    Reed Shepherd was nowhere near worth a 3rd rd pick. Moreover, he is costing Cam Whitmore valuable PT.

    Jabari is definitely a bust. Reed I remain confident in.

    Has Reed Sheppard become Lil' Bari?

    I'm really disappointed in Smith. I'll have to see more out of Reed before making a judgment

    Reed needs to play point guard, not shooting guard. This isn't 1994 where a 6'2" guy is able to just run off screens and take jump shots all day. He's not Eddie House.

    He has great passing ability and reasonable handles he needs to be running the show not an undersized shooting guard.

    Jabari has impacted winning. It's just I'm waiting on him to do more or be more consistent. I think his problem is FVV. Fred hardly ever look for Jabari. It's Sengun, Jalen, Dillon, then Jabari in the halfcourt.

    In college, he was the first option and I think it could be a lack of touches.

    This dude starts a thread with a title that says a player is a bust and in the same thread says it's too early to call.

    Darius Miles had a pretty good (although somewhat short) NBA career. Averaged over 10 a game. That’s not really a bust.

    Cam Whitmore is costing Cam Whitmore playing time.

    Jabari’s not a bust, he’s just not a star.

    Then Jabari has already avoided bust status lol. I bet he stays out of jail too. Knock on wood.

    Unlike what some people think, the Rockets are only mediocre at developing talents and that said I never considered Jabari a top prospect and not even at the Draft.

    Stache Brother has a chance but it is underwhelming to watch a guy who was advertised as NBA ready.

    Come on. We need to give Reed 10 games for a proper evaluation. It’s only been 9 games.

    Imanimal….one word. Came from a combo of my most hated player (Iman Shumpert) and my most loved player (the Manimal).
