ESPN . Houston vs Minnesota . Talking about Reed , Dilly and Kentucky a lot so far!
Not sure what "HMMMM" or "odd" is supposed to mean. Everyone here loves Rob and Reed. I was watching the game last night so I could see them both. Reed has been the MVP (at least top 2) of Summer League so far and Rob has been just okay. Obviously Reed has a certain amount of extra cheering section because of who he is, legacy player we all loved for not only his skills but his deep ties to Kentucky basketball.Dillingham had 15 points (6/21 2/7 from 3), 6 assist, and 5 rebounds. Odd nobody mentioned Dillingham, only Shepherd. HMMMM.
"HMMMM" and "odd", just not sure what that was supposed to mean. Reed has been better than Rob so far in SL and yes because of who he is I'd say there are people really rooting for him to succeed. I also think he has more people to prove wrong than Rob does. Reed had plenty of doubters out there (not UK fans). A lot of people out there thinking he wasn't worth a lottery selection. I think it was pretty universally recognized that Rob Dillingham is going to be a good NBA player.I simply implied Reed was way more popular than Rob, gets more attention. And that I like BOTH players equally. They both played their ass off here and I just feel like Rob deserves a little bit more love than he receives. That is all my post was intended to point out. Not ONE poster posted Rob's stats, that was my what I was highlighting. What implications did you draw from it to not like ?
Let it go man. Tryna start up some sht?I simply implied Reed was way more popular than Rob, gets more attention. And that I like BOTH players equally.

I watched the entire game and didn’t mention Rob because I thought he played poorly and I do not like to be negative. I posted stats for people to review. I really didn’t see him do much, quite frankly. I’ve watched him in other games and he played similarly there, except for one quarter when he was pretty awesome. Like others have said, I think he will settle in and have a nice career. He has bucket-getting skills that suit the NBA game. His defense, like Reed’s, needs to improve. Everyone already knows this.Judging by posts, Rob must not have played.
Not going to reply to other poster (he is baiting and wanting to argue big time), you seem to want to discuss the topic reasonably. But I disagree, Rob slide, and Reed stayed or even moved up in mocks. Reed was even talked about maybe going #1, so no a lot of people did not think Rob was going to be the better NBA player. Hell some even had him out side the top 12-15. Reed IS the better prospect (SL has shown that), but at UK, they both played their ass off and gave it everything they had. I was just simply stating Rob deserves more love and that Reed gets ALL of the attention and accolades while AT UK."HMMMM" and "odd", just not sure what that was supposed to mean.

Rob needs strength and it will take some time for both to get used to the pro game but I agree. Rob will be a great pro and Reed is looking like a future all star at this rate.I watched the entire game and didn’t mention Rob because I thought he played poorly and I do not like to be negative.

I know where they were both drafted, and I thought it was the right choice. If you looked at comment sections and message boards leading up to the draft, regardless of how much Reed moved himself up during the combine there were a ton of non-believers in his ability. You know how many times I read "bust" and "whoever drafts him is getting another Jimmer"? A ton. That's what I'm referring to. Conversely, the general consensus was that Rob is going to cook in the NBA. I think they're both going to be very good, but you are kidding yourself if you think there weren't a lot of people out there that didn't or don't believe in Reed Sheppard.Not going to reply to other poster (he is baiting and wanting to argue big time), you seem to want to discuss the topic reasonably.

zerubbable, move along, not going to engage in middle school stupidity.
STL Cat, we are good, you are debating it with real opinions and not just a fly by bait post.
Same for me. And I was looking forward to watching then BOTHThey both played poorly in the first half. I turned it off and went to bed. There will be growing pains. Reed needs to be more aggressive imo.
Reeds a fellow 606er,, Robs not.. Its that simple..I simply implied Reed was way more popular than Rob, gets more attention. And that I like BOTH players equally.

Maybe so, but BOTH played for UK.Reeds a fellow 606er,, Robs not.. Its that simple..
I agree with you, most definitely. I think he will continuously learn and adapt to the speed and quality of overall play in the NBA, especially at the "Varsity" level. He'll simply have to, if he plans on having a nice career in the League. He has always appeared to be a student of the game, especially with both parents there to help educate him, so that will certainly increase the odds of him eliminating silly turnovers and taking better care of the ball. We'll see ...All this being said Reed has to protect the ball better. 9 turnovers last night was no bueno. 5 of them had to have been in the 1st quarter because that's when I stopped watching. He was straight up getting his pocket picked.

Where were you? You could have been a Rob thread starter but you waited until you could complain?Dillingham had 15 points (6/21 2/7 from 3), 6 assist, and 5 rebounds. Odd nobody mentioned Dillingham, only Shepherd. HMMMM.
Pretty simple answer, maybe even YOU can understand it. The thread title was "Reed v/s Dilly Right Now", and I was not on here when it was posted. Today when I got on RR, the thread was ALREADY up. Seeing how it was a Reed AND Rob thread, I did not see the need to start up a whole new thread JUST about Rob when both was being discussed. I was simply wondering why no one was posting Rob's stats. This has really been blown out of proportion (shocker), so time for me to exit and not stay involved with the BS.Where were you? You could have been a Rob thread starter but you waited until you could complain?
People that just wake up and think about racism. What a miserable life.Maybe so, but BOTH played for UK.
Yeah Ive voiced my concen about for a while now that Reed's achilies heel is tight physicall on the ball pressure. He will carve you up when he's allow space but when the defense extends into his belly he stuggled some last year and didnt always attack it and picked the ball up a lot or panic passed some. It seemed at times last year he was better at breaking people down off the dribble than even he realized and Id find myself yelling at the TV for him to stop retreatig and cross the guy over and go!Hopefully Reed gets it going in the 2nd half. You can tell he's frustrated by how physical Minnesota is on defense. They hack,grab, and push alot.
100% this. I have nothing against Rob and loved his game when he played for us but like most of these 1 and done guys that didn't get anywhere in the tournament, I have no interest in them after they leave.This is easy: Reed is Kentucky kid.
I cracked the case.
Take your BS elsewhere.
Cal did not help Reed a bit by having him standing around watching the ball movement. With last year's team (and all the other teams under Cal) not having much ball movement, Reed didn't get much experience facilitating or looking for help from others. This leads to a kid dribbling alone on an island. The game is a lot faster in the pro's.All this being said Reed has to protect the ball better. 9 turnovers last night was no bueno. 5 of them had to have been in the 1st quarter because that's when I stopped watching. He was straight up getting his pocket picked.
I agree. You really need to work on that. Racism was never injected into the post by me, I simply and innocently stated Dillingham didn't get near the love Shepherd did in a thread titled with BOTH players mentioned. I understand Reed is a KY kid, I was simply saying Rob deserves accolades as well. YOU and several other are the ones who turned it into a race thing. Not ONE time did I say it was because Dillingham was black. Not ONE time. Hell I am white, but I support ALL former players, not just KY kids.People that just wake up and think about racism. What a miserable life.
