Reed Sheppard is the Rockets’ Franchise Player™

. " He is one of the best shooters in the league. We're going to need his shooting and ball handling. And we're not going to scheme around him to hide him. We switched him on Morant. Every day is a learning experience for him." -Ime-

 

Reed is a liability at times. He has a good block and steal rate.

The idea is by the end of the year he's going to be much better. His draft profile references him being a good defender at the next level.

We saw what Ime did with Jalen. Give him time to coach up Reed.

 

Well, highest vertical and above average speed is something isn't it?

 

Castle on the court is useless. He can't run an offense. He can't shoot. He's not a great defender based on modern metrics despite playing with Victor.

Castle is JAG

 

Like if someone put Russ Westbrook into Okogie's body....

 

That was the lunch time interview, right?

Certainly encouraging to see Ime behind him... we know how important discipline and defense is to him.

 

Holiday has better handles and he pass better than Reed. Actually he's more consistent shooting than Reed too and I think he deserves more PT.

However, Im curious what do you see in Reed that gives you the impression that he is going to be a starter or a star level player?

Im not being condescending, I just want to know, because when Cam Spencer came off the bench for Memphis and scored 19pts in 19 mins, nothing gave me the impression that he was going to be a star! And he looks better than Reed does to me.

 

Its called saying the right things to increase his trade value

 

They aren't trading him so that makes no sense.

 

Castle is a starter on a 5-2 Spurs team
Reed is bench player on a 5-2 Rockets fighting to stay ahead of Holiday in rotation

 

Go be a Spurs fan. Pretty simple

 

Not at all. In this same interview slot, a year ago, he said: " We've taken Cam aside and told him we don't play one on one defense here."
Did the same with Green. "We keep talking to him about making the pocket pass."
He never gives coach speak on the MT show. Caserio and Ryans that's always coach speak.

 

Although I have a suspicion that there is significant overlap between the groups, what's more embarrassing, Jalen Green fanbois who pretend to be Rockets fans, or Stephon Castle fanbois who pretend to be Rockets fans?

 

And Castle was a starter on a terrible Spurs team last year that got them a top 5 pick.

So comparing 7 games this year to an entire season last is silly.

 

The spurs have been outscored by more with castle playing than the rockets with reed playing.

 

Especially when you consider that both seasons his team was considerably worse with him on the court than off the court. That's especially true this far this season

 

Castle is useless? Tell me you don’t watch basketball without saying you don’t watch basketball lol

 

What evidence do you even have that Holiday does either of those things better? Especially the passing claim. Im genuinely curious.

 

Blatant agenda pushing lmao

 

There's no suspicion... they're both Jalen and Castle fanbois pretending to be Rockets' fans.
