As we get closer to the season what do we think about Reed Sheppard and how he'll end up
As we get closer to the season what do we think about Reed Sheppard and how he'll end up

As far as I'm aware the consensus is he'll likely be a backup to Green or possibly VanVleet, but I hear some people saying he should start and while I don't necessarily agree it's had me thinking. If he were to, my opinion is that it would be over VanVleet so as not to sideline our star and to avoid playing even smaller. VanVleet is the best shooter getting significant minutes on the roster, but I don't think Sheppard would have an issue providing there. The problem lies in VanVleet being undoubtedly our primary playmaker while Sheppard, not to say he looks bad or even below average, I'm guessing is very unlikely to near eight assists a game. Alpy has been consistently getting better every year so maybe we could rely on him to develop into just like a stage before that Sabonis playmaking beat putting up 6-7, but would it be enough and would Reed be good enough to supplement it. Or am I overthinking it and it's not even a question that he will or won't?

NBA fan visiting Houston for the 1st time
NBA fan visiting Houston for the 1st time

Hi, I am from San Jose, Costa Rica and I am on a mission, to visit every NBA arena (9 of 30 so far), so this year I will do a "Texas road trip", HOU, SA and DAL. And I will be in Houston on March 1st, for the Rockets vs Kings game, so I would like to know what else can I do on that day, I would be arriving that same day at about 11 am from Costa Rica , so I would like to know which places should I visit, where to stay, where to grab a beer post or pre-game, any cool rockets relate place to visit, or any other stuff an NBA fan would like, I would be leaving the next day to San Antonio. I'm a 30 M, traveling solo. Every tip is appreciate, thank you
