    To be fair, Jabari has been our second best shooter after Brooks. And he’s a PF. It seems like his shooting will be ok.

    If Reed played Kyle Anderson one-on-one, do you really believe Reed could keep Kyle infront of him ?

    People here talk about Reeds quick hands, but if you watch the games where he plays you’ll see he gets blown by every single time and has to use his hands to swipe at the ball from behind to make up for his **** defense.

    Do you realize how incredibly stupid this premise is?

    The suggestion is that if a ****ing PG can't guard a 6'9 SF one on one it means they are "****" defensively.

    You guys aren't even trying to be taken seriously at this point.

    Clingan had 19 rebounds last time he played us and Edey has had multiple games with over 20 points and 10 rebounds and is among leaders for ROY. Now you want to respond back with just one thing that Reed has done as an NBA player and please don’t say that he’s shooting 100% on his three free throws he’s had since October.

    The point is it's a stupid premise.....I hope you are smart enough to understand that.

    Reed probably strips him if it really happens, but again, that wasn't my point.

    Also, are you REALLY dumb enough to think guys like CP3 are faster than Sheppard?

    Again, I'm not sure how you ended up so delusional, but you aren't even attempting to be taken seriously.

    … so what you’re saying is the only person Reed Shepard is faster than is 40 year old Chris Paul hahaha. Reed is a bust.

    No, I just picked out one that was obvious....the fact you included it shows how delusional you are.

    When you lead with an absolutely moronic premise, you aren't going to get an in depth response because the entire thing is absurd on it's face.

    Now if you attempt to return to reality and go with a premise that deserves more attention, we can go from there.

    Reed was definitely worse than JJ Redick in college… and that dude was a bust in the NBA. Idk what you see in Reed that makes you think he can play in a much much more athletic league then JJs time

    Lol so a one year college player compiled fewer stats in college than a 4 year college player? Lol.

    It's okay, I get you are probably trying but the comparison itself shows what your real issue with him is.

    I said possible exception, because he can possibly be good with a shot, just like Reed. Neither will amount to sh*t without one.

    The difference of course being that Castle has a broken shot rather than just a cold shooting streak.

    Castle learning how to shoot a basketball from scratch is a lot less likely than a guy with perfect shooting mechanics and a history of amazing shooting simply getting over a cold streak.... but somehow you believe the opposite

    Ah yes, an injury prone permanent backup center.

    Maybe you just don't know ball.

    a backup center is at least playable. Much better than having a guy who is too afraid to shoot.

    No one is "playable" if you refuse to play them.

    There's a solid chance if the Rockets picked your guy Ime would have him riding the bench behind Sengun, Adams, and Landale.

    Would make about as much sense as Sheppard riding the bench for Holiday.

    Sheppard right now is legit unplayable. Can't guard sht, cant shoot for sht and it looks like he's losing his mins to holiday. If his performance actually warrants merit or has a resemblance of an nba player booby would have a better case btching how he's riding the bench while holiday gets mins

    Perfect shooting mechanics but 28% from 3? Here we go again with your delusions of grandeur.

    Brickpard has had a "cold streak" since day 1. Thats like saying Giannis just has a cold streak from 3.

    Castle will still have a career as a defender, rebounder and playmaker even if he can't shoot, like Dyson Daniels.

    Sheppard will be out of the league if he can't shoot.
