How do you feel like Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard performed at point guard? Rafael Stone: Great. I think they did really, really well. Especially Amen, with respect to the "at point guard," when he was on the court, we were really an elite team all year. With Reed, I’m just incredibly happy with his progress. I think he’s just done exceptionally well. A lot of it though is he has room for more growth than Amen does. They both have a lot of room for growth. But I think Reed took really important steps and is becoming the dynamic player we thought we could see. We need more consistency. He’s got to really shore up his weaknesses but I think both had great years and I’m very happy for both of them, that they got the reps that they had.
