[Title]: The Rockets' pick: Reed Sheppard, the perfect choice to surpass Jalen Green
[Foreword]: In the NBA draft, the Rockets faced an important decision. The latest news suggests that they may leave this valuable probe in favor of Reed Sheppard. The 1.98-meter-tall and 86-kilogram two-way defender not only has both offense and defense, but has also shown impressive strength in the collegiate league. So, does his addition mean the Rockets will drop Jalen Green in favor of a more well-rounded new star?
Body:
Reed Sheppard, the young basketball prodigy, was the spotlight of the draft with his excellent physical attributes and all-round technical ability. With a height of 1.98 meters, a weight of 86 kilograms, and an arm span of 2.03 meters, he not only has excellent physical fitness, but also shows a very high level at both offensive and defensive ends. In the college league this season, he averaged 18.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 47.5% from the field and 41.5% from three-point range. Such a player who can play well on both the offensive and defensive ends is undoubtedly what the Rockets need.
Compared to Jalen Green, Sheppard has shown better strength in both shooting and defense. He shoots accurately and is able to score for the team in key moments; He is solid defensively and is able to limit the opponent's attack. Such a two-way guard with both offense and defense just meets the tactical requirements of Rockets head coach Udoka. In contrast, Jalen Green, although he has excellent individual ability, is slightly lacking in stability and comprehensiveness.
However, for the Rockets, does choosing Shepard mean giving up Jalen Green? This is a question worth pondering. After all, Jalen Green has shown great talent and potential in past games. His pace and explosiveness, as well as his creativity on the offensive end, are what the team needs. However, if the Rockets can select Shepherd, they will get a more well-rounded and consistent player. This is undoubtedly a huge improvement for the overall strength and future development of the team.
[Netizens hotly discussed]:
Some netizens believe that the Rockets' choice of Sheppard is a wise decision. They believe that Shepherd's versatility and consistency will bring more wins to the team. His addition can not only improve the team's offensive efficiency, but also strengthen the team's defensive system.
Some netizens feel that although Jalen Green has excellent individual ability, his instability and style of play that relies too much on individual ability may have a certain impact on the team's overall tactics. Shepherd, on the other hand, is more focused on teamwork, and his addition will make the Rockets' tactical system more perfect.
Some netizens said that choosing Xie Bade does not mean giving up Jalen Green. They believe that the Rockets can optimize the team's roster through subsequent trades and adjustments. In doing so, they will be able to retain Jalen Green's talent and potential, while also getting Shepard's versatility and consistency.
In the author's opinion, no matter who the Rockets ultimately choose, their goal is to improve the overall strength of the team and bring more wins to the fans. And the addition of Shepherd will undoubtedly bring more possibilities to the team. His versatility and consistency will be a big advantage for the Rockets in future games.
