I think I'd rather keep Phoenix's picks than trade them plus Sheppard plus Smith plus Brooks just for Booker. They're gonna go right back to being a 20-30 win team without Durant just like they were last time Booker was their lone star. Save those picks to go after someone like Giannis.Yeah Phoenix can kiss my ing ass. Reed scored 15 points in 9 minutes
Yep. I can’t believe Phoenix blew it at the deadline. I’m holding out hope for Giannis but, won’t be mad if they keep those Suns’ picks.
Jalen Green is going to be 80% of Booker in about 2 seasons. No point trading multiple assets for an older version of a similar player.
You're not getting Giannis without Amen going the other way.
I don't think that's even close to ever happening, and I hate Booker.
he does well against G-league teams.
80% of an All Star player isn’t another All Star player. It’s not the flex comparison you think it is. Not even a Book fan.
The Houston situation is interesting. Screw the PHX turd sandwich, I’d trade in all the chips for Giannis tho.
Nice job micro analyzing a player who's been an over rated draft pick bust. You can take any player in the league and pull a small sample and say he's good.
Idk why are people acting surprised about Sheppard's performance.
He's an athletically challenged elite shooter. He got easy looks against the worst team in the league.
It's not like he didn't dominate when they sent him to G-league.
His issues are physical, it remains to be seen if he'll be able to improve enough in that regard to be anything more than a Patty Mills.
Good to see you don’t know talent. He’s a shooter. Possibly an elite one. He needs reps
I’m also sure you don’t know what the word bust means.
Sheppard had a good shooting night against a team desperate to lose all their remaining games. What am I missing here.
I remember when Josh Primo was a member of the Spurs, the logic was that all fans needed to have at least three seasons of patience...
A good shooter can shoot no matter who is the opponent. You give them reps when you can.
It was a good night against a poor team. It doesn't mean much, but it's also to soon to call him a bust.
if there was one part of Sheppard's game i didnt doubt would translate, it was his catch-and-shoot abilities. but he's way too small to be a SG, and even as a PG is undersized. for him to have a successsful NBA career, he's going to have to leverage that shooting ability to create openings for himself to attack and playmake. the reason i was so high on him during the draft is because i believed that he'd be able to reach that point, but so far we havent seen it much this year other than a flash game or two
nice to see him knock down 3's at the end of a blowout i guess, but thats not the indicator we really need from him

Must explain why he's shooting 35% and 31% from three this season. Excellent shooter no matter the opponent.
Bryn Forbes would hit those open shots and didn’t cost a 3rd overall pick.
That’s not even remotely true.
I hope for your sake you are using not stats from 11 minutes per game. I hope you are not that dense.
Which part?
The part about being able to shoot against anyone. Top team and individual defense will put a ding in anyone’s percentage
I mean it directly deletes your dumb homer take. But I've been petty correct about my assessment of Sheppard since last year in college.
