    Reed wouldn’t even be able to dribble the ball past halfcourt against OKC

    He's played just under a game and a half in this series and has 16 turnovers. If only the Rockets had someone that bad.

    Not getting punked on the defensive end
    Able to run the point without panicking
    Able to make threes at a decent rate (not like someone who supposed to be a generational shooter)

    OK MAGA

    The Rockets shouldve drafted Wemby and Castle.

    In fairness he's playing out of position.

    Fox does a lot of the ball handling to take off the pressure.

    He's a net positive even with the terrible turnovers.

    I'm jealous he's not a Rocket.

    I‘m pretty confident that Sheppard will only have 2 TOs if he is facing this level of defense.

    20 TOs in two games is ridiculous. I can’t imagine how people on here would react if one of our guys did that. Really dumb ones, too - that back court violation was hilarious.

    Oh shut up. I didn’t say anything about Sheppard. We got dorks in here saying Castle is a better prospect than Amen. With regard to Sheppard, Castle has played basically a season more of minutes. I’m guessing if Sheppard was on the Spurs, they would have actually developed him and people on here would be like, “Why did we pass on Sheppard???”

    I think folks should just get over the Reed vs Castle thing. If the rockets draft Castle he’s good but probably shoots like sh#t. SA takes Reed and he’s much better than what we’ve seen over the last two seasons. It’s a no-win because SA is just a much better organization. They are way better at developing talent. It doesn’t excuse that the Rockets drafted an undersized guard with mid handles at #3. That’s a failure on Stone. But acting like Castle would be playing as well on the Rockets as he is in SA is delusion. The truth is, we aren’t going anywhere with this front office, no matter who we draft. If Tilman is content to play second fiddle to SA (and probably Dallas too) he’s got to live with that. But that’s what it is. Accept that we are a much lesser org and that means lesser expectations.

    I hope Reed is spending every waking moment with a basketball in his hands and I hope he’s going outside the org to work on his game.

    that's 10 TOs per game and he had 9.5 assists per game

    KD had 9 TOs in that 1 playoff game he played and only had 4 assists

    Dude, why do we have so many posters on here lining up to defend Spurs’ players? Screw all of yall.

    Imagine thinking 9.5 assists somehow justifies 10 TOs. Jesus. What a stupid position.
