A few days ago, the 2023-24 NBA regular season has come to an end, and the records and rankings of the 30 teams have also been settled. The Houston Rockets, who are loved and followed by fans, have a 41-41 record and are in 11th place in the West. Although he did not make the playoffs as he wished, under the strategy of head coach Udoka, this young player swept away the decline of previous seasons and became a force to be reckoned with in the league.
What's more, since the Brooklyn Nets completely missed the playoffs, the Houston Rockets will get a high first-round pick. At the season summary meeting, when General Manager Stone was interviewed by reporters, he promised to make persistent efforts to inject new talent into the team and improve the overall strength of the Houston Rockets. According to Shams, insiders revealed that Stone has started the draft, and the Rockets want to take Shepard, the No. 1 guard of this year.
In fact, Shepard is not only solid defensively, but also skilled on the offensive end, like a Swiss army knife on the basketball court. He has an amazing shooting ability, a grasp from beyond the three-point line that seems to be an innate talent, and every shot is amazing. And his mid-range shot is like a sword out of the sheath, precise and powerful, always creating a threat. His offensive efficiency is extraordinary, and he always exceeds everyone's expectations and is the highlight of the game.
Shepard's ability to move off the ball is just as good, and he seems to have a talent for dancing on the basketball court, graceful and agile. He is always in the right position at the right time to create attacking opportunities for the team. His potential and talent are impressive, and there's every reason to believe he can become a top-tier outside pitcher in the future. In addition, Shepard's ability to control the ball, various techniques and basic skills are also worthy of recognition.
The Rockets hold the Brooklyn Nets' first-round pick, which is very much in line with Shepard's current draft market, and the Rockets do have room for improvement at the No. 1 position, and they do need a backcourt player with projection ability and outstanding defensive ability.
