Reed appears done for the Summer. How did he do in your eyes?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Houston Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Rockets have had an underwhelming NBA Summer League so far, standing at 0-3 after last night’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Reed Sheppard has played in two of the three games, and it appears like he might be done, with the Rockets holding just one more game on Thursday.
In his first game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Sheppard had 28 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks on 10-for-25 shooting from the field and 6-for-15 from deep. In his second game against the Detroit Pistons, Sheppard had 18 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 steals on 6-for-19 shooting from the floor and 1-for-7 from three. Sheppard had 9 total turnovers in the two games, including 6 against the Pistons.
It’s not exactly the dominant performances we were expecting from Sheppard, but it’s also important to remember that Houston’s Summer League team this year is B-A-D bad. So what we want from you, is a grade for Reed in the VSL.
