Houston Rockets rookie Reed Sheppard was awfully impressive in his Summer League debut, dropping 23 points on the Los Angeles Lakers.
Sheppard wasn’t just exceptional from the 3-point line on Friday night. The former Kentucky star also had five assists, four rebounds, and three blocks.
After the Rockets blew out the Lakers in their Summer League opener, Sheppard’s longtime girlfriend, Brailey Dizney, applauded his performance.
Dizney shared a photo of Sheppard’s stat line along with the caption, “IS HE EVEN REAL.”
Oh he’s real, and luckily for the Rockets, he’s the real deal. In fact, Sheppard was so explosive in his debut that an argument can be made he’s ready for the regular season.

Sheppard and Dizney have been together for quite a while. They had a great photo shoot together after the Rockets drafted the talented guard with the No. 3 pick.
Of course, some of Dizney’s other Instagram posts have gone viral over the past few weeks.
Sheppard was a star at Kentucky, averaging 12.5 points, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game. The Rockets would love to see similar production this fall.
NBA fans will get to see Sheppard back in action this Sunday against the Washington Wizards.
