Team practicing in Canada

He plays like Herro yea, also like Quickley. Kinda a combo guard that can really shoot and move all over the court to get open. Not a super athlete but good enough. I hope he shoots as well as both. IQ was that dude.

IQ is another pretty good comparison.

It looks like they are having fun in that practice. I’m really hoping this team has good chemistry and gets along good. That’s going to be extremely important with such a young team, imo

I like his interaction in that piece and I really like how confident he is in his shooting. At the end of the video, he called it before he even got into his shooting position. He knew it was going in because he was so open.

I think he's going to have a monster year.

2025!

Cmon man. 2025? Are you serious?
He’ll help this season.
Put your personal bias away.
Statements like that make people question whether you know anything or are just a troll.

You don't have to question. Look at his posts since he got here. He's a troll.

I have high hopes for Reed. He looks a bit slow when I've seen film on him. But when I see him play with and against these high caliber players he fits right in and gets to where he wants on the floor. I think he may be deceptively quick. Kinda like Prince was.

He might be the next Tyler Herro? Projected 3-4 year guy that blows up in one season.

Herro is and always has been a wrecking ball of destruction as a scorer. He's also 6'5", so he can score on most NBA shooting guards without an issue.

Sheppard is 6'2"-6'3" and has mostly been a facilitator on the higher levels. He's a competent scorer, but his real wheelhouse is leading his team. Herro's elite offensive skill set is what allowed him to pass through the NBA's pearly gates after a single season. I'm not sure Sheppard has the same one year ceiling as a facilitator. I hope I'm wrong, obviously, and that all of our guys play much better than expected.

I think they will be closer to elite than we have had in the back court since Maxey and IQ.

Hope so

Our practice clips highlights always look the same.

Would love to see clips of us attacking a zone and/or when other team clogs the middle

Am I the only one who gets a bad feeling that Bradshaw didn’t make the trip?

 

[davekersey]

Happy to see Reeves coming out of his shell and becoming a leader. I think his value to the team is more than offense.

I believe they already said he wasn't going.

I believe they already said he wasn't going.

Right. What I was saying as seems odd to not go and be with your teammates..?

I agree on that, I'm not sure why they left him back.

 

[J-Ryan]

They look like they are having fun. That’s good. Last years team didn’t feel that way

 

[Smashcat]

Good points.

I'm guessing minimal defense. Thiero has already proven he can play(in short spurts). Whatever happens I wouldnt put too much stock in anything.

 

[bucsrule8872]

The main thing I am watching is the 5 spot. I am really curious to see how Onyenso plays with extended minutes and what Mitchell brings to the table.

But really I don’t expect to learn much from this trip, as a fan.

This is a bonding experience for the team. And a chance for Cal to see what he has a little earlier than usual.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

I think it's good Bradshaw isn't going.Seems better resting his foot and not taking a long trip walking on it more.

 

[Smashcat]

Good gawd. (smh)

Love listening to Goose talk. He is a natural for TV.

Shep is #33 in the final 2023 RSCI rankings and was a McDonalds All American. He's an elite player.

Like I said. Sheppard is an elite player. Make sense now?

 

[Magilla Gorillla]

No, you are going off the highest rankings you could find. Why do so many third-party objective observers rank him far below elite? Take off blue tinted glasses….or maybe you should just stop promoting Cal as the ultimate recruiter and evaluator of talent.

Still laughing at you

I had 1450 posts between 2017 and this year. Compose is 43. Wow - amazing. We should be focused DJ and Dilly. Reed Shephard isn’t helping this team before 2025.

Don’t go head to head with me. You will lose.
