Reed Sheppard Scouting Report | 2024 NBA Draft Breakdowns
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 апр 2024
- Reed Sheppard put together an exceptional freshman season and became a legitimate lottery prospect with his high level shooting, passing feel and defensive event creation. He has big questions to answer in the type of creator he can be, especially being just 6'3, but his combo of impact & outlier stats make him a fairly safe bet to contribute.

70% TS is craaaazy.. if this guy was 6’8 he’d be a superstar crazy
#1 pick no doubt
even 6'5" and he'd be elite
I understand the thought process behind that, but like who knows if his dribble would be as tight or if he’d be as quick/agile if he was 6’8.
What a dumb take. The bottom line is he is not 6’8. You take this kid this high in the draft, and you’ll be regretting it for years. Not saying he won’t be a solid pro, but I wouldn’t draft him this early. Back of the lotto or early teens are better suited for his skill sets.
@@ClementWilliamstheoneandonlyI agree
He'd be perfect on Houston with Senguin as an offensive hub distributing the ball. Coming off screens, DHOs and constant motion to where he doesn't have to dribble the ball and keep the defense off balance like Curry. Running a PnP with Smith and PnR with Senguin would be deadly.
yes houston
Absolutely...the spacer the Rockets hugely miss and that transition IQ with the Rockets speed devils...even his defense, under Ime and with Fred as a teacher we can develop perfectly
This aged well lol... mock draft has houston taking him at 3
@@sleept24 hell yeah, hes a perfect fit
As a rockets fan I don’t like this move. Sengun being the offensive hub caused half the team to be stagnant and out of rhythm. Rockets are better when they play fast and utilize their speed and athleticism with guys like Amen, Jalen, Cam, Tari, etc. Ime loves defense so I think Clingan is the pick here
These are the best breakdowns on youtube since Adam Spinella got hired by the Sixers
I wondered what happened to him.
Really?
@@doystory2154yeah, he’s a scout for them these days.
Came here for the same reasons ,
missing Spins work. Really sad it all got deleted, his stuff was tremendous and filled the void after Mike Schmitz got hired by the Blazers.
After watching this video, I'm a lot higher on him now....he's more athletic than I expected. Great shooter, plays hard, and looks to have a high basketball IQ. Hope the Rockets get him at 3.
You are so racist
why him over Matt McClung?
Great shooter, good passer, tenacious defender, extremely unselfish, and has a really high bball IQ. Reminds me so much of Derrick White, who has quietly become one of the best Guards and glue-guys in the NBA. Only he's a much better shooter than Derrick was at that age. Exciting player. He's going to look great in a Spurs jersey. 💯
hey man castle is good to
As a rockets fan Reed is the perfect fit for our team he a great combo guard which means he can play well with Amen and Jalen on ball and off ball.
He could also play well with Sengun in the pick and roll.
But man taking him at 3 might be rich but if the rockets love him and he at the top of their board you go ahead and take him
Facts. But also afraid is rockets go for clingan....sigh
My only concern with him (if we pick him) is how his defense is going to translate into the NBA. His instincts and IQ look well on-ball, but I’m worried that his size will end up being an issue.
Under Udoka, though, I think the odds are pretty high that he’ll be at least average on the defensive end of the court
wow those passes were unreal. not gonbe mad at Spurs if they get him.
GSG
Great video. Great analysis. With coach Spins gone, looking forward to finding my next go-to youtube scout.
*This video was constructed very well.*
Nice work... new sub
His offensive game reminds me a lot of Klay, defensively not as much and that’s a work in progress. But his and Klay’s stroke and fluidity is very similar.
He is known for defense so I don’t know where you get that idea, he is leading the steal in the college.
Not the same Size....Size is important
He just had the highest vert in the combine
@@ferjouquentin6275defensively yes. Not as much offensively.
@@sflch0sen LIKE Mac McClung ...so...
WELCOME TO THE ROCKETS REED!
reed sheppard, you ARE a rocket
Spur*
@@bballer191how he gonna be a spur if they pick behind the rockets
Reading this as he gets drafted lol
@@cgpxae2119 lets go! I am so glad we got him. The spurs defo would have taken him at 4
Vanvleet’s heir after his time on the Rockets
Think the Grizzlies would be a great fit too. Could come off the bench to replace Kennard, who I think he'll be better than. Then eventually ease into backup PG duties after Smart moves on.
