We don't need any of those guys because it's more of the same they can't shoot. McCain on the other hand looks like someone who coulda really helped us.
Sheppard: shoots lights out in college Rockets coaches: hey this is what we're thinking for you, be the only player not standing behind the perimeter each possession, instead we want you zig zagging through the key and relocating constantly. Make plays to have you coming off multiple screens for open shots? Nah.
And we have one of the best screen setters in Adams to do that with him. He would get so many open jumpers off of that alone.
I agree with you on Castle but time will tell. I think bringing Holiday in occasionally gives Reed an example to follow and learn from. It also keeps Holiday sharp. I never thought Reed would be a factor early in the session. It was always gonna be a slow ramp with him. I'm more concerned with how he's doing ~ASB time.
Castle seems more like a PG/SG/SF type of big guard/wing player......so his lack of shooting would not stand out if he can do multiple things.
Nice response. I like how you actually refuted what was said. Please, continue though. Guess you probably think it's a good idea in garbage time deliberately running plays to get shots for end of the bench players Tate and Green, instead of working to get the #3 pick a shot? Whoops. There's me blaming everyone else again!
I think Castle has a decent chance to be a star. He's just beginning to blossom. He can already do some things now better than Reed ever will. If he was part of the bench unit with Amen and Tari, oh brother! We'd be talking about the Terror Trio instead of Terror Twins. Take 90 seconds to watch these. In a redraft, Castle would be my #3 pick in a heartbeat (if he was available). https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CF...eamID=1610612759&flag=3&sct=plot§ion=game https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CF...eamID=1610612759&flag=1&sct=plot§ion=game
He said growing up playing basketball his mom kept telling him "You can't be soft!" I think it's time for Mama Sheppard to give him an earful of "You can't be passive!"
He should not be getting garbage minutes. That's the problem. The reports of other players doing their things are starting to trickle in and now even the media is starting to snap out of it. Plus I'm going to take it a step further. Reed won't even dominate in G league playing the way he's been playing. The Rockets chose poorly guys.
I'm living in your head rent free ever since you called me out and ended up with egg in your face. You keep talking about etiquette when you started everything. Don't talk to me and don't reply to me clown. Why don't you eat some gyros and stfu.
Mcain looked like a lesser version of Reed Sheppard predraft, nobody would take him over Sheppard predraft. Not being able to shoot isnt an issue, you never draft for need. If we needed a shooter we could have signed Tyus Jones. Sheppard is the guy Rox thought had the highest ceiling thats why he got drafted. Reed has a lot of intangibles that will make him a good player, hopefully the shooting comes around. Plus he is only 19 and he can grow an inch or 2 like Jalen and Sengun, that will make a lot of difference imo.
