The Houston Rockets are expecting big things from their third overall pick going into his second season. Reed Sheppard will be counted on to take on a much bigger role this season as he will be the first guard off the bench and the Rockets’ backup point guard. Sheppard will be counted on to leap the court this upcoming season, but off the court, Sheppard has already shown he can be counted on to help out people who are in need. Since entering the NBA last season, Sheppard has been there for his hometown of London, Kentucky, and his new basketball home, Houston, Texas.