He'd also get the development as a ball-handler/shot-creator. Bane has made a huge strides in those areas.
this is who we need in orlando
Hes a Houston Rocket.
It's looking possible after today.
Not that it matters, I'm a wizards fan. I think they are taking him. They have 2 sf they are rebuilding with. They traded gafford to Dallas, they're trying to trade kuzma and they have this Jones at pg who was trade bait last deadline. I see the wiz taking him and making Jordan Poole compete. They have another 1st Rd. And assuming they trade kuzma for another pick, they have those to address other needs. Poole is about the only player their stuck with because of his play to pay ratio.... So I see them taking someone at his position. Could be dillingham they pick tho
I hope so.
No way!!
@@ImTexlussSi wey
ime udoka and the rockets coaching staff would do wonders for his defense and making him the ultimate all around player with that deadly prime klay thompson like 3 point shot
Omg that shooting form is Perfect
I actually think even NBA teams might be underrating the shooting season he had... I ran some statistics on it and there's at least a chance he legitimately had the most efficient college shooting season ever for a legit NBA prospect (all the comparable shooting seasons either came before the FIBA three point line, or were clear "random chance" seasons by guys who weren't real prospects in the first place). I think people see he shot like 53% on a "small" sample and instantly regress that to where all the other "good" shooters are, but that's statistically very wrong to do... other "good" shooters who have a crazy shooting season shoot like 44% in college on this many attempts, not 53%! The chances of a top 100 prospect having a shooting season like his with "only" a 39% true 3P% is like... an over-performance you'd only see once every 15 years.
I mean, he shot over 49% from the NBA three point line on over 80 attempts. That's insane. You can also watch the full film of every three point shot he took and see that when he wasn't being face guarded by the other team... he basically just doesn't miss. Like I think he hit like his first 15 C&S threes in a row before teams caught on and started giving him a Steph lite treatment. He could legitimately come into the league as a 45%+ three point shooter and I would not be shocked.
Like I hear people having arguments about "who's the best shooter in this class"--including his own teammate, Dillingham--and it's just so ridiculous to me. People do NOT know what they're watching, it's not even close.
Also they ran like four screens for him all season... the team misused him horribly. Please please let him play with Wemby and teach him how to screen and they will dominate the league for the next decade+.
If I was Orlando I would move up to get him. Trade some future picks to get him. He is specifically what they need. Him with Suggs in the backcourt would be awesome.
Who would the Magic trade to get him, I would love Reed Sheppard in Orlando, 3 and D, guy.
@@scootover7so let’s say Memphis is there and Shepherd is there. WCjr plus another pick(next year’s Denver pick), along with this year’s pick. I think that benefits all teams involved.
Orlando has Isaac, Goga and MoeSwag. And I actually believe Paolo will transition to a 5. Allows you to play Franz at the 4 and Jett at the 3, which opens up max spacing for Paolo.
@@user-ud8qb9ey1wif Paolo transitions to a 5 it’ll hurt their defense. Defense is their strength and Paolo shouldn’t be a primary rim protector.
@@user-ud8qb9ey1wI’d move WCJ to grab Reed in a heartbeat. But I doubt any team outside of the Wizards (who won’t trade their pick) actually want him. Rockets maybe if they want WCJ as a backup C.
@@ChrisbeFoSeriousMemphis would be the team to target. WCjr and the 18th for Kennard and the 8th. That makes sense.
WELCOME TO THE ROCKETS
Off the bench right?
@@slimhardaway8 our back up PG i would think
@@Idk-fm1hiinfinitely better than Aaron Holiday
@@Idk-fm1hiAmen is the backup PG until they move on from Fred.
@@ChrisbeFoSerious amen can’t play many back up PG minutes until he improves his handle so for now he’s a more a of a point forward then a actual PG
Reminds me of JJ Reddick with his shooting!!
