Hell nah 😂😂 if anything a slower version. Do u not remember how fast n shifty Steve was? His ability 2 change directions w/ speed was second to none. U gotta remember Steve was a great at Soccer too. The dude could run. This guy is absolutely not more Athletic than Steve Nash was 😂😂😂
@@ProvenHueManWell he's definitely a better shooter than Nash. His vision is pretty suburb also. I watched virtually every UK game last year and there isn't really a spot on the court he can't hit from. Also the dude can flat out jump. He grabbed a 41 inch vertical at the combine and although a lot of people say he was slouching during the reach measurements there's no way you could slump more than 3 inches, so at minimum he still hit a 37-38 inch vertical which is pretty legit. Last year at a home game I watched him in block a layup attempt pretty much at the top of the square during a dead ball. He might not be a quick overall as Nash but he can definitely jump higher lol.
@@ProvenHueMan Reed's probably more athletically vertically...but in terms of change of direction, lateral quickness, I agree, Nash was on another level
@@MattyTheDon1414 6'3" in shoes, 6'1 3/4" barefoot officially. But my point was just it doesn't matter how supposably undersized he is, he outperforms taller, more "athletic" guards and wings. Reed is a phenomenal basketball player. PHENOMENAL!
You really think they gonna give him a super max worth 200+ mil? Brandon Ingram ain’t even getting that and he’s an all around wing. Reed is just role player. Doubt he’ll ever be better than FVV, and FVV has won championships at all levels. High school, college, g league, nba…niggas need to chill out. 😂
@@bobbyw1074 people getting too excited over summer league there’s plenty of guys who drop 22 in summer league and don’t even make a nba roster. Realistically it would be a big accomplishment if he spends 5 seasons as bench player in the rotation, on a competent team
I really try and not make too many assumptions based on Summer League play. But the dude just looks super comfortable like he belongs there and is way better inside the arc than I'd have guessed. I think Houston may have a gem on their hands.
I was thinking CP3. handles aren't as flashy, obvs, but still nice. also reminds me of Trae, but with a much better instinct for defending + the ability to dunk
Imagine a Steph Curry shooter with a rajon rondo mind ... That's who you have... I'm from Kentucky. ..watched him n high school play against my local team. And what he do in high school was like warm up. He knew how good he is. But he plays everyday to get better. You guys gonna love this kid. His game. His offensive mindset hea got it all he's a dominant on the ball defender you guys not seen that yet but you will and he will gaured you full court head to head. He is a rondo when it comes to watching the ball he will pick ur pocket fast and I've seen the man block many 3 points shots. Like I said his I q. Is so far ahead of rookie year. Man. We gonna miss him down here n ky. We wanted him back so bad. But he knows what's best. And you guys have a guy who will live in the gym. I grew up watching his mom Stacy and his dad Jeff... He's a NCAA champion during #7 s.e.c MVP ... Reed will help you're Houston team u can bet on that the entire farm.
There's a lot of Stockton in his game too. Very methodical and controlled with solid defensive instincts (defections and steals), like a certain John Stockton.
Us Kentucky fans were lucky enough to watch him all last year and know what he’s capable of. Cal almost tied his hands a bit at times aswell. If a team will just believe in him and let him make the right play,which he almost always does, he will be a huge asset. Glad the rest of the world is getting to see why he was picked where he was
@@jan279 I agree. KJ was super athletic. So no reed is not as athletic as KJ but he has more of the tangibles and awareness of like a Chris Paul or Steve Nash. But KJ would have been a superstar in today’s game. Damn.
Was literally saying he’s a smaller Devin booker coming out of Kentucky footwork and sound pace is sound shifty and his jumper is killer. Side note* THIS is what Bronny is not show casing at his size they around the same size at this size you need footwork shooting shiftiness ability to drive and durability (if you don’t got no athleticism or little of it ) and of course pace and IQ
Slightly bigger John Stockton, on the right team with a Karl Malone level player to work the pick and roll I could see him ultimately being up there on the all time assist list.
I was down on him but my lawd what was Kentucky doing not having him all ball last year 😂 right now look he’s best player in the draft shouldn’t went number 1
Why is this rookie so smooth, it's like seeing a more athletic version of Steve Nash!

