I Broke Down Reed Sheppard's Summer League Tape, Here's What I Found! 

Frank trying to get these vids out before the power goes out in Houston again😂

These are my favorite types of videos man I love you film breakdowns. Reed is very exciting. I think it's so perfect that we have Fred to take him under his wing as a small guard. I think Fred can teach him a lot about how to be better at the point of attack on D.

Love these vids. Need you to speak up in these twitter spaces though!

Fred really is the perfect mentor for him Frank. We saw it in the Pistons game that they gameplan to be physical with Reed on both ends on the court. Fred going to help him adjust on being picked up full court and helping him adjust on guys trying to be physical. Besides that and Reed having to work on his on ball defense all those things are correctable fixes. He exactly what we needed as a point guard. He calm he knows what to do and he can easily organize the offense as the point guard. He a good passer so he knows how to find guys and we know about his 3 ball but that middy is going to be automatic for him. Not to mention he has active hands he knows when to poke the ball away and gets some steals and when he does it’s off to the races for a transition basket. Honestly if Reed cleans up a few things and show out in training camp. He might get some minutes at the start of the season good video frank

at 7:50 - notice how every time he shoots/rises up his defender's footing is always off balance... i never expected him to be such a midrange assassin. side note, when him and amen play together i hope amen becomes the draymond to his curry, their two man game has some crazy potential w them screening for each other. Great breakdown bro

Keep that content coming! Great breakdown

Thank for putting out these videos Frank. Love seeing the detailed breakdowns like this. I definitely agree that his style is mixture between Steph and Klay with his stroke being closer to Klays. Maybe he will develop a quicker trigger to immediately shoot on drop coverages. Great work brother.

Great analysis Frank. Reed is good but I think it's a bit too early to evaluate him, especially from a summer league footeage.. He hasn't played against adults yet.

Reed seems to be one of those guys who picks up his game from a lot different players. That's great, it means he can continually add to his game. On defense he has focused on using his smarts and court awareness to get those steals and blocks to the detriment of his one on one defense. As you point out he is often out of position in relation to his man. I think he has the physical tools to be a good man defender but he isn't committing to it(which seems to be counter to his personality). I simply don't think he's aware of what he's doing. Fixing his stance and positioning are easy things to correct. For a guy like Reed he could fix that before the beginning of the season. I am not at all worried about his defense. On offense, as you point out, he needs to learn how to deal with pressure - again something he can pick this up pretty quick with good coaching. I wanted to trade back too - I'm glad they didn't. I was high on Sheppard but he is much better than even I thought. Once Udoka starts focusing on offense this team is going to be really good, really quick. Get ready for Sengun 2.0. I hear he is finally getting into the weight room. I've always thought his biggest weakness was his lack of conditioning. I am not afraid to say that with better conditioning and a three point shot Alpy could be the best player in the league.

Good show. Underrated!

Thank you yet another great video bro. This breakdown is right on point. And let me tell you what, I was hight on Sheppard before the draft but after this three SL games, I'm in shock for how good he really is. If I have to redraft today, I would go with him at #1. How many player is our Rockets team de we have that when they have the ball in their hands, you feel something good is gonna happen? or when they release a shot you feel it will go in each and every time? He's high IQ. He's a fast thinker. He's an elite shooter. He's a good floor general. He can score at 3 levels. He makes his FT. He's elite court vision. He's unselfish. The kid has the whole package with #1 talent that we got at #3.

I hope with Udoka he impoves his defense and with mentorship of FVV he improves his alreday good game read and play making. If he can improve as fast as Alpy it will be more than enogh. Thank you Frank for the insights... Great as usual...

Reaching from behind and people pounding on him is crazy😂.... great breakdown you nailed it bruh bruh ... Reed paws Sheppard gets his hands on balls 😂😂😂😂

His elbow j looks so sweet and reminds me cp3's🎉

Really good information thanks from the Philippines!

Excellent video Frank. These are my favorite videos you do also. You are allowed your opinion. Don’t apologize.

"Hands on a lot of balls...pause." 😆

Well said bro. He’s feel for the game is second to none in this class. He’s gonna be a hard worker on both ends. I know his dad would be on his ass if he doesn’t. Great pick for the Rockets

That corner elbow middy shot has CP3 influence all over. 💪🏾 Go Rockets 🚀

Great show Frank and Ghost! Steals is another often looked over stat but all the greatest NBA players were top in steals. Reed was top 10 last year. Good sign.

Reed did work out with CP3 last off season. Seems like he’s game is rubbing off on him. I’ve heard comparisons to Nash too, which is a fair one too

Most of the guys he’s being compared to had/have special handles, while his is just solid. He’s better than most of them in some other ways, usually his shooting, but I do see the comps in specific areas. Oh, wait, as I was typing this I just got to the part where you make the same point. lol. Was gonna raise comps but never mind, you got this. Great breakdown.

You know you’re watching summer league highlights when bro training camp hasn’t even started, baseball just had a draft and all star game no one knew about, there were some soccer tournaments that came and went , apparently people played tennis etc… Ball is life

Solid stuff, Frank

Love your videos bro. I was at Summer League. I was very impressed with Reed. I think he's gonna be a great one.

You'll find that often when he overplays a steal and gets beat by his man, two seconds later Reed is in his pocket poking it away. He's a smart kid. He's working with what he has in a very intelligent manner.

Bro... you forgot that he's going to be coming off Steven Adams screens. =D

u said TRADE BACK??? no matter what we love you bro!!! never change!

Appreciate this video fam, with reed I just see another high I.Q baller. Him and Amen should take the rockets to that next lvl soon!

Sure , you said trade back , but you also said you were totally fine taking Reed. I saw a lot of CP3 as well, mixed with some Curry but at the least would have a Mark Price value floor. I really hope he does work on his on ball defense asap so he can stay on the floor.

Great video..learned a lot..🚀🙏

Drop the updated core ranking video!

Fire breakdown

You killing it bro. BTW #ReedSheppard = #ChaunceyBillups + #DevinBooker

He gives me Mark Price vibes… which is a great thing!

nice vid and great work. but a stream would have been cool.

Rockets should incorporate the triangle in their system. That system will eliminate the predictability of the offense & will also create openings fir iso players

Now we have Reed, would there be any need to trade for Booker bcos both are kinda same archetype. In two to three Reed gonna be real good. Though I Wouldn’t mind having both in Rockets roster in future where Reed would be the primary ball handler. That’s gonna be devastating,recreating something similar to GSW in Houston where Reed would be like a smaller steph and Booker a smaller Clay.

Has your mic lost a screw? The hinge seems empty and loose.

Thanks Frank

I personally think amen can still be our future point guard , to me reed is the perfect back up point . Amen is just too talented to start behind a guy like reed in the long term imo

if im IME, im telling them deflection, deflection, deflection thats our defense! Al P, Bari (dalsim arms-street fighter), Tari, Reed, Amen!!! deflection deflection deflection, that shoulb be the thing in houston.. yall play elden ring? and u find out about deflection.. EXACTLY!!!

CTE basketball 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hilarious

He can ball but people need to chill with the Steph curry comparisons hes mark price

Reed in Jalen out.

The d was all over reed this game it would be different if amen and sengun with him
