Because of your weird fixation with height. In the Amen drive and kick scenario, I’d rather he pass out to the dude who is the better shooter...
Bruh you trolling at this point.
Not sure what you see in either prospects to suggest they could be a more reliable secondary ball handler than Sheppard. And if Amen is initiating...
Which is why I said at worst he’s going to be a better shooting and more athletic Pat Bev, which if we had one, would mean we’d likely have...
Dude shoots exactly like freaking Klay and people saying Brent Barry and Pablo Prigioni bruh.
That’s where your goal posts ended up now. You started with saying Sheppard was unathletic and a defensive liability, which were proven untrue....
Bruh no one is arguing he’s tall. We’re saying height is not the only factor that determines how good you will be at NBA level. Our PG is FVV for...
If he was putting up those shooting numbers on more attempts we wouldn’t even be in the position to draft him. And it does tell us that he takes...
So does Sheppard … which is why your “he’s unathletic” despite him being athletic, “he’s going to be a defensive liability” despite him having...
Quoted so you can’t delete this post. Bruh have you seen the man or his pops?

He shoots like Klay?
I hope we somehow end up with him for low cost purely for sentimental value. I’d like us to have a 7’3+ player at all times for morale purposes.
For all this height and wingspan talk, remember we once had one of the best defenders in a position where those things matter most … Chuck Hayes....
“I mean sure he’s got great defensive stats, elite shooting stats, can jump really high but he’s 6’1 3/4 instead of 6’2 and really kind of white....
If you squint really hard they do look kind of similar, they even have the same head. Edey needs to add a turnaround J. Also probably not a good...
Exactly, his athleticism is fine. Besides it’s about time we actually drafted a BASKETBALL player instead of drafting someone who can jump really...
Did Chris Paul’s size and T-Rex arms stop him from being a + defender for 95% of his career? Look at Sheppard’s player comps and the narrative...
To be fair though, no one saw Curry becoming one of the greatest players of all time, let alone the greatest shooter of all time.
