well, if that lady with the black bag was in my line I’m definitely doing the interview and then I’m buying drinks for ey’body. But for real. That is sad. Bronny is being asked, and asking for it, to write checks he can’t cash (those of expectation, I know he has a little jangle now).
Reed is easily the best shooter the Rox have drafted since Dave Jamerson. Bryce Drew's got nuthin on those guys. He's got grit oozing out of his pores.
The main takeaway from this should be that summer league stats are irrelevant. You should mainly be assessing feel for the game and skill. The good thing for the rockets is Sheppard is showing that all the skills he displayed in college are transferring, at least at this SL level. It also looks like some of the things he didn't show in college, he has but maybe his college teammates were limiting those opportunities. I'd still like to see him coming off more screens so he can put up double digit 3s per game. I think his shooting should be featured from day 1.
Price a more nature PG and can't match Sheppard's quick hand and instinct on the defensive side. i still see Sheppard an even better shooting FVV and that's super good.
If he can become a better version of FVV--well, FVV is a former all-star, still right at the fringe of being an all-star caliber player. So that would be a fantastic outcome.
