    Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Season-high seven points Monday

    Reed Sheppard ended with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and two rebounds in 14 minutes during Monday's 109-97 win over the Knicks.Sheppard saw double-digit minutes for the first time since Oct. 25 against Memphis. The third overall pick of the 2024 Draft has averaged only 3.1 points and 1.1 assists while shooting 39.1 percent from the field across 9.3 minutes per game over seven regular-season outings. Sheppard will likely continue to compete for a slight uptick in playing time with Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore in the frontcourt.

    Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Barely touched floor in win

    Reed Sheppard ended with one assist in three minutes during Monday's 106-101 victory over the Spurs.Sheppard played a season-low three minutes, continuing his disappointing start to the campaign. Despite the upside, Sheppard is simply too buried on the depth chart to have any chance at putting up viable fantasy value. Unless we see a shift in how the Houston Rockets are running their rotations, Sheppard is best left on waivers in all competitive leagues.

    Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Quiet in debut Wednesday

    Reed Sheppard totaled four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 loss to the Hornets.Sheppard played just 16 minutes in his debut, ending with a modest line. Despite being arguably the most talented player in the 2024 draft class, Sheppard finds himself battling a number of other up-and-coming players for playing time. At best, he should be viewed as a backend fantasy asset. Should the Houston Rockets encounter injuries at any point, his value could increase, as could be the case later in the season if they fall out of playoff contention.

    Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Makes impact off bench

    Reed Sheppard delivered 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal across 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 122-113 preseason win over the Thunder.Sheppard was one of four Houston players who scored in double digits in this game, and he continues to prove he's ready to make his mark in the NBA as a rookie, particularly from a scoring perspective. Sheppard was the third overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, and while he figures to play a huge role in the organization's long-term picture, he's expected to open the 2024-25 campaign as a bench option since Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green will operate as the starting backcourt.

The 20-year-old also impressed on defense Friday, but his 6-foot-2 frame could limit what he can do on that side of the ball against NBA competition.

    Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Goes No. 3 to Houston

    Reed Sheppard was selected with the third overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets.Sheppard should add a jolt of elite perimeter shooting to the Rockets while sharing reserve playmaking responsibilities with Amen Thompson. It's easy to envision Sheppard running two-man action with Alperen Sengun, or Sengun finding Sheppard for open looks coming off a variety of off-ball screens. The guard out of Kentucky is also a smart and active defender, though his 6-foot-2 frame will limit his upside on that side of the ball.
