What grade should the Rockets get for drafting Reed Sheppard?
The Houston Rockets selected former Kentucky Wildcat Reed Sheppard with the third overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The players selected first, and second overall were both from France, so Sheppard was the first collegiate player taken in the draft.
Krysten Peek of Yahoo Sports gave the Rockets an A for drafting Sheppard with the third overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Here is Peek's justification for giving the Rockets an A for drafting the former Wildcat, "Sheppard shot over 52% from 3-point range on 3.5 attempts per game and will be more of a combo guard at the NBA level. He's a little undersized at 6-foot-2 but has a high IQ and a solid floor when it comes to a young, skilled guard coming into the NBA.
