teammates wanting to play hero ball and not play through Reed. fair to say everyone fighting for their spot. Reed still showed maturity. I see it this way, its not always about the win but about how a player managers his emotions when things aren't going so well. We saw Reed dapping up guys when they're shots weren't falling. Reed showed maturity despite the loss.
The maturity we want to see is drawing fouls when the team is struggling to score. We can careless about coddling your teammates. They only managed two fields in an entire quarter against guys that mostly won't make an NBA roster but somehow he's supposed to challenge our role players for minutes. If he's as good as people say, there's no way we only score 9 points in the fourth with a couple if made field goals.
I totally agree with you. I liked how he tried to motivate cam after not hitting his shots. He showed signs of a leader and a good teammate despite the tough game and loss. People nowadays are so inpatient and judge players from game to game basis and expect everyone to grow into a superstar over one summer or offseason.
@AERrJORDAN We're praising guys for giving someone a pat on the back? Players tell teammates to keep shooting when their off all the time. Someone giving a teammate a high 5 as he's bringing the ball up is not impressive. Be a leader and find a way to score or find away to generate an easy bucket.
@@jihadmuhammad9491 i don‘t know if you realized. But no one cares what you are writing. I am talking with the original comment and not you
Really strong points and helpful observations. “hero ball” does the team no favors…
McVeigh already has one of the best nicknames ever - Hungry Jack.
Yeah the Pistons game plan was pretty much to stop Reed he was really the only one that can run the offense without him the offense was god awful.
Thats what Reed going to have to work on he needs to deal with guys that are going to be physical with him. Thats why him learning under Fred is a good thing because Fred has delt with bigger guys pressing up and being physical.
But I think Reed weakness will be negated because we have other playmakers and long and lengthy players that can help him out on both ends.
It it is what is Reed will get better. I think Reed and Cam will get shut down now for the both of them it’s time to get ready for training camp good epsiode Jackson
Reed was awful at running to offense too. He could not get pass the initial defender, he was not aggressive, could not get to the free throw line, and did not attack favorable match up when he had slower defenders on him. He's not the point guard that breaks down the defense that the Rockets need. We don't need other people to do Reeds job, we need him to do it. Scary thing is he looked bad against guys that probably won't even make an NBA roster.
@@jihadmuhammad9491 You must have not been watching the past two games 😂. Reed is everything we need in a point guard I’m not going to react on one bad game he had in summer league not to mention they been playing 3 games in four days so fatigue was a factor
Reed has showed he can play now it’s time for him to get ready for training camp and learn under Fred
@jalenjohnson0339 Where the defenders fighting over the screen the first two games or was he just getting open off a pick? Was Reed beating the defense off the dribble to get to the basket? Can Reed draw fouls? The only thing is going to happen when the season starts is teams going to pressure the ball and he's going to give it up. What I seen was a guy that wants to play with space, not aggressive or physical, and don't put pressure on the defense. I wish him luck going up against Amen Thompson, Aaron Holiday, and Fred in practice.
@@jihadmuhammad9491The Pistons were putting multiple defenders on Reed at one time. Reed didn’t have much that he could do. With better teammates, he will handle the defenders much more easily.
@vt8811 I have watched every game and can say that is not accurate. Why do you think on all the other podcasts the says he's not aggressive? You guys are not objective because you're rooting for him so much that you cannot see the obvious. He was shut down in the 4th against one defender and if he cannot get an open shot, he's not doing much else. He is not explosive so his entire game revolves around getting open and when he's not open he's not effective. I'm pretty sure Amen and Aaron Holiday will lock him up in practice.
I'm from Perth, West Aus so I'm a Wildcats fan but I followed Jack Mcveigh all season and I'm a giant fan... What I'll say is; he's not necessarily the slickest guy around but what you'll get is a really competent shooter and fierce never say die attitude and work ethic.
You guys are going to love Jake McVeigh, he's a straight baller and an awesome guy!
I watched this guy as a development player with the 36ers , he works and works and works & has the mindset. He'll do anything to win an make his team better . Seeing his growth as a Aussie watching our local league. You have a GEM. Amazing locker room guy. Just hope he gets minutes in a stacked rockets team that is on the up.
Good pod Jackson. the Rockets looked tired and a step slow all game. hard to glean anything from this game because the effort wasn't there. I think it's a credit to the Rockets that Washington was unable to distance themselfs till the final moments of the game even as the Rockets sleep walked through the game. AJ did have a better game but still did not impress me or change my mind on what I think of him.
Go Rockets! yeah it's Summer League, glad to see the team playing games. Next game will be interesting to see how they play with rest and additional practices.
Jack McVeigh is a great addition to the Rockets. Even though his role has grown with the JJs this year, he was valuable in small minutes too in their other finals appearances, so I hope he gets some solid Rockets minutes.
