Reed Sheppard, the Moment of Truth

Life has moments when it is necessary to step up and demonstrate the worth that is sensed. Reed Sheppard is facing one of those pivotal moments that mark the careers of NBA players. After a rookie year with fewer opportunities than expected, he will enjoy ample minutes and responsibility with the revamped Houston Rockets.

Talent abound, yet everything is still to be proven. Reed Sheppard is aware that it may seem unfair to demand a high performance from him this season, after being underutilized in his first year in the NBA, but his team needs him. The Houston Rockets have reinforced spectacularly, yet this has depleted the point guard position, particularly after VanVleet's injury. Lacking a pure playmaker, the team relies on Sengun and Durant to distribute the game, but they need a smaller player capable of doing it all on the court.

This is where his role emerges. Ime Udoka has already confirmed his trust in Reed Sheppard. "He is ready to be important, can fill in for VanFleet in some tasks, and we will need him. I am convinced that he will improve the more minutes he plays; his time has come," stated the coach of the Houston Rockets, dispelling any doubts about the player's importance in a new season full of excitement for him and his team.