This is my favorite prospect in the draft, I'd love to see him in Charlotte that would be insane
Meh while he wouldn't be a terrible pick aye lamelo shepard back court isn't exactly that exciting
@@johndavis9321 Why not he can space the floor, and he can defend ( I'm not saying he's a lockdown defender but he can play some defense, even some of the lockdown defenders mess up once in a while on defense) , I think you could start him at the 2, or even have him come off the bench at PG or mostly at SG. Granted he's not the playmaker LaMelo is, also think about it, most Kentucky guards pan out, the only Kentucky guard I can think of who didn't pan out is Tyler Ulis , there might be another one that I'm missing.
@@scootover7 well let's be real he was a pretty good defensive playmaker at the college level he could get a lot of steals and deflections but their are still questions about just how good a defender he'll be at the next level going up against bigger stronger quicker athletes now your sugg of playing at the 2 would make the most sense as he is a lights out shooter and does have some upside as a movement shooter but I'm not gonna lie the thought of him having to guard guys like Anthony Edwards, Kyrie Irving, even Jamal Murray etc. frightens me
@@johndavis9321IKR?😂I don’t know why some people would say shit like “Oh he’s a good defender in college he must be great in NBA”,it doesn’t make sense at all… In fact most “Good Defenders” in the NCAA level ended up being mediocre at best defensively,because their talents ain’t gonna work in the big league.
Reed is more likely to be around 6’2 with a 6’3 wingspan… Plus being white basically kills his athleticism upsides (Come on,it’s
common sense at this point ),so below average physical attributes + below average athleticism,not a good look.
@@Leo-nc3yx all facts I don't necessarily agree with the whole white player not being athletic point but everything else yeah
awesome video as always! this kid reminds me of john stockton
Dude is a Mark Price clone. Which tbh probably makes him the best player in this draft
Lol what? Is the draft this bad if Mark Price’s clone will be considered the top pick ?😂
It's the modern era, but he's a throwback to those great 90's guards. I can see some Chris Jackson and Sam Cassell as well as Mark Price. You just hope he has more creating/volume scoring ability than guys like John Paxson, BJ Armstrong, and Steve Kerr.
@@Leo-nc3yx if you could guarantee any of the guys in this draft make multiple all star games and put up 18/8 during their prime leading a good team to the playoffs every year - yeah they’d be the top pick.
@@Leo-nc3yx Mark Price was awesome
This is the 2013 draft all over again
I would honestly consider taking him first overall in this draft. His ability to shoot isn’t just great, it’s special. In today’s NBA, he’s not going to have trouble getting his shot. He might not be a lead guard like Curry but more like Klay and I think he has a bit more pop off the dribble than Klay. He’s got plenty of athleticism and quickness, he’s a good playmaker. I can see him becoming a 20/5 guy in the league.
If I’m the Orlando Magic I am all over this. He’d be the perfect compliment to Paolo, Franz and Suggs.
Welcome to Houston my guy 🚀🚀
Been comparing him to VanVleet. He needs the right situation to thrive.
Houston would be a perfect fit. Learning behind Vanvleet and playing with Amen Thompson long term.
more efficent fred and hes a multi time all star
I think he'd fit well in Houston, add some shooting, and steal 2.5 per game, offensively I think he can be a Monta Ellis, Lou Williams, Jamal Crawford type, maybe Jason Terry . I think he can be a great sixth man, and possibly even starter soon.
In 4 years at Wichita St VanVleet never put up a year like Sheppard as a true freshman though.
thats what I thought too he's FVV with better shooting. the perfect mentor would be him to Rockets under FVV
Do Matas Buzelius next he one of them ones 🗣️🔥🔥💯
Honestly if you are playing with Amen, Sengun, and Jalen Green, you don't have to worry about shot creation. Just spot up in the corner and knock down open shots off of the penetrations and double teams.
The shot creation concerns are super overblown, he acts like Reed couldn't score in iso but you can look up Synergy results of all his iso possessions (and watch them) and he scores on like 65% of them lol. His deadly shooting from both three and midrange makes it extremely hard for teams to go under so he often has a clear driving lane to the rim, even with his meh handle. They just barely called any plays for him, Cal was too busy featuring his "real" prospects Wagner and Dillingham (to the detriment of the team).
