I know it’s only summer league, with a lot of guys that won’t even be in the league when the season starts, but Reed looked right at home. 23 points in 30 minutes, 4-of-6 from three, five assists and four rebounds. Dude just has something. Gonna be so interesting to see how he fares when the real rosters are involved. Bronny looked like what he is, a late second-round pick that is a long way away from helping an NBA team.

I saw some plays where Reed absolutely schooled Bronny and Dalton Knecht. Great start to the young man's professional career. I'm a fan of  young Mr. Sheppard !!!

Detroit defeated the Rockets 87-73. Shepherd was held to just 15 points tonight. This was his first game in the summer league when he struggled a little. He was just 6-17 from the field and 0-2 from 3 and 3-3 from the line with 4 turnovers and had a +/- of -14 for the game.

Hard to take tons from Summer League, but Sheppard is off to about as good of a start as you could hope for.

On the other hand, Sarr has been absolutely terrible. May be some more stats now, but I think I'd read that he'd started 1 for 22. Yikes!
