I would describe Reed as a sneaky athletic, high basketball IQ, gym rat, coach's son, blue-collar worker, fundamentally sound, gritty player, hard-nosed defender, glue guy, lunch pail guy, first one in last one out, overachiever, crafty with the ball, plays the game the right way, floor general, hustle player, high motor, student of the game, scrappy player, and team-first mentality. Additional phrases include tough as nails, floor burns, workhorse, unselfish player, silent leader, cerebral player, headsy, grinder, plays with heart, savvy veteran, knows his role, lunch pail mentality, overcomes physical limitations, does the little things, consistent performer, defensive specialist, reliable shooter, clutch performer, high-character guy, solid fundamentals, not flashy just effective, brings his hard hat, physical defender, great off the ball, team player, student of the game, mentally tough, self-made player, underrated athlete, floor leader, relentless effort, smart defender, battles in the paint, brings energy, heart and soul of the team, consummate professional, sets good screens, hustles for loose balls, great locker room presence, plays bigger than his size, leader by example, executes the game plan, keeps the team grounded, consistent effort, plays within himself, maximizes his talent, always prepared, great basketball mind, respected by teammates, and never takes a play off.
Type of guy you would let date your daughter, first guy in last guy out, blue collar type guy
I agree with everything you said. To add, will probably end up a fan favorite and an all star.
Dude wrote a whole story about Reed like he knows him clown...
Proud papa
@@illegokingz Y'all hate on everything...
Fred Vanvleet
Jalen Green
Dillon Brooks
Jabari Smith Jr
Alperen Sengun
Amen Thompson
Reed Sheppard
Cam Whitmore
Tari Eason
Steven Adams
This is going to be an elite defensive team and they will 100% be in the mix for a playoff spot!
After a few games your going pair adams with alpi i guarantee it.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying since last season. We need to cook the roster down. Way too many guys that need significant minutes.
5:48 , we didnt extend sengun bc of the new CBA rules , waiting a year to extend him actually gives us a ton more cap space , look at the 76ers with tyrese maxey for example
Got it thanks
Spurs is completely pissed off to miss Reed in the draft....imagine pairing Reed with Wemby......
Rockets also imagining that had they gotten Wemby last year.
As a Rockets Nation member I can say I'm happy we got Reed but castle is going to become a great compliment to wemby
The Rockets post Harden have just been on a tear in the draft. In 2021 they brought in Green and Sengun. 2022 Jabari and Eason. 2023 Thompson and Cam Whitmore. And now Sheppard is joining them. This is one of those situations where it's harder to not screw up than to screw up. I don't know how they're going to pay these guys down the road but they have a high ceiling prospect in every single position on the floor and more than one in some positions.
I actually don't like how balls are not going through more with Smith and Whitmore. It's too much Green. Needs to manage his minutes especially when he's streaky missing.
@@bigradwolf5001 I think he's still seen and treated as the franchise guy.
@@SonnyK248because you can’t deny the next level athleticism yes streaky but we have guys who have the potential to leap and make jalen off nights less crucial bari needs to develop better handle and shots off the dribble he still has alot of potential to grow look at jaylin brown then cam can be another 16 a night guy off the bench just give them time man we have a squad
He will kill with the Rockets
Facts
The reason they haven’t extended Jalen and sengun is for salary cap reasons so they can have flexibility to pick someone up if they can. They are 100% going to extend both of those guys I have no doubt.
I am not sure about Jalen Green getting an extension. He hasn't played like a max player, will he want a max contract? Would someone else give him one? Probably not, I think he gets a Anfernee Simons type deal... maybe a little more.
As a life long rockets fan I’m fully confident adding Reed will help us and I’m praying we’ll extend Sengun and Green. I hate the new rockets fans and how impatient they are but those two will develop for the better
🙌🏼the management know this too unless green forces them to draw a crazy trade you can’t and can play 15 players
I don't think you box in Sengun and Green together. Sengun has done well year in year out.
We didn’t extend Sengun because of cap space reasons. It makes way more sense to extend Sengun next year, just like what 76ers did with Maxey
Great video
Great vid
This could be the piece that molds it all together, now it just takes times
Could be the next Steve Nash. Highly efficient and crafty.
Nah I've not seen him playmake much. But that's ok as long as he's hitting.
@@bigradwolf5001 Maybe not yet, but Nash wasn’t known for his playmaking coming from college as well. Nash also was in the shadow of Kidd and KJ for the first few seasons before given the chance of PG, which he earned by coming off the bench being efficient. Sheppard does have athleticism compared to Nash. I think this guy is a gem when it’s all said and done, and I’m not even a Rockets fan but a Suns fan.
The extensions to green and sengun didn’t happen due to cap space structuring. Signing today vs next year has a big effect on flexibility.
Rockets needed a guy who could hit the jump shot. Too many times last season they needed a bucket to stop the momentum or to really step on the opponents throat, but would miss. They have plenty of slasher/iso guys who can kick it out to Reed to start. Once he gets his legs under him, he will eventually be a Mark Price type player only I expect him to be better. Looking forward to next season!
If we get a Mark Price 2.0 I'll take that!
the Sengun extension has more to do with cap flexibility to possibly bring someone else in and then extend........unless im way wrong about the new cap rules(first and second aprons) and they want to move him which seems unlikely
"Archetype" 😂😂😂
42.5 veritcle is insane🤯🤯🤯
He just went off today
Absolutely agree with all the statements in this video
The rockets have a lot of shot creators/makers and R33d can fit right in by scoring points without dribbling the ball! Can Fleet will be a great mentor for him also!
