Compared to the last offseason when they made big moves to bring in VanVleet, Dillon Brooks, Jeff Green and others, the Rockets management can be described as "standing still" this offseason. However, with the addition of the third overall pick Reed Sheppard, the Rockets are still worth looking forward to next season. On the basis of their existing strength, in addition to the continued growth of their core players, Sheppard's path to stardom has become one of the most concerned topics in the outside world. In the new season award predictions of major media, Sheppard has become a hot candidate for the best rookie, and the support he has received is far ahead of other rookies. 12.4 million, goodbye Rockets, the management has put you on the shelf, and there are not many opportunities for you.

Although Sheppard was only the third pick, due to the poor performance of the first and second picks in the summer league, Sheppard became the only player in this lottery draft to be selected for the summer league's best team. His performance surpassed all rookies. Combined with his talent, it is not surprising that Sheppard became the most promising player in this rookie class. However, based on past experience, the draft pick of the best rookie is not the key point. The key is that a rookie who can win the best rookie award at least needs to rely on performance and data to support him to win the award. This means that Sheppard needs more time, opportunities, and ball possession to meet the expectations of the outside world. Obviously, letting him serve as a substitute for a long time will not help him win the best rookie award, but will affect his data.
