    There is no way to know what will happen in the NBA - but Sheppard is the best shooting prospect in a long time. Off the top of my head,...

    BI is just not an Udoka-style or Rockets FO-style player at all. No dog in him, no defensive intensity or execution, grades out...

    I think most of us, even the pro Sheppard guys are dialing expectations way down by default because just from the stats analysis the...

    ATL and WAS probably won’t pick him for a variety of reasons. They aren’t good reasons IMO. ATL is run by a new FO (aka the owner’s...

    I think people just have a hard time coming to grips with the basic uncertainty of the draft. Sheppard might be a star, a role player,...

    My understanding is that the starting backcourt situation at Kentucky was a recruiting thing - Calipari made promises to get the DJ...

    I don't understand folks that don't have Reed Sheppard as our #1 option :) For real though... from a team need perspective: 1....

  12. carl_herrera liked RC Cola's post in the thread [3rd pick] Who do you want?.

  13. carl_herrera replied to the thread [3rd pick] Who do you want?.

    Definitively differentiating a guy’s p90 vs p95 vs p99 outcome is a fool’s errand I agree. But there is something meaningful to the...

  15. carl_herrera liked Tuckmose's post in the thread [3rd pick] Who do you want?.
