The basketball iq of Reed, Alperen Sengun & Amen are out of the world. Jabari Smith already shown signs of good basketball iq. The future is bright for the Rockets.
@@user-ju1yy6yc9fI can see a lot of Steph Curry's characteristics in his game, as well. He definitely shows the ability to be a three level scorer. It's just hard for me to commit to the idea of his overall ceiling being Steph Curry or better because Steph is an all-time great and those are lofty goals for any prospect coming into the league. However, Steph Curry is definitely the prototype he can attempt to model his game around.
Welcome to H-town. I like the energy he has and the efficiency on the 3's will see how it works in the nba. Seeing sengun pass to him on open 3's will amazing. Last season if rockets were just making the 3's that sengun kicks out everytime he in the post sengun would have a higher assist percentage than what he has now. Yes we wanted size for rim protection but we have adams to clog the lane with his size. Most likely line up for rockets is Sengun Jabari brooks green and van fleet with backups Adams eason whitmore sheppard and thompson.
@@kimoronen1823 His offensive game is very similar to Mark Price (shooting accuracy, passing, high IQ plays...) and his defense is similar to John Stockton in terms of getting a lot of steals and block shots for a guy of his size.
Those are great comps this kid has tremendous court savvy and high basketball IQ. The Rockets got this right even though the fit isn’t initially ideal having VanFleet start in front of him gives him time.
just don’t understand why houston is drafting so many guards, they legit should’ve traded this pick for some type of vet or idk. but this kid looks like a really great role player in the league..
52% shooting with only 12ppg curry averaged 25.3ppg at Davidson. This kid has not one similarity. There’s been so many great shooters and you decided to say he’d be better than the best 😂😂😂 kid could be a short Kyle korver at best
Let me clarify something to causals like you who just look at stats to determine what a player is like Reed Sheppard is NOT the "next Steph Curry," his ball handling is more on the level of a Chris Paul The reason why he made 52% of his threes in college is because he always took advantage of good shots.. Outsiders often criticized him in college for having only a few shot attempts in some games but he made up for it with his double digit assists and underrated defense All of this being said he's a smart hooper and though he may not have all the physical talent, his basketball IQ makes up for it as he knows when to reach in for steals, and get his teammates involved He's not going to be trigger happy and fire away from three but if any defenders sag off him to go double Şengün or Jalen Green he will make them pay
His stroke is awesome! His effort level shooting from 3 is like he's shooting under the basket. He shoots so effortless and when I say effortless...I mean effortless. Right now he should be a betting favorite at -1800 to win the 3PT contest at the Allstar game as rookie. He's that good.
He can help unlock Jalen. Get the ball out of his hands and get him better shots if he’s willing to move without the ball (Jalen). He’s also going to open up space for Alperen.
Funny, the articles I’ve read are all talking about how nba scouts are worried about his height because he was listed at 6’3 at Kentucky and only 6’1.75… uhm ok??? As if every single collegiate and nba player don’t mark up their height by almost two inches!? He only marked it up 1.25. Crazy. I’m not even a Kentucky fan or a Reed supporter. I’m just a basketball nerd. The kid has great lateral movement and a 42 inch freaking vertical!!! Stop it. He is Curry’s height.
This is Vanvleets last season here after 2024-25 and Reed will start off on the bench and he'll be mentored by FVV and he'll be fully ready to start by the season after next

More like he's going to be the one feeding Sengun, believe it or not his primary skill is not being a shooter

Kids got skill. I discovered him when I bet against the wildcats one day. He ended up ruining my parlay. Let's see how he transitions to the League.
One thing I like is the patience in scoring he don’t rush his shots, really uses his techniques

Might be rookie of the year with the right amount of minutes
Future 3pt Shootout Champion for sure
A point guard with acumen. Love it! 🏀
Best 3p shooter in college Ball smart move Stone and Rockets
He’s balling 🏀 Quick, aggressive, unselfish, with a pure jumper. What’s not to love?
Kind of reminds me of the new head coach of the LA Lakers. Let's blast off Rockets!!! Solid
WELCOME TO HOUSTON ROCKETS 🚀 🚀
Poverty franchise 😂
He reminds me of Mark Price and John Stockton.

The next mark price, the play almost identically alike.
Thats a really good comp good shit
The Houston Rockets selected.. 🎉
Don't look 3rd pick in the draft good to me!!!
Nothing is as it seems with draft picks, and if a team has development training, he could go far. We"ll just have to see how Ime uses him.
he really doensg
Yo he's unique for sure undersized but efficient elite jumpshot
He's more than that, he's like prime Chris Paul in how he gets his teammates involved with the basketball IQ he possesses
that was fast 😂😅
we fucked up 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾
Reed... Shoot the med ball like a basketball
His dribble reminds me of Jason Kidds😂 am I the only one ?
Perfect for sengun and jalen.
Fact he can steal/block/defend and his size and Shoot 52% from three is crazy
housten could fight for the ring next year, this guys the next jordan!!

Smaller klay Thompson
bro we then had like 4 top 3 picks in the last 6 years and hit on sengun , and easton … come on now do something 🥢🚀
Will he play at SG?
I think they will rotate him in at PG and SG. The game is merging the PG and SG roles in my opinion.
He will ride the bench and be out of the league in two years.
Combo guard.. He will probably learn the point from FVV for a couple of years then take the reigns from there.
