ছায়ায় জ্বলন

আমি NBA-এর ড্রাফটগুলি 12বছরবয়সেই (মা ‘দৃষ্টি-অবধারণ’-এর)। 2015-এ, Steph Curry-কে ‘ফড়কন’ - ‘এইজন্যই’। Jarrett Allen - ‘ভালোজন’ - ‘হয়তো’, ‘আসল’।

এখন?

‘শেপার্ড’ – ‘সবচেয়ে’,

উৎসব?

আমি—উৎসব?

শহরগুলির খণড (streetball) —

• Shooting: Tough pull-ups, timing, spacing → Defenders panic.

• Passing IQ: Not just good—rare. Denver match: 48 seconds left, down three. No shot. He found the open man with a halfcourt backdoor bullet pass—no luck. Vision from city courts.

• Defense: Too short? Not by movement. Footwork: late cuts, angle reads, staying between opponent and basket. No overcommitment.

  • Defensive rating in limited minutes > several starters (NBA.com stats).
  • Clean habits: no fouls on drives; no blown assignments; always recovers.
  • Discipline = culture — neighborhood courts teach you to pay for mistakes.

Why everyone else is wrong? The front office wants to trade him for ‘assets’. They call him ‘incomplete’. But what if:

“Incomplete” = not ready yet? Patience = weakness? Impact per possession > raw usage?

শেপার্ড delivers higher value per minute than almost any rookie this year—with way fewer opportunities to prove it. The truth: Pattern recognition grounded in data and lived experience. The old man said: “Son, talent shows up fast—but greatness waits for consistency.” Maybe we’re not seeing greatness yet… because we haven’t given him space to grow.
