Dude is the #3 pick in the draft and every story is like "yeah they also added this guy named Reed that's interesting, he's a good shooter and the staff thinks they might be able to use him."
Did we roll out the red carpet like this for any of our other high picks? Seemed like zero fanfare with Jabari. I know we wanted Amen over Scoot. Jalen was probably a big deal just because at the time that was supposed to be the new face of the franchise. They had Reed by far the number one prospect in this draft and bringing him in like its the Return of the King.
It can be really special. It’ll take time. You gotta figure out how to play with each other and get the feel. Excited to play with him and everyone else on the team. — franchise player™ Reed Sheppard on playing with franchise player™ Alperen Sengun
