    I'm curious about Reed's progress moving forward. He hasn't shown anything.....this could very well be the draft pick that cost us. Even Shed looks better than him, more NBA ready.

    I wanted Kel'el Ware, a player with length, size and a shooting touch, which it's showing we could use.

    I’m here for Lansanity and Uncle Jeff doing his best Deke (RIP) impression of becoming an above average starter despite playing 0 minutes for months at a time.

    I think Reed is on the wrong team and in the wrong situation. He needs to be on a tanking team where he can play meaningful minutes. We are not the right situation for him. We needed to trade for a quality backup PG. Reed Shephard might become a good player someday but it's not gonna happen this season or even next season on the Rockets.

    My dude, Shead is three years older and had three years more college ball experience than Reed. Of course he looks more NBA ready, if he wasn't he'd never have been drafted at all because nobody wants a college senior who can't already play good NBA ball--those guys are already nearly done developing as basketball players.

    You really need to start thinking about the context before you make comparisons between young players. You do this over and over again and it's just silly and is nothing remotely close to how actual NBA teams and front offices think.

    Well, we might start out by not having 3 starters and 2 key bench players sitting on the bench with injuries/load management

    Any win is a good win right now. This has been a brutal stretch of the schedule with injuries on top of it.

    Please list every basketball team you've ever seen that was better having 3 starters down to injury. Go.

    Jalen's definitely banged up and I'm not sure how you didn't know this. His knee has been sore the last few weeks

    Stone is running of GM of the year. Worried for what?
