    Because they are both white combo guards I guess?!

    They don't play at all the same, as somebody who loved Dragic. Gogi was a transition guy who thrived on attacking the rim hard and early. Reed's entire game is based around his jump shot.

    Reed's game is very much in the vein of CP3, Curry, Booker. Guys who want to get to certain spots with the bare minimum of space and kill you with their jump shot, and the drive is to keep you honest. Dragic was like Westbrook, D-Wade, Amen, just not as gifted. All downhill as much as possible.

    And that’s how you build a championship team. Stockpile complementary players. And I for one am glad that it appears like we hit on Reed.

    Well, we've had a Moses and now we have a Sheppard.

    Moses saw the promised land but never got there, but a Sheppard will now lead our flock.

    (No pressure Reed.)

    What’s the Rockets promo : dedicated day for Reed next year?

    Dirk Diggler night? One Direction ? Kentucky derby night ?

    Moses jumped ship and led a different tribe to the promise land. :(