You don't know ball, Nash was an amazing shooter, let's see if Reed can come close to that @@DaleDenton-ov5pg
He provides EVERYTHING you want from a lead guard. He is only 6'1" but gets more rebounds, steals and blocks than most guys 6'6".
Reed is 6’3

height in shoes is what matters lol@@BrianLawrence-vk3pu
tight handle and sharp shooting plus nice court vision, nice pick from houston
Oh my. This dude is going to be a problem. Future All Star in the making.
Bro there hasn’t been a good yt American player since bird 40 years ago. He’s lucky if he’s the 12th man
Gonna go a step further. Future hall of famer.

This guy looks smooth already - hopefully he does well 👍
Rockets getting him at 3 was a stealll 💰🚀
@@999triple4 huh? Lol you think he supposed to be #1 pick?
@@KingBerry23I think he’ll be better than the two picked before him.
@@superwong6601 he has to deal with a Jalen Green lol the other two don’t.
gonna regret taking those french dudes before him
Sarr for sure, but Risacher has a very smooth game, too.
plays like Mark Price
Finally a more realistic comparison lol
More like Chris Paul to me
Plays like a white guy 🤷🏽♂️
Definitely, but more athletic, his handle reminds me of Price, price was way better defensively than Nash but less flashy passing
@@bobbyw1074 I can see the passing but CP3 isn’t the best 3 point shooter
ROY for sure 100%
screenshot done
@@ozymandias2630Jalen green gone take every shot lol
Might not get the PT necessary.
Buzelis for ROTY
It’s between him and Matas based on Summer League so far
I been saying this myself
Cam def like playing with him. Already he finds a duo.
Bro you should include his 5steals and 1 blk on his stats defense also matters
Rockets got a special one. Reminds me of Chris Paul. He’s gonna be a future hall of famer.
I was thinking CP3. handles aren't as flashy, obvs, but still nice.

The way he surveys the floor is very impressive for such a young player.
very Nash like
perfect comp, Nash with more athleticism, maybe less IQ since Nash was one of the smartest ever, but much deeper range from 3
Good comparison.
More like a mix of Curry (Shooting) and Cp3 (Defense, playmaking, strenght and athleticism), Cp3 was way faster but except that they are very similar
@@Anthonydu01630in basketball they only compare players by race .
There's a lot of Stockton in his game too. Very methodical and controlled with solid defensive instincts (defections and steals), like a certain John Stockton.
Reminds me of a prime Adonal Foyle.
like a shorter Tsakalidas but with shooting, handles and passing
😂😂😂😂😂
That's what I said! I think they're from the same village.
I had his comparison as Kelvin Cato pre draft
@@Chris-kk6cw that’s a good one too
Wow, officially on my radar. Dude has crazy potential
Better than advertised 😊
Glad 2 teams passed up on him. 😄
Sheppard and Whitmore come off the bench next season 🔥
Nice to see a well mannered, humble, clean cut player, no drama, tats , crazy AF hair or police record....
Bro, your racist is showing 😭😭
Racist

@@ForgiveThem Bro gotta be trolling lol
Certified shooter
NBA needs more of This In League Reminds me of the PG version of TD Reed is Fundamentally SOUND SIMPLE and GOOD, AND A FAST LEARNER
Nice pick by rocket💪💪💪💪
this guy is so good. Reminds me so much of Devin Booker
Reminds me of “Captain” Kirk Hinrich. He will have a long career.
that mid range is going to be deadly
And again... He comes from Kentucky. That school have had some top notch traditionnal point guards. He is really fun to watch.
He's the best player in this year draft and he looks like an old school star.
Houston is taking an OKC level leap next season. They’ll be top 4 in the west.
Bro is smooth
Great pick Houston. 👏
“Logo” regen 100% 😤
1st from Houston
The Houston bench is going to be fun to watch! Reed, Thompson, Whitmore, Eason and Adams

