He's intriguing especially when you consider his shooting. I will say he looks slow and small in those videos. Is he going to be able to do this against bigger faster players.
Just my opinion-
Not just he resembles Stockton, but he has that demeanor much like CP3. He has the command. Stockton didn’t really have to be fancy, but he was pesky much like Reed. People compare Reed to Hinrich or Derrick. I think he’s Stockton with 42 vertical.

If anyone in this draft is half the player Stockton was, he would be a consensus number one.
Exactly what I was thinking. Reed isnt a Magic or Jason Williams showboat passer. He is just a normal good decision making clean passer. Nothing to get excited about at all, but super effective.
Guys, Reed Sheppard is a good player. He's not a great point guard much less anywhere close to John freaking Stockton. He's a good secondary playmaker, that's it.
Ok, we’ll take your word for it.
Let’s flip the script.
Dillingham will always be a below average defender that will always be a liability on the court. That’s it.
Let’s see how you handle it when someone says something negative (and pretend it’s a matter of fact) about your pet players.
Lmao. I acknowledge Dillingham has defensive issues, my dumb friend.
If you actually watched Sheppard instead of living inside your rectum you'd know he's not John Stockton.
Legitimately made me laugh.
Hook, line, and sinker. You’re as predictable as always with your meltdowns and grade school insults. Off your meds again? Now why don’t you calm your samurai ass down sometimes? Yep, that’s right…
I get it that Devin Carter is by far the best athlete in this class. he is not tall, but has a long wingspan. but man, his shot looks really ugly to me.
so I'm su ious, that his decent shooting numbers in his junior year might have been an anomaly and his bad numbers in the first two years are closer to his true potential.
so, if he isn't that much of a point guard either, he might end up as an undersized SG with a below average shooting. that would be Avery Bradley at best.
so no, I don't see him as a intriguing option for the #8 pick.
Have listened to a few Wiz fan podcasts and they seem to think Jordan Poole will be playing PG next season after he finished the season strongly playing that role once Tyus Jones went down.
Pre AS: 15.6 PPG, 3.7 APG, 40% FG (52 games)
Post AS: 21.6 PPG, 5.7 APG, 43.4% FG (26 games)
It’s in the Wiz best interest to make the Poole thing work because of their investment in him and his contract, if only to rehab his value. So I can see him staying at the 1 next season.
This impacts their draft strategy. I no longer think they’ll take Topic at 2, or Dillingham or Sheppard. I can see them taking Clingan or one of the forwards in Risacher, Holland, Buzelis. Maybe Castle.
I can also see them trading Kuzma for a FRP. They could probably get the Bulls 11th pick for him.
measurment comparison between Steph Curry and Reed Sheppard:
Steph: height w/o shoes 6'2.00", wingspan 6'3.50", 181 lbs
Reed: height w/o shoes 6'1.75", wingspan 6'3.25", 182 lbs
It’s a fair concern.
Devin Carter has some similarities to Cason Wallace. Similar size, wingspan, weight. Wallace has a slightly higher standing reach by 3 inches.
Bruh I meant his demeanor and decision making, plus command is like John Stockton. I watch Reed play, nothing fancy, just clean passes and shoots when he’s open, plays hard. You know he’s just going to make the right decisions.
That's just disrespectful to Stockton.
He's arguably the best floor general ever if we talk about controlling the pace and consistently making good decisions.
Meanwhile, we don't know if Sheppard will even be a true point guard in the NBA.
This is thread is getting out of control
I'm sold. Reed Shepphard is Magic Johnson + Stockton + Curry all in one. Trade up to #1 and take him
Sheppard is way more like Kerr than Stockton or Curry. You don't want him trying to create off the dribble, but holy is he a good stationary shooter.
Kerr didn’t lead his team 4 steals and 2 blocks.
ok, that post of mine might have come at the wrong moment......didn't mean much more than to point at a pretty similar physical profile....if there is anything to take from it then maybe that you can survive in the NBA at that hight, if you are a very good shooter... (if you are very very very very very very very very good, you win MVP)This is thread is getting out of control
Pump them worn out brakes already. I think Reed Shepphard is OK, nothing great in my book. I would personally take him in the teens ore late 1st rd. somewhere, not the lottery.
Just to be clear, I was being sarcasticPump them worn out brakes already. I think Reed Shepphard is OK, nothing great in my book. I would personally take him in the teens ore late 1st rd. somewhere, not the lottery.
Yeah, I got that. Just couldn't resist including it to add some sauce.
There is a strong sense you'll get positive things from Reed and low chance of being a bust. How well he functions as a point guard is fairly wide open in my opinion. His shooting should open spacing but I don't see him as breaking down defenses and causing chaos for the defense. To me that's still a prioy, maybe the biggest priority. Then in comparing him to Dillingham, they both have defensive limitations, Reed less so, but still a concern. Anyway, I like Reed but can more easy see the impact Dillingham can have on offense. Dillingham is a really good shooter, just not elite. Anyway.
Saluan had himself a really good game in the french playoffs last night...
John Stockton per game stats as freshman
FT 0.743
