    Reed is further back, which shrinks him.

    Reed is tiny for an NBA player looks like Spud Webb.

    I saw a pic of Sheppard next to Houston Rockets legend Earl Boykins, and Boykins is definitely taller

    Are we 100% sure Reed isn't Little Mac from Mike Tyson's Punchout?

    Reed is 5'9 confirm. But we all know that he is still growing. By training camp, he will be 6'0. By the end of the season, he will be 6'6.

    Would've been a bad fit. Probably just sees a lot of himself in him so maybe wants to help him along.

    So Trae Young sees another score first PG who will never lead a team to a championship?

    Applying that metric universally, how much would be the appropriate amount to care about what you post?

    Why isn't he training with FVV the captain of the team? FVV unlocked Jalen Green last season.

    If a year full of failure other than 8 games is being "unlocked" we don't want that to happen to Sheppard.... we're hoping he'll actually be good.

    Reed's been training in LA since the end of the college season so probably a continuation of that. He has the entire year to train with Fred and only a few months to have access to someone like Trae.

    FVV might need to go to the locksmith for another key. :D
