October 9th News Recently, American reporter Amin Elhassan participated in the podcast TheKevinO 'Connor Show, during which she talked about Shepard and Rondo.

"Sheppard is a rare young point guard who reminds me of Rajon Rondo's second season with the Celtics. At that time, the team had Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen. In that 07-08 season, everyone doubted whether Rondo was qualified for the point guard position. It turned out that he was qualified because he did what the team needed. As for the current Rockets, Whether Reed Shepard can be that player in the second year of his career remains to be seen, but anything is possible and Rondo is a success story. I think the Rockets have to figure this out early in order to decide whether they need to make adjustments and who to pursue if he fails." Amin Elhassan said.

"For the Rockets, they have to explore every opportunity and can't always pin their hopes on the next year. The future is full of uncertainty, so it is necessary to be proactive. Considering the current situation, I think the Rockets should go back to a player like Amen Thompson, give him the ball, let him organize the offense, and then see how other players perform. As for Shepard, he may be able to top it every night. The question is, will this position be Shepard or Holiday? Can Shepard be good on the defensive end? This could be a weakness, as he is easily attacked by opponents due to his small stature. What the Rockets need is a player who can drive offense, shoot and defend well on the court. Although Shepard performed well in college, there is still a question whether he can survive in the NBA. Ultimately, this could be a blessing in disguise, as it will allow you to see the true quality of these young players earlier and determine what kind of players the team really needs. "Amin Elhassan said.

During Rondo's second regular season with the Celtics, he averaged 10.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