Kirk hinrich 2.0, going to be a solid player in the leauge for a long time.
I would love to see him in Charlotte between LaMelo and Brandon Miller playing the JJ Reddick meet TJ McConnell type of role.
reed is potential HoF imo and tj and jj are not even close to the player reed is
The offense would be great but the defense between him and LaMelo would be poor. We have seen that two offensive-minded guards paired together don't perform that well, especially in playoff settings. Maybe you could have Brandon guard POA, but I don't think that would put him the best position to succeed defensively at all.
@@raywright8479 reed plays great D and so does brandon so melo will be fine
@@thehighvibe5528 he does not play great D lol. He plays passing lanes well but he struggles at the POA. The game against Oakland he struggled to stay in front of his man the entire game. If future accountants were doing that to him what do you think will happen to him at the next level. Brandon, as much as I love him, will never be an all-defense caliber defender. That is what you will have to have if you want to pair Reed and LaMelo together.
@@Keezus. LOL you right, who would you think of to compare a 6'3 guard with a 6'3 wingspan who's a good shooter and plays defense?
I’d also see the Jazz as a good fit for Reed
need him in houston man he looks like an amazing fit for my rockets
Reed Shep, IS THE NEXT MARK PRICE. the resemblance minus the injury...
I'm a Wizards fan and I don't think they will pick him at number 2, but by just watching this video, I think I found my new favorite player. I like his game. I believe he will be good in the NBA.
Can we get a Kyshawn George video please?
Welcome to Houston, Reed!!! 🚀🚀🚀
He's going to look great in a Spurs jersey. 💯
His defense reminds me a lot of the way Jeremy Lin played defense in the latter parts of his career. People don’t realize Lin actually led all guards in blocks per minute by a long shot. He was second amongst all guards in blocks total and blocks per game behind only John Wall despite being 6’3” with a 6’3” wingspan. Lin was a more physical than Reed though and a bit taller, but similarly deceptively athletic.
a Donte with that KU guard buff should be in the first half of the lottery this year
Plays taller than his actual size. Looks 6'5" out there more than 6'2". Especially with the way he dunks with ease and gets in passing lanes.
Mock draft at3rd is wild! Man he is 6”2 third pick wow!
I know he’s no where close as a defender and he’s also much shorter, but I could see some shades of Klay Thompson with his shooting stroke and lack of shot creation.
Jason Kidd with shooting! Please be a @Spur
Will be excited to see him play under an elite coach. If you are shooting 50% from 3 and taking less than 3 or 4 shots a game, you are being underutilized. That would have been way easier to translate into more buckets at the college level than the pros, but he has a lot of time to develop under the right program.
At the 29 second mark 0:29 it is very hard to read the blue text on black background for people with crappy eye sight. If you could use a more contrasting color, it would be awesome! Thanks!
He looks alot like a Derrick White he’s gonna hit his ceiling fast
Reed Sheppard is definitely an intriguing prospect to say the least.
I want him or Castle in a Spurs uniform 🤞🤞
Do report on bronny!! 🙏
🔥🔥🔥
My favorite player in college this year only negative of his game is height has a hard time creating his own shit. Will get better and more crafty I feel has really high basketball iq
Really wanna see him team up with Wemby
A shorter Brogdon, good all-around but ground-bound, elite shooting, assassin type off the bench.
Brogdon shot 20% worse as a freshman and 15% worse as a senior, very bad comp. There are virtually no NCAA comps to him shooting wise, he's on his own planet. Closest I think there is would be "Steph Curry if instead of having him run the offense his team decided to make him a primarily spotup shooter, never screend for him, and told him not to shoot when he wasn't completely open."
Rockets pls
He's Austin reaves if you traded 4 inches of height for true knockdown shooting ability. The advanced stats are other worldly. Him, clingan, and sarr are the clear top 3 to me.
He’s a smaller klay Thompson holy a team is going to love him
A smaller Klay Thompson basically means he’s not gonna be as relevant.
Prime Thompson was that good because of his size,that he could guard up to 3 even 4 with his size and strength,
while Reed will be bodied by any one who’s bigger than him.
