Can't see who you guys are talking to, but I only can't see people who have a pattern of awful post...And judging by the responses seems like things haven't changed... https://www.si.com/college/kentucky/mbb/aggression-shot-ability-antonio-reeves-new-offensive-heights https://www.espn.com/mens-college-b...inois-state-play-basketball-kentucky-wildcats https://www.si.com/college/kentucky...heeler-fredrick-unavailable-mississippi-state https://www.nationofblue.com/kentuc...tournament-hopes-in-jeopardy/#google_vignette https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/dont-overthink-antonio-reeves https://www.on3.com/teams/kentucky-wildcats/news/cason-wallace-antonio-reeves-point-guard/ LOL @ anyone thinking Reeves was a PG or played anything like a PG...You've got no clue what you're talking about.
We have to start him no matter what. Give him 35 minutes and see how it goes. In december we will be eligable to trade for a 12 mil contract. Reee should either prove that he is tje starting material or we should shine him to make useful asset in a trade. We lost Cam for nothing. If we have given Cam 30 mins last year, we could get a lot more in return. We should not make the same mistake
Cam doesn't have much value in today’s market, especially given his attitude. In my opinion, Stone made the move before we ended up getting absolutely nothing for Cam. At least now we have something, which is better than nothing. Cam also isn’t a good fit for this roster, he’s a ball stopper. If we bring in another guard, that player needs to be a pass-first type, so Cam wouldn’t solve any of our issues. Plus, the team doesn’t want to deal with any childish behavior that could harm locker room chemistry. That’s for sure.
Cam did not belong here. It was the right call to send him. My point is, if basketball is a business, you should try to maximize your assets. Last year Cam could be given more time and we could get more than two trash picks in return. We would like Reed to be part of our team then give him the starting position. If we don't believe in him and want to trade him in december, well start him again and increase his value
I too was hoping Cam Whitmore would play more in his second season. But the Rockets were in the midst of a playoff run, and they needed all gears running. Unfortunately, Cam was still in “me, myself, and I mode”, no defense and never pass. So much talent, yet so much disdain for what the Rockets were trying to do.
Ime would never give Cam the minutes he wants or the minutes we think he deserves, simply because he doesn’t put in enough effort on defense and hasn’t shown any improvement with the opportunities he’s had. Reed is a different case as the third pick, and I feel his work ethic is much stronger than Cam’s. He just needs more experience and confidence. Ime also mentioned in a press conference that it’s time for Reed to play, which is why he was in the starting lineup during the previous preseason games.
I think most of us, including the players, understands by now that if you don’t put in the effort on defense, you simply don’t exist for Ime. Jalen might be the one exception, but even he has shown noticeable improvement on the defensive end under Ime.
In the clips posted to YouTube today, it looks like Adams running with the starters instead of Reed. Might mean they try double big with the starters, might mean nothing.
To be fair, the dude posted a video of Reed playing as a PG to prove that he wasn't a PG, so I think that last sentence was already a given lmao.
I can’t wait for the season to start and we can see how much Reed has improved. Enough to deserve to start? Enough to not trade for a veteran point guard mid season? I don’t know. I do know that this Ime will try to win every game and that Reed’s playing time will depend on him helping the Rockets win (according to Ime). I feel like this team has 2017/18 and 1993/94 potential. I am looking forward to real games and the Rockets getting off to a good start. I expect Sheppard to be much improved along with the other young players.
