    Stone needs to stick with drafting Bigs because he sucks in evaluating guards
    Josh Christopher
    Ty Ty Washington
    Jalen Green (traded our #2 pick within 4 years)
    Reed Sheppard will be gone next

    You keep glossing over ball handling and playmaking. You realize Ben Simmons was a 3 time all star right? Reed cant shoot as well you act like he is Steph Curry. Bro can only make wide open 3s otherwise he is 0/4 like last game.

    Jalen Green got more favorable treatment as he never played as bad as Reed. 35% FG horrible on D at least Jalen would have like a month where he would play like a top 10 player Reed has 3 games out of 52.

    For all his faults Jalen has a high ceiling, no one can deny that dude won WCF player of the week several times so when he clicks, he can be a top 10-20 player. Reed is a midget with Trex arms, he is also unathletic af sure he can jump high but he can't move laterally is a traffic cone on defense and has to resort to gambling on steals. With a person like that, only way he can be a star is if he has unreal skill like a Kyrie or a Steph. He doesnt even have that lol, dudes a backup pg or mid tier starter at the very best.

    You are waiting for the guy just to be a good rotation player. Castle won RoY him and Reed are nowhere near comparable like heaven and earth.
