COMMENT: Will Reed Sheppard win ROTY?
BONUS: Over/under 39.5% from three?
PGs still somewhat underrated as a key piece in the league
Start amen at the 3 🙏🏿
If Reed gets minutes early in the season and Ime trusts him early off the bat. He has a great chance at winning ROTY with his shooting passing and him possibly leading the second unit I can defintely see Reed averaging 15 ppg and averaging like 6 assists with the minutes he his giving
I think Amen is a good 3. Red ROTY PG.
Zac Eddy is going to be a role player for the Grizz. He's not gonna be put in a scoring position. GRIZZ have already gone and discarded that route with Valentunis. He had too much usage, that's why they traded him for Steve-o, he was the perfect piece to bring the best out of Ja, Blaine and Trip, They want Zach to be a Steve-o II. Which means he's not going to shine offensively and it'll take at least a few seasons to become a good enough anchor on defence.
I see amen more of a point forward
Its going to be hard for Reed to win ROY but not impossible. He will certainly have to make some spectacular plays every now and again to keep him in the highlights and in fan's minds. I think his best bet for getting ROY is doing something no other rookie has done. Maybe most threes made or most blocks and steals combined. He already has the persona of being poised, now he needs to work on being seen as clutch and maybe even cold-blooded. Hitting a few game winners would certainly help. As a coach I'd use him to keep Fred well rested. It was clear that Fred's efficiency can really drop off when he's not healthy and well rested. You might get to see a lot of Reed if he can be paired with Amen to make up for his lack of shooting ability. Given the team's depth, however, it just seems unlikely he can get more than 15-18 minutes per game.
