Rockets finally give Reed Sheppard vote of confidence with surprising rumor

Every rumor seems to indicate that the Houston Rockets have a lot of belief in Reed Sheppard. The latest scuttlebutt is that he'll have plenty of opportunities in 2025-25. That's what The Stein Line's Jake Fischer is reporting (subscription needed).

"The word out of Houston is that the Rockets will use the next few months to evaluate both recent No. 3 pick Reed Sheppard and standout swingman Amen Thompson in greater ballhandling capacities before Trade Season truly begins on December 15."
