    No that guy measures people for a living, he's an expert (lmfao.) Edit, the irony of bobby trying to call people low IQ is so tangible you can probably play ball with it. What an asshat.

    No, I actually train athletes-in multiple sports. I’m privy to the process.
    You don’t have to like it, but facts are facts.

    his fanboys are the loudest on here. if he was as good as they are loud, he would be an all-star.

    Jimmer Ferdette was better.

    Reed can't do anything out there

    I’m shocked at how bad his defense is…it was Trae Young/Isaiah Thomas level, but he brings nowhere near their level of offense

    he was getting abused

    Is he playable in the playoffs?

    I think I’ve seen enough. I think JD needs to get a shot.

    yes but the combine and the NBA went ahead and posted it anyways I guess we should take everyone’s stats with a grain of salt now.We need to just go off clutchfans posters eye test. The combined IQ on this board is getting lower every day.

    Reed really needs to improve his defense substantially before the Rockets consider starting him or giving him more than 25-30 minutes. Pretty much every OKC player with a hint of ball-handling skills was licking their chops every time Sheppard was on the floor.

    Playoffs? He wasn’t playable last night. BBQ chicken defensively. His handles are poor for a guard. He can make an occasional good pass, but he’ll follow that up with a turnover. He’s forcing shots off balance. He ignored KD several times. I was very disappointed. To me he’s still a rookie. At this stage he’s an undersized shooting guard.

    he deserves time to figure it out, but holy crap he’s nowhere near ready to take on a big role. Should Reed start? Are u f#cking kidding me? It’s like people haven’t watched the guy play. Let’s work him in and give him a chance to contribute and play positive basketball before anointing him the second coming of Mark Price or Steve Nash or any other short white guy guard comparison people keep throwing out there. Jesus.
