Reed Sheppard Is The Ultimate Outlier



Reed Sheppard Is The Ultimate Outlier

The Rockets took Reed Sheppard with the #3 pick in the 2024 NBA draft, and Sheppard impressed in summer league. I breakdown his summer league performance, and why his elite skill and elite feel for the game makes him special.

  1. Week draft they say.
    Its like 2020: analysts demolished the overall level of talent – and we have 2 All-NBA players, 2 All-Star caliber players + bunch of quality role players.

    Sheppard reminds Booker a bit, but already a more skilful ball handler + two-way credibility /changing pace like a vet.

  2. It's been a minute since you joined the NBA media. Nice to see you posting again. Curious what you think about Tyler Kolek.

  3. Reed also had quite a few closeout blocks at his time at Kentucky. His hands and timing are high level already. I think Coach’s use of “uncanny” put it perfectly.

  4. gonna have trouble with wemby, but spurs and mavs arent going to let the rockets waltz into the playoff this generation!

  5. Reminds me of fred vanvleet a little bit. Got great hands on defense and his a really good shooter. He’s gonna learn a lot from him
