    I'm kind of pissed he went from looking like our Donny Osmond to some sergeant on a 70s cop show.

    In what world is looking like Donny Osmond better than looking like an extra from Hill Street Blues?

    If basketball doesn’t work out for Reed, there’s always a potential fallback career in comedy

    If Reed Sheppard showed up looking like Dennis Franz, I'd agree we've got a problem.

    Side note, Donnie Osmond looks a lot like Erik Estrada

    I thought he had more of an 80's Freddie Mercury vibe tbh. Or some kind of sketchy 80's p*rn extra.

    Would have been good and if Swift were into baby faces with pornstaches.

    Get that billion fortune, Shep the Kid.

    He looks like a kid trying to look like a military fake ID to buy some beer.

    Would be funny if the NOAH shot tracker at the training facility is the thing that FINALLY unlocks Jalen's shooting woes. Score one more for the "Tillman is cheap" thread - haha.

    Reed is a smart cookie. I would like to hear more details about the meaning of those depth numbers.

    Reed AND Rob shot very well from three. There's something to it. I wish I could shoot around in a gym with it.

    ...its just height of the shot(the basket is effectively larger/more margin for error the higher the shot is), distance of the shot, and how far left/right you shoot it but having the feedback to know it in real time allows you to pay attention to form and make adjustments for consistency.

    I think DIllingham struggles from 3 his first season, while it's true, he shot well from the college 3, his numbers on NBA 3's were pretty bad. I think it'll take him time to adjust.

    Yeah - same! I seem to recall there are apps you can use that try to approximate it but they won't be quite as accurate as a court set up with multiple video feeds.

    Hitting 3's in practice is nice, but expected. I'll be interested in seeing how our future primary ball handler does in preseason games setting up his teammates. That's the ability that is going to earn him a max one day.....or his failure to do so will be the reason he doesn't get a max one day.
