Before the draft lottery began, major media predicted that the Rockets would pick Reed Shepherd, but at that time, the Nets were only predicting the ninth pick. But now that the Rockets have been drawn by God and have gotten the probe lottery, it is very surprising that many media still predict that the Rockets will choose Reed Shepherd.
However, Jonathan Fagan, who is a reporter for the Rockets, also tweeted and praised Kentucky two-way guard Reed Shepherd, feeling that he has the characteristics of a winner and can make any sacrifice for victory, whether Reed Shepard is drafted by the Rockets or goes to other teams, he believes that he will succeed. Jonathan Fagan has worked for the Rockets for many years and is basically half of the team's official spokesperson, and to be recognized by him means that Reed Shepard will definitely have two brushes.
This season at the University of Kentucky, a basketball school, Reed Shepard deserves praise, as the offensive arrow of the University of Kentucky, he can average 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, and Reed Shepard has a 100-step shooting ability, and the overall and three-point shooting percentage is more than 5%, which is obviously amazing. As for where he goes in the NBA, Reed Shepherd said it doesn't matter, no matter which team he goes to, he wants to give it his all and help the team win as many times as possible. The Rockets and Reed Shepard have been rumored to have been rumored for a long time, but there are two major problems in the cooperation between the two sides, one is that the Rockets have six young people in the rookie contract period, and it is difficult to give power to Reed Shepherd, and in the backcourt position, the Rockets also have Jalen Green, Fred VanVleet and Amen Thompson, etc., and the competition seems to be extremely fierce.
But Reed Shepherd has a good mentality, and he humbly said that if he enters the league, he can only be a substitute at the beginning, and he will not have any complaints. Obviously, the NBA is different from the college league, especially since it is difficult for rookies to get enough balls and shots right away, and Reed Shepard knows this. As the recognized number one marksman in this tournament, his ball quotient and playmaking ability are also underrated, and even the defensive end is very motivated, and opponents may be tackled by him if they are not careful.
Whether it's the Rockets or any other team, Reed Shepard is not averse to working with other ball handlers, and he believes that as a point guard, if he doesn't feel well or can't shoot, then creating opportunities for them will be his main task. Reed Shepard, on the other hand, doesn't relent, plays basketball the right way, and goes for the win as a member of the team, which is how Reed Shepard plays.
