Reed Sheppard Continues to Impress at NBA Summer League, Poised for Rockets Rotation

Reed Sheppard has once again been a standout performer at the Las Vegas NBA Summer League, averaging 23 points per game and appearing "too good for this level." Despite his strong showing last year, he struggled to find consistent playing time on a deep Houston Rockets team, but his visible improvements in strength and comfort with the physicality of the game now position him well to earn a consistent role in the Rockets' rotation for the upcoming season. His performance is expected to be a positive sign for Coach Ime Udoka.