If a team will just believe in him and let him make the right play,which he almost always does, he will be a huge asset. Glad the rest of the world is getting to see why he was picked where he was
Tied his hands yet he was drafted number three.
He is looking like a future all star
This is what a #3 pick does! Can’t believe ppl are doubting his pick
Picking a American yt boy in the first round hasn’t worked for 40 years since bird, there will definitely be better players drafted after him
@@degengam2781 Maybe not. He has as much potential as anyone in the draft
Reed Sheppard doesnt even need ball hog gloves bro! he smooth
He tough real smooth and polished game. With him playing like that him being 6’3 and undersized won’t be a problem at all
Modern Stockton
His game is so simple
Reed could legit run the point.
Ok ok. At Kentucky, I didn't see it. But here? I definitely see it. That boy nice 👍🏿
Superstar in the making. Reminds me of Kevin Johnson with more athleticism
I was gonna say Chris Paul but KJ works for me too.
KJ with more athleticism is crazy, KJ used to posterize centers.
@@jan279 I agree. KJ was super athletic. So no reed is not as athletic as KJ but he has more of the tangibles and awareness of like a Chris Paul or Steve Nash. But KJ would have been a superstar in today’s game. Damn.
Chris Jackson, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf
And that's how Kentucky keeps producing some of the best NBA players bar none it's in the sipping whiskey
The rocket is going to raise!
Reminds me of Wesley Snipes, if Wesley Snipes played basketball.
Rocket's young core looking scary
Cp3 and mark price vibes
Higher CP3😊

People are already saying “future hof” like dam can’t wait a little ?😂😂😂
he is now in my favourite lineup of all time:
Reed Sheppard
Austin Reaves
Larry Bird
Dirk Nowitzki
Nikola Jokic
I see a trend buddy 😂
No doncic😂😂 come on
You know what they all have in common…
Na cam is tuff🔥
He’s fundamentally sound man
Mark Price reincarnated this is what the rocket's was missing
Hell yes
Looks 6-1 in shoes at best, not exceptional quick or explosive, just high IQ and solid all around.
Reminds me of Stockton or Nash 2.0 Houston and the wolves about to be some nasty ass teams in the future if they keep they cores together
ROY TF 💪 🙌🏆😬🤷
Pure
John Stockton Steve Nash type of play style
he already better than Tyler Herro😂
Slightly bigger John Stockton, on the right team with a Karl Malone level player to work the pick and roll I could see him ultimately being up there on the all time assist list.
Only if bronny played like this kid.
He Look like 2nd coming of Mark Price or Steve Kerr
HE BETTER START DAY ONE
He wont because of vanfleet but the rockets may try to move him next year if its clear sheppard is the guy.
@@eduardodiaz1662 He is the guy! Im giving it till the middle the of the season.
I see alot of Chris Paul in his game, with better shooting. His game IQ is whats going to make or break him, and take him to CP3's level
John Stockton 2.0 😊
Reminds me of John Stockton
This what I thought Johnny juzang was gonna be smh
Reminds me of Steve Nash. Would have gone #1 if he were 3 or 4 inches taller.
Stephen Castle ganna be a problem to
And they still question cals abilities
Kentucky 🤴
As picks 3 e 4 , são melhores que 1 e 2
Next curry
I mean high floor but low ceiling. I see a Austin Reaves that's all
America still top, gonna regret those french analytics meechants
Tyler Herro build lol
His game reminds me of Devin Booker
Trea Young
He's sound fundamentally, was his dad a coach?
No but his mom and dad both played at uk, dad won championship
Bro nearly dribbles as stiff as Zach Lavine does 😂 but he got a good pace you can see the potential
His handle is tight and compact
how did you screenshot these video??
I was down on him but my lawd what was Kentucky doing not having him all ball last year 😂 right now look he’s best player in the draft shouldn’t went number 1
Higher CP3 ?
Will he take VanVleets job?
smart guy, is there anything he cannot do?
totally unfair for rockets to draft Reed.....dxxn
I like m...
This reminds me of when Luka doncic went 3 and Anton went 1 but Luka obviously a lot better than him
Next Steph curry incoming. But he’s never going to be better than Steph. He’s mostly going to be a consistent 3rd or 2nd team all nba member
I’m seeing Jeremy Lin
rockets way better than ur 🗑️ team 🤡
@@spideyhim8 idk Mavs pretty good mane, shoutout to a follow Texan though
trade green
VanVleet who?
Nice looking game. High dribble though.
