Cam Whitmore finna lose his damn job
He just dropped 49 points in 37 minutes in his G-League debut...
Edit: w Video
Some of those assists credited to him in the first half are pretty generous from the statisticians. The second half though shows some of the weapon the Rockets may have.

Damn is that a g league record ?
i remember jimmer did the same in the gleague
Not even for this season.
Reminder that post-draft reports from the Express-News had him as high as #2 on our big board (ahead of Castle at #3).
I still think he has a future in the association.
The shooting and opportunistic play will translate eventually.
On most lottery teams he would be getting more PT and a chance to develop but Houston has a crowded backcourt rotation and Udoka is emphasizing defense.
This is true. I think Reed might be coming back up sooner than later. Cam Whitemore is showing why his stocked dropped with his ass at ude
Well, it seems like he can create his own shot afterall. And before someone says "g-league", let me stop you right there. Self creation isn't something that you are gonna suddenly switch on playing lesser compe ion. Wesley isn't putting up 49 in the g-league.
Jerdarrian Devontae Davison put up 48 this season.
We'll see what happens with Sheppard.
He's looks tiny and physically overmatched in the league. And he's shooting 28% from three. Castle is considered a massive shooting project and is shooting 26%. If he can't shoot it at an elite, elite level he has no chance of making it in the NBA.
It's good the Spurs avoided having to decide to draft him or not.
He can't create his own shot at all, not at the NBA level. He could barely do it in the NCAA. This just shows how bad the G-League defenses are. It seems like ages ago when people swore that -ass league was way better than college, the days before Ignite imploded.
Sheppard is very slow, has no shake or wiggle, and his handles are nothing more than rudimentary. In the big league, he's nullified if anyone is in his vicinity. Houston will have to game plan getting him open looks, because he won't be able to run a pick and roll or get himself or other people open. That may change over time, but Jimmer had way more self-creation. TJ McConnell has way more self-creation.
Then there's the other side of the ball where Sheppard is too small and slow to affect even basic guards, much less switches.
Sooooo...we're talking about a guy who was gone before the Spurs had a pick.
Wow, you're quick on the uptake there Sparky.
Yeah. That was worth clicking "view post" for.
Because that guy probably has that ability, but most likely isn't NBA level. You can have that ability and not be an NBA player and viceversa (for example, Danny Green would probably never put up 50 pts as a main creator on the G-league, but he was an elite NBA level role player). I'm not saying Sheppard is NBA level, just that he has the ability to self-create.
Read above.
It appears reports of Reed Sheppard's death have been greatly exaggerated.
That's what happens when you have a bunch of couch potatoes online who think they are basketball scouts, analysts or NBA coaches lol
now i understand why sga scored 51
shade of john stockton
Castle better
It is all ball screens.
