Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Houston Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
This week’s question asked you to grade the Summer League performance for Reed Sheppard. The young guard is expected to take a leap in responsibility this year, and most people were hoping to see a dominant performance from Reed in NBA Summer League to feel better about
Houston’s sudden lack of guard depth after losing both Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks in the Kevin Durant deal.
It seems fair to say that Sheppard was a mixed bag, as he averaged 23 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 4.5 turnovers per game. He shot just 36.4 percent from the field and 31.8 from deep.
So what grade did he get?

The B’s have the highest vote with 39 percent, and a full 73 percent of you graded Sheppard a B or C. So let’s say his final grade is somewhere around a B- or a C+. Certainly not terrible, but anyone hoping Summer League would give some answers on if Reed was ready is going to have to wait a little longer.
