He will work on his game and get better his ceiling is down the road and determined by his work ethic and passion to constantly improve. Reed is a high character guy who could carve out a meaningful role for a team in the future.I will enjoy watching his journey in the NBA even if it. Materializes to a off the bench shooters role.
Reed Sheppard going to have a better year two?
- Thread starter akaukswoosh
- Start date
If Reed’s goal is to develop into a multi-contract NBA player, then he will have a far better chance doing that on an NBA team, especially while not being forced into a starter role right away, than he would have a second or third year at UK. Unlimited hours to practice and coaches who will teach you how to be an NBA player. I would have liked to see Reed under Pope, but he 100% made the correct decision If he wants to stay in the NBA for a second contract and beyond.
How is it working out? Did you even understand what I said? Reed has an unlimited amount of time and resources to work on his weaknesses with Houston. They invested a guaranteed $20 million in him, WANT him to succeed, and will give him all the tools to do that. Another year at UK would have done NOTHING for his draft stock or his development.
If he doesn't turn into the next Stockton or Nash taking him 3rd is going to be a really bad idea. I'm still in shock he went that high. I figured 20-30 at best so he made a great decision for himself IMO. Stockton went 16 and Nash 15 after graduating.
Not bad for a bench player, but we said the same thing about Reddick and he worked hard on his defense and had a good career.
With Van Vleet’s injury, Sheppard is going to get his shot. Let’s see what he can do.

Reed Sheppard: ‘Confidence at all-time high’ entering crucial sophomore season in Houston
“My confidence, right now, is at an all-time high,” Reed Sheppard says entering year two. “I feel really comfortable with where I am, with my body.”

Didn’t want to recruit him but recruited him and offered him a scholarship. Y’all are so full of hatred that you habitually lie.
This reminds me of the time yall lied and said Cal didn’t want to recruit Travis Perry but he came anyway because of his love for UK.
