guess could have been an ok backup after adams is gone? But again, who cares, he will never matter.
