In this draft I think he's the best player in the draft. Sheppard with Green Thompson Smith and Sengun is a great young core to keep building.

That lineup defensively is not playable in the playoffs tho..
Great pick for the Houston Rockets! As a Rockets fan, I'm so glad that they picked him! The best shooter in this draft that the Rockets need which they lack last season! It really made my day! 😁

Amen and Reed coming off the bench together. Makes the Rockets bench the best in the league! Cam,Tari and Stephen Adams! Wow
Great draft for Houston Rockets

I remember watching his pops play at Kentucky in the 90s Jeff was a baller too.. Welcome to the city young fella 🚀 🤘🏾
He should send a thank you note to Steph Curry for being picked this high.

Reed have a lot more athleticism than Jimmer. He's a shooter who have 42" vertical jump. The problem with Jimmer and Adam Morrison is they are not good enough athletes. Reed have already shown more defensive tenacity in college than Jimmer.

Jimmer wasn’t an athlete or defender he was a straight shooter reed is a more than willing defender evidenced by his 2.5 steals a game and nearly a block a game and also is a great facilitator averaging 4.5 off the bench . And even though jimmer was a baller he didn’t come close to the percentages reed put up from 3 his highest was 44 in college reed put up 52 percent

@@user-he2zc6pl7uhes 6’1. Donovan Mitchell is undersized and he’s bigger than him. This kid has somehow hypnotized the basketball world and he’s shorter than JJ Reddick who was undersized. I’m so lost.
Reed has an amazing feel for the game. You don't have to watch him for long to see it. I think it will override whatever he lacks in size.
Welcome to Htown🚀🚀🚀🤟🤟🤟🤟
Now we need to draft Flipkowski and pair him with sengun bring in PG or Jimmy Butler
I hope Reed watches some Jason Williams highlights and learns to pass like him, he might be the next White Chocolate that can shoot 3's.

The only way this works out is if they lose Green to FA, or Reed is content with being the 6th man.
How you have the number 3 and number 8 pick in the draft and go out first round of the ncaa tournament?

As a die hard rockets fan this is an amazing group of young players unfortunately the rockets are gonna blow it up and mess everything up soon.
Nothing against Sheppard or Dilingham but just the way they did Drew Timme years back, they’re shading Antonio Reeves.
Modern day Forrest Gump
Jimmer Ferdette had a way better college career.
he reminds me of Jalen Brunson
If I draft that high and the pick isn’t a show nuff STAR, trade the pick for a legit player who is already proven. U dont draft role players that high. PERIOD
Does that mean the rockets move on from green?

UK fan here ... he shot (and made) it every which way last year, including off the dribble. Won't be a problem.
No way he gonna be good at that height. Free money. Out in 5 years or less.
Never should he ever be a top 3 pick in any draft that has ever happened.. this kids ceiling is ROLE PLAYER.. He wont start a game while with the rockets he'll never avg 15ppg. I heard him say D. Booker was his nba comparison. Boy shut up.. good luck getting a season averaging 10-12 shots attempted a game for a full season because i don't see it happening. Poor mans JJ Reddick. Slightly better Jimmer