I mean Rockets picked him before the Spurs had the opportunity, which would've been a crazy duo in Wemby and Sheppard...
Rockets a top 5 team in west next year
You are drunk. I hope you are right but highly unlikely
Rockets won 40 games last year and was on a 11 game win streak at the end of the season. You're drunk if you think it's unlikely to happen because Rockets has fixed their biggest issue and Alperen Sengun is healthy again.
This year not next year.
This year not next year.
they are still at least a year away from being competitive, might sneak into the playins this year.
I would pay to watch Reed, Curry and Caitlin Clark in a 3pt shootout.
Rockets got some contracts expiring next year and there are going to be some odd man out. Sengun? Green? They are both going to be restricted free agents where the rockets can match the offer. I think the rockets are just waiting for other teams to give offers first to match and to see how well green and sengun progress this year.
Rockets will extend both of them next offseason. They didn’t do this summer because it makes more sense to do it next summer because of cap situations. Similar to what Philly did with Maxey last year
Reed is good he reminds me of Chris Paul he’s a very smart player who is just better than people it’s that simple
He so many similarities to Tj McConnell
He way better than TJ being a #3 pick prospect
Mark price
JJ Mandaquit
Post Harden Rockets is stacked
🚀🏆
💪🔥
He came off the bench but basically played full game mins at almost 30mpg. 🤷🏽♂️
let's see how he 'll do in the summer league, will be facing tougher, quicker and more physical D than college
Also, he admitted he kinda cheated on the vertical test, instead of stretching his arms out on the vert tec he didn't reach as much as possible initially then on the jump fully extended his arms to give himself 3 or 4 inches he said.
That's how small people dunk anyways.
He is like the white guys of old as long as he work on his leg and knee strength and not over do it he will be a superstar for a long time
are they really gonna let Jalen Green go? The roster pieces fit on a fantasy team and stats, not in real life.
Shades of Shane Battier
Dude why not he has someone good to learn from,Fred Van Vleet,another great shooter
This is a Message for all you Houston Rocket Fans! We are going to Win the NBA Championship Next Year!! I'm is the Exact coach that we needed! AS FOR THE NBA draft, Reed Sheppard is the Exact Sniper that we needed with his high I.Q! WE HAve the youngest, deepest and the best Core in the NBA!

Look out Roket fans, we are gonna Sho v k the We are gonna shock the world with this core and Win the NBA Titles not only next year but become a Dynasty!!!
🤘🏾
White boy summer! 😊
Green is the best player won 11 in row without alp block paint and you say like old man block a shot some time
Houston Rockets need pursue Lauri Markannen or Karl-Anthony Towns to compete WEST PLAYOFFS
Stay away from KAT
As a Rockets fan, yall gotta chill. He has yet to play a game. Yall acting like we bout to be a top 3 seed next year now or something LMAO
Not top 3, top 1.
Never be happy to lose
Got that 200 easy
Yessir appreciate it
Houston will be the champions next season because they drafted sheeppard?. . . He will only share minutes with green, cmon houston show us a super team not just this kind of lineup...
Amen is a Point forward at best fast athletic draymond not back court for Htown standards think Calvin murphy tmac harden kenny smith Kyle Lowry hell even Stevie Franchise and cat 🙀 amen don't fit what Htown is use to
I feel like Fans are try to force him to be a PG. it’s a reason why the coach put in at the 3 because that’s where he thrives at
@@DVic56 In modern NBA, except for center, the 4 spots are position-less.
Yea rockets fans don't just follow the narrative most of us know better ...if SAS or Mike Wilborn say Amen and Reed is the backcourt of the future depending on what they do with Jalen ... I'm like ok but if a rockets content person says it I'm like
What the propaganda are you saying ...lol 😂 how bout Jalen cam at 1 and 2 ... how bout Reed and tari at 1 and 2 ... I mean if Reed and Jalen both play ime defense it ain't no what they do with Jalen If his defense is good enough to keep cam and tari out of the 2 , then Jalen is probably a Super star , Gaurd ...
Get off Jalen Green
Yes salary wise, we need to let go either Green or Sengun to make salary up for the other 5.
@@bigradwolf5001 Jalen and Sengun are out best players. Makes no sense to let either of them go when the other guys are still unproven
Overrated
Sengun not better then Sabonis, passing the ball, which would make him 3rd best passing center in the NBA
Bro what yes he is🤣🤣 you must’ve not seen whenever they play each other sengun dominates Sabonis
He is better
😂😂😂😂😂
Im sorry, i like Sabonis but Sengun's court vision is stellar, hes definitely a better passer than Sabonis. Your fandom is showing Mr. Kings fan 🙃
Congrats on Derozan btw
Reed a good shooter but the nba a whole different league. Lets be realistic hopefully he can shoot in the 40% range.
40% would be amazing for this squad
@@SnakeMaster420 The key is consistency....not 30% on long stretches and then 50% on some. But that's what Rockets is known to do. They struggle with tough defense early in the season and then shoot better when they're already in hunt for lottery next year, which btw, may be a good idea with Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, and Egor Demmin on tap.
