I'm Obsessed With The Way Reed Sheppard Plays Basketball... | Houston Rockets News | 

The chemistry between Reed and Cam is encouraging.

He’s already moving balls like CP3 and just a few minutes when Cam and Reed went out Wiz made a quick comeback just like Lakers did. Him and Cam are shoulder above in terms of talent that completely dominate summer league level.

15 PPG, 4 assists per game, 1.5+ steals a game on really good percentages; 47% FG, 40+3%.

Reed shouldve been 1st pick. The fact he will be mentored by FVV is insanely good for his career. Reed is like Steve Nash/CP3 combined.

Reed and Cam ! Let's go Rockets this season

I am a huge UK fan and a Reed fan. He's a really good all around player and obviously there's the shooting. The only place he's lacking is his on the ball defense against quicker guards . If he can improve that he will have a long career in the league.

Rockets just drafted a young steve nash, crazy

Been watching Reed since 6th grade. He involves his teammates by being very unselfish and is extremely coachable. His shooting came later by working very hard on it. He has been underrated at every stop, but it only takes a game or two for everyone involved to understand that he needs to be on the court as much as possible. I think the Rockets have saw that too. Calipari saw it quickly but could not start him for recruiting promises he probably made to others. But Reed did play his 28 minutes per game for Cal. He's a special player. PS That Cam Whitmore is something to watch too. If these two guys can't start for them, they must have an unbelievable team.

You probably can't play Sheppard and VanVleet together so Reed isn't getting more than 18-20 minutes a game. I think he will play with Amen and Cam a lot. I really want to see him play with Amen & Sengun a lot but that probably isn't happening this year. When playing with Amen and Sengun he will be used a a sharpshooter without them he is the floor general. I only see him averaging 12-14 points but he should get a lot of assists - let's say 5 on average. I think he will lead all rookies in steals+blocks. I expect him to play on the Rocket's B-team. Adams, Tari, Amen, Cam, and Sheppard. I truly believe this will be the best 2nd unit in the NBA. It will wear the other team out with its athleticism and be really solid on defense. Reed probably won't make rookie MVP because of the low points/minutes. But if VanVleet gets hurt or is traded this could change. I was predicting 46-48 wins for the Rockets before I saw Reed in summer league - I'm upping that to 50. If Sengun or Amen can learn to hit a 3 point shot - - - move that total up even more. The Rockets are scary talented with a good coach.

I was extremely impressed with his defense this game. Every time a ball handler gets near him he gets a hand on the ball somehow. I started going nuts by the 2nd quarter.

Reed is special ⭐️

This is how we played ball in the 90’s. Before every player camped out at the 3-point line, we hunted open midrange shots because they were automatic for a good shooter. He also reminds me a bit of Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Reed has more elevation, but Rauf was a good finisher at the rim too.

High IQ im glad we got him

Nice to see a well mannered, humble, clean cut player, no drama, tats , crazy AF hair or police record....

Need that Cam Whitmore vid 🙏🏾

I have NEVER commented on a sight like this...Reed Sheppard is THE ONE TO WATCH!!!! He is an amazing basketball player, he has talent, skills, and humility...just a genuine love of the game and being a part of a team. He is already A GREAT PLAYER!

Reed makeing it look easy and cam loving his new team mate.reed and cam have hook up fo at least 5 alley oop's i two games.these two coming off the bench with the second unit gone be a problem.

I'm a Rockets fan who was all in on them drafting Reed, and I'm glad he's rewarding my faith

Reed is a beast on the court. I watched him gr and ow up bouncing the ball all over our church and knew he will be in the big league one day. Proud of this outstanding young man.

20.5,pts,11 ast, 4 RB, 4.5 still, 1.5 blk

Me too! I'm obsessed as well bro LFGoooooo!!! 🚀🚀🚀

He was fun to watch at UK. He’s deceptively athletic- dunking over people is not his game, but he will get some blocks that will surprise people. He has ridiculously quick hands for steals, he excels at that. He looks to pass a lot- he’s good at floor-length assists, and is great at threading the needle. He’s a great shooter, distance, mid-range… wherever. The main problem he had at KY was not shooting when he should- but that will come with experience. We were all hoping he would stay longer, but he left- and we kind of expected it. He’s great to watch. GBB!

great content! he’s looking head above all the other rookies despite small sample size

Great job MattyD. Appreciate the effort. We are stoked to have Reed. Yes more vids like this pls.

