Reed Sheppard...consensus ROTY?
Posted on 8/5/24 at 11:04 am

Two ESPN writers polled 20 NBA execs post summer league and their consensus ROTY is Reed. He averaged 20/5/5. I was thrilled he fell to us, as I thought he was the best overall prospect at a position of need. Can’t believe I’m actually looking forward to basketball season for the first time in a long time. Any other Rockets fans feel the same?

He seems like a winner to me

Very efficient and selfless player. Dunno if he’ll be a star but I’d be willing to bet he’s a key asset for contending teams his entire career.

He'll be fine coming off the bench.

Seems really early to assume anything like this considering the season hasn't started and the competition he faced was not great, but with that said, he's a fantastic player with the highest basketball IQ I have ever seen, so no reason he won't be a star.

Yeah it wasn’t just about the stats there, he looked so smooth.

Im not saying the dude isn't good. But he was playing against the same guys he played during college regular season. No huge competition difference.
It's going to be different, way different when he's playing against NBA starters and regular rotation guys.

He wasn't good enough start over DJ Wagner in college so he probably a flop in NBA.

You know nothing about Cal, do you.

Stockton type player on the offensive side. Not a bad bet. If dillingham gels well in min the timberwolves will be top of the west and he will have 15 and 6 assist, in the hunt.

I think Sheppard will be a good rotation player for the Rockets as a distributor/scorer. But, this draft class was horrific. If he wasn't a favorite for ROTY, there'd be an issue.
