Reed Sheppard is the Rockets’ Franchise Player™

Why wouldn't he?

Think of Sengun drawing a double team in the high post, leaving a man open around the arc, the team swinging the ball around while the defense has to rotate. He'll get open shots in this offense.

Or with Green breaking his man down and making the defense collapse.

Or with Sengun in the DHO.

I think you're needlessly worried

 

FVV has 2 years left and I’d imagine he isn’t back after it expires or is traded at the deadline in ‘25 for a team shedding salary. Who knows if Sheppard is taking his spot, but I see him as a 6th man candidate in a few years if he’s still here.

 

Finally a good 1st round draft pick.

Admittedly likes to pass the ball

 

Rockets got straight bullied into drafting Reed. Real talk.

 

I’m gonna need Tari’s Mom and Reed’s Mom to become best friends immediately.

 

Is Reed Sheppard too jacked?

Spoiler

 

FU

 

You got bullied into joining the "my hot take is more important than rooting for my team to succeed club".

The good news is you'll have terrible company on this board

 

He's already the best shooter on our team of high-volume brick-lobbing shooters.

 

Reported!

 

LOL He's not getting traded.

 

Yes, but he will have to play good defense in order to get playing time in my opinion.

Need more players like Reed, Amen and Tari. Team players. I'm tired of over-dribbling, bad-decision making scrubs. We've been plagued with them.

 

You damn RSOFs are unbearable.

 

Lucky he projects to be a much better defender than half the team then.

 

If that is the standard, Jalen would never see the court.