Reed's got insane IQ and plays with so much poise for a rookie

Reed will be top 5 for all rookies in every category. He may not be number one in anything other than shooting percentages but he will fill the statline every time he plays. He is somehow involved in everything. He gets burned on D sometimes because he gets a bunch of steals and deflections. It's his game and he will improve on that in the next year or so. That is his only weakness along with needing a tighter handle. But even with those, he will be better than the average NBA vet this year.

Houston bringing cam Whitmore, a 12 ppg NBA player, to summer league was diabolical

we got the number 1 pick lets go rockets i love my team we dont win championships but we try every year .we gonna get there in 3 years

He’s a steady player which will work well with the young stars in Houston

UK fan here. I know Reed will do great in the League. It was a disappointment that he was coming off the bench for us to make up 10+ point deficits.

Rocket Reed for another triple!🤘🏽..Get used to it

He look like Jason Williams out there I love it

He looks comfortable running an offense and that’s encouraging

I thought this draft was weak though??😂😂😂

Mark Price 2.0

Definitely could see him evolving into a Steve Nash type player, the way he demands attention from defenders and they all want so bad to block or steal the ball from him but they can’t and he makes them pay by making the smart play and it irritates tf out of them😂😂 Imma be real he looks 15😂😂

More Reed

Stat lines wud be good. Yes pls, CAM WITMORE vid!!!

Last season, John Calipari had NO IDEA how to use Reed Sheppard.

I keep calling everyone too bro. Y'all seeing this right?

You can’t gauge what he’ll do this season after two summer league games. There’s a strong possibility he won’t crack the rotation until mid season.

Proud of you and your channel kid!

Calapari had him coming off the bench.

I think this is his assist will go up. He’s getting a lot of guys open looks who are missing. He didn’t shoot that great for him and during this game I mean if he makes one or two more of those threes and all his teammates to make a couple more baskets and that’s double double twice in a row he’ll have better around the NBA

Keep the Rocket content coming!!

I doubt he wins rookie of the year due to a lack of minutes. Hopefully we trade Green sooner rather than later to open up minutes for Reed and Cam. An amazing couple of games by him. He will be amazing. I am looking forward to more Reed videos!

A+, he should’ve gone #1 overall

John Stockton with Steph (almost) shot.

gives me heavy D Booker vibes for some reason

13.5 PPG, 5.3 APG, 2.8 RPG, 1.3 SPG, 0.2 BPG, 46% FG, 38% 3PFG

Imagine Sheppard w Cam n Amen in transition

14 is AJ Griffin. Hope he develops. He has the tools.

I think Cam's numbers are inflated by how good Reed is. Don't get me wrong, Whitmore is great. But Reed makes him that much better.

He plays exactly like Curry! 🤯

Just wait to see him unlock it underneath perhaps the greatest screener in NBA history Steven Adams….☝️🙏💥🔥🤩

The next John Stockton

Definitely subscribing

The only thing that will hinder him to win ROTY is Ime. Playing time will be a problem

Shepherd Reed from Downtown for 3

Part 3

Insane offensive game but he's a defensive liability against wing players

P O L I S H E D. This kid is going to be a problem already.

I think buzelis is gonna win ROTY with all the new runway he’ll have to play

He plays like Steph

He's a shooter, and he was one of the top 3 most athletic players in the draft. If he can learn to pass and run the offense, he will be deadly.

Reed is Jerry West reincarnated. 😊

He could certainly win ROY but lots of stiff competition both Donovan Clingan and Matas Buzelis both look to be great as well. Sheppard will get 15pts 7 ass this year

Curry w 40 in vert and actual defense

No roty. Only because he will most likely come off the bench

I don’t understand why Kentucky doesn’t have a pro basketball team bc literally 75 % of the best players on many teams came from Kentucky

12 ppg 4 rebs 5 ast 2stl

I wish he could be rookie of the year, but it most likely goes to a rookie that’s starting

Pt 3

im guessing nobody watch kentucky basketball last year

Pt. 3

Steph but with an IQ

1 year outta high school? sure, he's going to make a ton of mistakes as he adjusts to the talent, athleticism, length and speed of the NBA game. And he himself will grow and get better too he's not going to remain a fresh face kid. He has a feel for the game that's beyond his years and he plays with self confidence which is important for young kids wanting to establish himself

ROTY.....PERIOD. it is just unfair for rockets to get Reed.......totally unfair

Yes a

Him and Matas Buzelis

A

Film don't lie🤣🤣🤣....it depends on who showing it....if we watch film we see Luka and Jokic is REALLY BAD on DEFENSE players..

He is Mike Conley 2.0

Mark Price 2.0
