I mean, I've heard that the Rockets internally sort of view him as a two as well.
Now he can handle the ball.
So it's not as if there's no point guard skills there.
But at the same time, he's not a drop in Fred Van Vliet replacement either.
Like it's like a hybrid.
Yeah.
And so, Dave, I'm curious your thoughts.
Well, let me start with this.
Did you watch the Amazon Prime or the Space City broadcast today?
Amazon Prime.
Okay, I thought so, based on our talks during the game.
So one thing that Craig Ackerman pointed out during the game, and I thought the same, Reid was hesitant for most of the second half.
And I thought, you know, late in the game, he started firing away again, and he mostly missed them.
But for especially the first 18 minutes or so, there were some looks he could have put up and probably should have on a couple of instances, but it felt like he was deferring, given that it was a close game in the second half, to the two big-name All-Stars, Kevin Durant
and all for in Shingun.
And there's a couple of ways to look at it.
You can look at it the way Paolo did and say, well, you know, you've got these two, in theory, high-level creators.
Now, I know Shingun wasn't today, but in theory, you know, he's an all-star for a reason.
And your bench, especially if DFS is struggling like he is right now, could use the stimulus.
I mean, the Rockets lost these games.
