Spurs should’ve taken Edey.

It’s going to be interesting to watch McCain as his role grows. What’s interesting is that he’s succeeding not because he’s been a lights out shooter, but because of his ability to get to the rim and score. I may have been blinded by his shooting and unfairly put him into a box.

McCain is going to win ROY in a landslide.

He didn't look that special in Summer League. I was at a couple of his games.

Whoever had him as their homer pick must be a genius.

I had him as one of my guys.

Reminder that while fun in the moment, Summer League doesn't mean anything.

Did he even start for Duke? I liked him as a shooter, but I don't remember him showing a whole lot more than that.

He showed a lot more. More than Reed Sheppard but just didn't have the crazy outlier shooting season

Crazy how wrong I was on the Rockets this year. They are looking like a very good team. Too bad they bought the Reed Sheppard hype. After being in the top 3 for ROTY pre-season, he's looking like one of the worst rookies in the class.

Small sample size and stuff, but his insane stock % from college havent translated at all and he hasnt shot a FT in 155 minutes of game time.

I've watched a lot of HOU this year, they're a really good regular season team. Super deep and their best players haven't even been playing that well. With Shep, it does feel like there's a confidence issue. He's afraid to do anything on the court. IMO, it's different from Cody Williams. I don't think Cody can play, and that's why he's not confident. I think Shep can play, but he legitimately looks terrified to shoot or make a mistake. A lot of people love his middy game, but to some degree I think that's a result of him being terrified to do anything else. It's the least offensive "mistake" to miss a mid range jumper.

His production without Dillingham on the court open my eyes to the idea that he could excel in a bigger role once in the NBA, but he might be lacking the mental aspects to be more than that. He does not have FVV's fk you mentality which would be necessary for him to reach those levels. With time he'll be at least a good role player though.
