    Reed sucks because he sucks not because he's white.

    Yeah. A 68 year old white guy that hates white people. Sounds like the far left elite to me.

    This aint it.
    Just trade out all together we need proven guys for the playoffs not unproven undersized midgets.
    The idea of this guy & the reality of it are 2 different things.
    This guy is not even close to Jalen Brunson lol who won a national championship in college.

    Please more undersized guards!!!
    We currently have 4 guards under 6'2

    Rockets idea of team building is weird af.
    Undersized guards &
    3 & D guys who cant shoot.

    FVV, Reed Sheppard, Amen Thompson, and JD Davison are ahead of him and that's basically all of the guard minutes.

    Thornton looks a bit on the chunkier side. Although from the highlights, he looks like a great shooter and finisher. Maybe a Kyle Lowry-type.

    My big concern is on the defensive side. He's undersized and heavy.

    He's got 30+ pounds on Lowry, closer to a 6 foot tall Jaesean Tate

    Yes. You guys whether consciously or subconsciously are Great White Hopers. Look at all the comps you come with: Steve Nash, Mike Price, John Stockton. His most obvious comp played for the Rockets last year, the worst of the Holidays. Leftists always claim racism where it doesn’t exist, gotta keep that class warfare going.

    So what you're trying to tell me is that you're not bigoted, you're just a different type of moron?

    Or in other words, you're giving me reason to believe that you are more than one standard deviation below the mean IQ?

    No problem, I have a policy for people like you. Goodbye.

    I don't know where you are coming up with Aaron Holiday... At CraftedNBA.com... his similarity score for this last season... top 20 results... Note: No Aaron Holiday... Every high ceiling white guy gets compared to other white guys who reached a high ceiling during the draft process. He was also compared to Jimmer Fredette and Stephen Curry & Derrick White. Reed Sheppard had a really good year for a 21 year old combo guard. I hope he has a better year at age 22.