This the nba now he gotta get game speed no excuses it happens tho just gotta bounce back it’s summer league
b2b in SL is insane
I am really excited to see what Jack McVeigh brings to our roster. He has been a key contributor for the Australian team. He plays hard and smart. Just what we need.
To much sloppy play but we still good
Second night of a back to back. Should not be an excuse. What happened to Cam? 1 for 15?
IRS was foul happy because he was tired, slapping at the ball instead of moving his feet. It was obvious.
They can shut Cam down, but I hope they keep playing Sheppard in summer league.... Because teams will key in on him, because teams will hunt him on defense. Gives them a chance to coach him up on things and see how he responds. No need to go crazy with minutes though, no playing the 4th quarter or second half or whatever seems reasonable.
Go Rockets!
Go Rockets
meh. I'm not worried about it.
Go Rockets😊
They were doubling read a lot. Not to mention he didn’t shoot very well for him. Lastly, no one on that court could make a shot to save their lives. I think that was still technically the best shooter on the court during that game and he had a bad showing. Cam couldn’t hit anything
They were gassed. A lot of mental and physical energy expenditure in the first two games.
In just two games they gassed all while trying to get to the NBA
I’ve seen enough AJ griffin… I’m good
Give the kid a chance to grow. He's played very little. Jalen Green looked rough early on also.
Go Rockets 🚀
Reed for rookie of the year…book it!
Lets go Rockets
The should be called The Magnificent Seven
Reed will be fine as long as he plays minutes here and there with Sengun, Jalen, Tari, Bari or Amen. If they play him with holiday, Tate, Griffin, and Cam hes going to struggle. I hope they let him play with our stars. Hes not going to be able to be doubled with that lineup out there. He had both hands tied behind his back with no Cam and little talent beside him. They were tripling his ass from the parking lot.
🚀
Idc if it’s summer league. Cam Whitmore
Performance just got JG an extension
Lfg 🚀🚀🚀
aj Griffin won't make the roster
Starting to look that way
Go rockets
Tired, 2 games in 3 days.
Three games in four days.
@@greglyon1402 thanks
Reed got exposed, now its time for him to be aggressive or sit on the bench. As a top 3 pick and a point guard, its on him to generate offense. Reed either needs to drive to the paint to score or collapse the defense to find open shooters. He wasn't aggressive and he picks up his dribble too much to control the game. I personally think he struggles to get pass defenders so he gives up the ball alot rather than run the offense which makes him a none factor in the 4th. When Reed learns to be more aggressive and dominant on the ball, he'll be fine.
Other teams are watching film and planning ahead for Reed now… just like with Alperen and JG
Reed will more than likely be coming off the bench for the Houston Rockets and taking over primary ball-handling responsibilities for the second unit or sharing those responsibilities with Amen.
It takes time for rookie Point Guards to master all of their responsibilities, plus, Fred Van Fleet is our starting PG and will be for at least one more year after this, in my opinion. Reed will learn from Fred over time. That’s the best approach for him to be successful and to prevent negative impacts for the existing starters. This approach will also help him to build chemistry with additional players over time.
daniss jenkins gave him the buisness .
I blame Stone! He keep going after non-shooters and guys that are simply too selfish to play.
Nate always been a terrible team player. AJ Griffin is trash, too. Way too selfish. Why do Stone keep going for guys like that?
AJ Griffin is in the same viens of selfishness as Jae'Sean Tate and Amen Thompson. You cant win with guys like that.
Overall thouhg, the team was just off on their shooting, and good defense does that to you.
When an opponent team is getting physical like that, the goal is NOT to resort to hero-ball. Thats the worst thing you wanna do.
You wanna rely on perimter shooting by making sharpe, precise, passing with good timing and cuts, with a PG to make the quick pass.
Thats how you beat a physical, scrappy defensive team. But it was clear we didnt have the right guys to do that. AJ and Nate are terrible team players. Terrible! Thats why no one want them in the NBA.
Last thing.....Cam Whitmore will always be my boi. But damn man, his body language when his game is going south, is awful. He kinda gives up and mope around mad about sht. He gotta control that. It doesnt look good at all, and it affect his play.
Im probably the biggest Cam Whitmore fanboy in the Rockets fanbase so, Im not gonna lie about this.
Cam, when you shots not falling, and nothing going ur way, stay calm, bro! Get off offense and focus the mind on defense: steals, blks and 1 on 1s.
You do that, it sometimes have a way to snap you out of your funk. The worst thing you wanna do is get mad and give up. I saw you miss a shot and was so mad, you didnt even run back on defense. Thats a terrible look, Cam. End that! Never do that, bro.
Cam is so young. Maturity will come with time.
Kind of an overanalysis of a game thst they played literally 20 hours after the prior game. Cam and Reed been playing 32 min per game. Kids were just too tired to compete against stout D.
@@drkwsherrill
32 minutes a game for just 2 games, and they're tired? Ha....Cam is just 20 yrs old, and Reed is one year, older. Trust me, they aint tired.
