Houston Rockets Eye Reed Sheppard for No. 3 NBA Draft Pick

The Rockets see Sheppard as a key addition to bolster their shooting and playmaking capabilities.

Rockets' front office and ownership are intrigued by Sheppard's fit with their young talent.
Sheppard's impressive shooting stats from his freshman season at Kentucky highlight his potential impact.
Houston is also exploring trade options for the third overall pick to enhance their roster immediately.
The Rockets aim to improve their offensive performance after a balanced but underwhelming season.
Sheppard could provide long-term value, especially with veteran guard Fred VanVleet's contract nearing its end.