As the old saying,on the basketball court an inch is an inch,when you’re this short you either be fast like D.Rose,
or max out your handle like Steph or Kylie. Who needs a 3&D who’s only 6’2?
@@Leo-nc3yx he’s going to be a really good player that’s all I know he’s a starter
@@2024nbadraftHe's got some glaring weaknesses for the NBA level.
@@ngc-fo5te what?
The scary thing is, he shot much much better than Klay Thompson did in college... with a further three point line.
Telling people all year he was the best guard on that team
Lmao
Yeah he did great against tough competition 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Definitely true, yes.
❤
Remind me of Payton Prichard with more upside offensively
I think his ceiling is a better tyus jones . He wont be an all star but he'll always be in the conversation of best role player in the league
Future Pistons cause I know we will be the 5th pick again
You don't know that (and that tinfoiol hat looks good on you!), but he would be a fine pick at 5.
Lemme get them power ball numbers
Lmao you called it
@@scottwickett1273 he called it
Man 💀
Kyle Flipowski And Zach Edey And Stephon Castle
This guy is a Houston Rocket
Reminds me of jj redick with play making ability
Welcome to Houston!! 🚀
Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic would make great trade partners for this guy come draft time.
Future rocket 😍😍
Would you say Desmond Bane is a Bad comp?
Not bad. Bane is a few inches taller though
Steph curry with 40 ‘’ vertical
i dont think that he'll fit weel in spurs or raptors, i would say rockets, pistons, utah or even chicago
Welcome to Houston, kid.
Tj McConnell with no defense but with 3 point rage is a top 3 pick?
He is much more a 2 rather than a pg for sure
Very undersized at 2.
plz hornets pair him w brandon
Im convinced. Im taking Reed over Clingan for the rockets. rockets heavily need good shooting. especially 3 point shot.
He is the next Jimmer Fredette.
Bro is a bucket
So he's a rocket, right?
Yep
Rocket
He's a San Antonio Spurs
This Chauncey billups?
TJ McConnell with a 40% 3pt
Modern day Steve Nash
I don't see Donte Divincenzo in him at all. I don't know how you don't see Payton Pritchard or TJ McConnell in Reed and his game. Those three can be triplets. He's definitely going to be a top five pick being that so many teams at the top of the lottery are so thirsty for a PG/lead guard.
Payton Pritchard's best shooting season in college was more than 10% worse than Reed's freshman year. TJ McConnell same thing. And both of them shot from a shorter college three point line. Not all short white guys with bad haircuts are the same player.
@@JwebGuru My reference and comp was to a 2024 / NBA Payton Pritchard and TJ McConnell. Though honestly, if I was to compare Reed Shepperd to TJ McConnell and Payton Pritchard, I would say that those two right now are better than Sheppard. But in 3-5 years it may be the other way around. We'll see.
Best player in the draft dont @ me
if you only consider white boys then maybe... even then probably not😅
Year 1 I could see it but long term I don’t think his ceiling is high enough to be the best player from the whole class
Reminds me of a better Austin Reeves
He looks alright
could be John Stockton 2.0
People saying he is too short dont realize Curry is the same size as him. 🤦♂️
People saying he didn't get up enough shot volume also don't realize that the team like... literally never screened for him. He shot off four screens all year (and went 2/4 on them). Four! For guys his and Curry's size, it's vitally important that the team take some effort on offense to make sure they get an open shot, but instead they just kinda freestyled out there and hoped the defense broke down for a second and forgot where he was (something that happened increasingly less often as the season went on and teams learned to never ever leave him open).
Can't see him being a long-term starter on a competitive team, tbh. He has to have the perfect two-way, primary creator, tall guard next to him to make it work. How many of those are there in the league? He'll be an awesome bench guy though. Just don't wanna take him top 5 for that reason - upside isn't really there.
You mean like Cade?
He shot 52% from three, his upside is very clearly there lmao.
His creation is not gone even matter if he gets picked by the rockets
Talk about him at #3. He’s JJ Redick. You don’t take JJ Redick at #3.
Pistonssss
If he was so good he would have not let his team get bounced in the first round.
Reed to Charlotte
reed is curry x stockton watch
Bring him to Phoenix
Really hoping he falls to 11
