Reed Sheppard did it all for the Houston Rockets in their Las Vegas Summer League opener on Friday night.
In fact, the second-year guard did essentially everything on the floor more than any other Rockets player.
Sheppard led Houston in six major statistical categories in the matchup with the Clippers:
- 28 points
- 8 rebounds
- 4 assists
- 4 steals
- 3 blocks
- 6 3-pointers
That's exactly what a team wants to see from a promising returning player at Summer League. It's supposed to look dominant, and it was.

Sheppard was the No. 3 overall pick last year, but in a crowded Houston rotation, he only got 12 minutes a night.
This season is hoped to be different for Sheppard, who for his part certainly looks ready to step into a larger role.
If he keeps playing like he did Friday night in Vegas, including in the defensive impact stats, he'll have no problem earning a greater workload when the season rolls around.
