    We ran FVV like a generator during a 5-day power outage. We need to rest him some, but not TOO much. He needs to earn the most outrageous contract ever given to a 5' 8" PG.

    What are you talking about? The vote is at 92% in favor, in what world is that a whine fest? This is one of the most overwhelmingly positive reactions we've had to a draft pick.

    Is defense a concern from a 6’2 white guy?

    Just be glad you are still able to read it. That dude used to use different font colors that’s pretty much unreadable in dark mode. At least that’s changed now. LOL

    Love the pick. Filled a huge need in perimeter shooting and he’s actually got some defensive upside despite his size. Very athletic. He will improve on defense and playmaking with Fred and Udoka working with him.

    Players I'm most excited to see play next year:

    Reed
    Amen
    Cam
    Steven Adams

    I also wish Nate Williams could get more playing time.

    Maybe? But I doubt it. He was a really good individual and team defender in college with amazing block/steals rate. I'm not comparing him to Chris Paul, but it is possible to be smaller and a good defender. DeAnthony Melton is around the same size and is an impactful defender I don't know why Reed couldn't be a plus defender in the NBA.

    Going from KPJ as the "franchise point guard" to Reed Sheppard taking those honors is actually quite funny

    Well, we got Reed and now that he's officially a Rocket I'll definitely support and root for him.

    Just hope he reaches his potential and the hype he's been getting. If he's even close to any of those Mark Price comps I'll be very happy. We'll see how things pan out.

    I feel much better about this 1st round pick than our last two 1st round picks. Still wish we could've drafted Evan Mobley.

    Prediction: Reed Sheppard will not have a food-throwing outburst in the locker room or be charged with assault and strangulation of a female. We are on the up and up!
