Here is an excerpt from CBS Sports:
Reed Sheppard, Houston Rockets
Sheppard was the star of summer league last year among first-year players. The former No. 3 overall pick performed at a high level but was buried on the depth chart in Houston because of a log-jam of guards already on the roster. So, what did the second-year guard do? Play in summer league.
Despite playing only two games, Sheppard made his case on why he’s ready for a big jump next year. He averaged 23.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists before getting shut down for the remainder of the event after two games.
