For a third consecutive year, the Rockets are represented on the NBA’s All-Summer League First Team. In the NBA 2K25 edition for July 2024 games, it’s rookie guard Reed Sheppard. who follows in the footsteps of Cam Whitmore (2023 MVP) and Tari Eason (2022).

Sheppard, the No. 3 overall draft pick from the 2024 first round, averaged a team-high 20.0 points (50.0% shooting), 5.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.8 steals in four games from Las Vegas. For Houston fans, those summer-league performances further justified the hype for the Kentucky guard that grew throughout the pre-draft process.

While there, Sheppard took part in the NBA’s annual photo shoot for rookies on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. Portraits were taken by Monica Schipper of Getty Images.

Courtesy of USA TODAY’s photo partnerships, here’s a selection of Sheppard’s official portraits from that July 2024 event. Numerous other first-round rookies on other teams took part, as well, with those photos available by searching various photography wire services.
