Reed Sheppard

The guy with one of the worst ranges, and this doesn't even k- in account for the largest ranges, so to speak.

It doesn't even account for your major dork's hatred, is Reed Sheppard, who has an ADP of 118, but, uh, my best case for him is 61.

So you wanna take the swing on him, go for it.

Worst case is outside the top 150.

I don't know if you wanna hold that.

Reid Sheppard.

Yeah, at this point it'd be a good place to consider him.

Yacksel, that's a good pick.

And then Marcus Smart, who you've mentioned already in the show, but between Fred VanVleet and Marcus Smart, their experience and their just savviness and understanding of the game, I think they're gonna do a much better job of getting Kevin Durant in his spots where exactly he wants the ball, and just having a better understanding of that.

You know, not to mention just the ball-handling aspect of it, right? The, just the simple ball-handling aspect of it, taking that off of his plate, taking that off of Amen Thompson's plate, taking that off of Reed Sheppard's plate to a large degree, and, and that being their responsibility, that's the big part of the process.

Now, I think there's gonna be an, a, a coaching element to this as well, which is something we have not brought up.

But I do think that there is, you know, it's, it, it's not just plug and play Fred VanVleet, plug and play Marcus Smart, even though I think those are the biggest pieces of this.

It's really hard.

I've got Reed Sheppard here because I don't think Emile Dok likes him, plus they get VanVleet and Marcus Smart back or into the lineup, which weren't, they, they weren't there last season.

And then Jalen Suggs would be way higher than this if we weren't concerned about him being injured all the time.

And the final tier, tier nine, for shooting guard eligible players.

Yeah.

Reid Sheppard at 24.

Reid Sheppard need to be 29.

He need to be off this list.

Yeah.

That looks pretty, that's a pretty good take based on sort of what happened with the Rockets offense during the season.

We like the idea that this injury, didn't like the injury obviously, but okay, Reed Shep- r- one less guy in Reed Sheppard's way, right? That we, y- that you lead the Reed Sheppard charge, but I hop on the ba- I come with you.

I, n- I, I forgot that I had this take, and it's interesting.

It's kind, it was kinda right but kinda not.

That's like 26% of the cap on average.

A player option the final year, but I think that's, that's fine.

Um, I, this is, this is what's interesting to me, kind of the, the core discussion here, is I don't know, I did have questions about their offense, but as someone who wanted Reed Sheppard to get more of the keys, I don't think he got enough of the keys-

Yeah

I bit the bullet and went with Joel Embiid, uh, with the first pick, and then, uh, could not be a more opposite pick, Mike Brown, he followed.

Nick Claxton, Anthony Black, Toumani Camara, Marez Johnson, Reed Sheppard, Julius Randle, Rudy Gobert, Jared Allen.

A really...

This is probably the most, I guess, for lack of a better term, eclectic mix of players we've had in a single round.
