    Would you Trade Tari Eason & Kevon Harris for Ayo or Carter or Grimes or Oubre?

    Pritchard isn’t a perfect fit at point guard for the Rockets. However, he is a physically mature, developed version of Reed Sheppard. He has the...

    Would you Trade Tari Eason & Kevon Harris for Ayo or Carter or Grimes or Oubre?

    They were awarded a disabled player exception worth around 14M, but because their offseason spending hard caps them if they enter the first apron,...

    Of course, I do. Eason has more NBA tape showing he’s a good player than anyone on that list other than Pritchard. Even if he has a second...

    Sheppard is so damn small

    Leading a team in assists doesn’t necessarily make someone a natural point guard. Both Sheppard and Dillingham are undersized combo guards....

    Sheppard is so damn small

    I watched him play at Kentucky. He did not serve as their primary point guard nor consistently initiated their offense. Sheppard was a sniper who...

    Sheppard is so damn small

    Fred VanVleet was asked by the Raptors to be a three-point specialist and bench scorer when he first got to Toronto. After a few years of...

    Why this surprises people is beyond me. Reed Sheppard has never been a point guard. He was an elite shooter in college who had some play making...
