In this year's draft, the Houston Rockets selected outside sharpshooter Shepard with the No. 3 pick in their hand. Today, let's take a look at the comprehensive comparison between Shepard, who is also a guard, and Jalen Green, who is also a guard, and the current Jalen Green of the Rockets, to see whose world is the future of the Rockets!
One: Physical talent
Shepard: 1.88 meters tall, 87 kg in weight, 1.91 meters in reach, 2.38 meters tall in standing, 3.21 meters high in situ, 87 cm in situ bounce, 3.47 meters tall in run-up, 1.09 meters in run-up jump, belongs to the player who is not tall but has excellent physical fitness.
Jalen Green: 1.93 meters tall, 84 kg in weight, 2.01 meters in reach, 2.59 meters tall in standing, 3.49 meters tall in place, 90 cm in situ bounce, 3.65 meters tall in run-up, and 1.06 meters in run-up jump. Jalen Green's physical fitness is very good, and in terms of physical fitness, Green is better than Shepard.
Two: Position on the field
Shepard played primarily in the scoring position in college and sometimes played playmaking guard, but was mostly a scorer.
Jalen Green's main position on the court is also a scoring guard, and sometimes he can play a cameo role as a playmaker, but Green has certain problems with dribbling and his organizational ability is not good.
However, judging from the height of the two, Shepard is short in quarterback, however, it is reported that Shepard's height has now come to 1.91 meters, and now, Shepard is only 19 years old, and there is still the possibility of growing taller.
Three: Comparison of playing styles
Shepard is mainly a scorer in college, judging from the existing games, Shepard has excellent outside three-point ability, can play an average of 52% three-point shooting per game, and at the same time, Shepard is a step outside the three-point line, which is quite like Curry Jr. At the same time, Shepard is not only an outside three-point shooter, but also has certain organizational skills, which Jalen Green cannot compare, and at the same time, Shepard's ball quotient is very high, and in the case of outside three-point shooting, the style of play will increase breakthrough layups.
Four: the future can be improved
Jalen Green has been playing for three years, but the real improvement of his ball skills began last season, however, the Rockets have little time left for Green, if Green can't improve qualitatively in the new season, then the Rockets will definitely give up on him as soon as possible.
Shepard has been trained through college and has experienced a certain amount of tactical training, and at the same time, Shepard's ball quotient is very high, although he is a white guard, but the outside world is still full of infinite reverie about Shepard's future development space, if everything goes well, Shepard will be the rocket version of Curry!
