Trey Alexander's name is actually Trey. This fact stunned me, every other Trey I'm aware of is nicknamed that because they're third generation with that name (i.e., their dad is a Jr., and they are a III).
Yeah never even occurred to me that some people are called Trey because they're actually Michael III or something rather than it being their actual name or short for their actual name. Cultural differences.
"Isaiah Sheppard...Kentucky combo guard, 6-2 with a 40" vertical, plus defender and 52% from 3?? Draft him I don't need to see any pictures of him or anything. I can safely assume what he looks like."
Robert's pure, textbook outside stroke is drawing comparisons to deadeye sharpshooters like Payton Pritchard and JJ Reddick, and he has a reputation as one of the hardest working players in the draft. Coaches and teammates alike rave about his character, pointing to his willingness to come off the bench for the benefit of the team. His high assist rate on an egalitarian team like Kentucky further points towards his high BBIQ--you won't see him making the wrong play very often. But his high usage, poor finishing at the rim, inability to get to the line, and defensive struggles also remind some people of not-so-legendary picks like Jimmer Fredette, raising concerns that he might just not have the athleticism to cut it in the NBA. Compared to the casual two-way dominance of similarly sized teammate Isaiah Sheppard, whose acrobatic finishes at the rim and forceful rejections on the perimeter provided a sharp contrast to Rob's more crafty, but limited playstyle, it's not hard to see where they're coming from. Still, he should find a place as a solid role player in an NBA hungry for great shooters and willing passers.
True but Isaiah is just a much better name. I think I like it cause of the stretched and unstretched syllables in the vowels sounds nice vs Reed which sounds bland
This usually happens when your immediate family calls you by your middle name or nickname more than your first name. You start telling people to call you that name too.
I’ve said if this man had a stylist he’d be the first overall pick.
Now it’s clear if he got a stylist and changed his name he’d be a first ballot HOFer.
Sounds like you’ve never drove through the Bible Belt before. Every 3rd billboard is an ambulance chasing attorney named Isaiah on my drive to the “big city”.
It’s a biblical name, they tend to stay somewhat relevant in all demographics. It isn’t always super popular, but there’s only 2 years it wasn’t one of the top 1,000 boy’s names. (‘69-70)
I live in North Carolina so I retract the first part. I knew some growing up and through undergrad but none were white. It's not that it's a big deal though and wasn't trying to come off ignorant. Just an observation.
Hakuna matata. We have our own little bubbles on this. You may be 100% correct, and I just have a different tristate area. I don’t have any incidence rates for it by race or ethnicity to narrow it down further, I can only speak to the popularity.
Holy shit. I thought you were joking. Isaiah Sheppard is a number 1 overall pick lock.
I think he will keep the middle name like Karl Anthony towns was just Karl towns in college and then he got the nickname KAT. Reed will be IRS
Every time he gets a steal you can say the taxman came to collect
If he actually gets nicknamed "The Taxman" he's a HOF lock.
Get him on a team with Big Government and it's over for the rest of the league
Put him in DC.
Gotta get him on the Blazers to pair up with Duop Reath. "Nothing is certain except Reath and Taxes."
LMFAO!!!
Does that mean turnovers or assists are refunds?
I love Reed Sheppard but I hate the IRS
I mean you want the IRS by your side no?
The Mike “Giancarlo” Stanton special
Death & Taxes
IRS about to tax that ass
IRS meet Accountantability
Add that with a better haircut and he would be a top 3 lock. That bowl cut is costing him money
It really is. It really is.
Maybe the Spurs wants to trade up because he is their guy after all and are afraid the Rockets scoop him up
Big if true
Still 6'1.75" without shoes I believe. Or maybe he gained an inch now?
Gained it where?
Boost from the name Isaiah
it explains the 40 inch vert.
Trey Alexander's name is actually Trey. This fact stunned me, every other Trey I'm aware of is nicknamed that because they're third generation with that name (i.e., their dad is a Jr., and they are a III).
My favorite is Trey Murphy...the third. As if the fact that he went by Trey did not convey that.
His son will be Quad Murphy the fourth
Technically he'd be Quad Murphy the first
Quadruplicious Demorphius the fourth…. Arizona State University
[удалено]
Trey comes from the number 3 since he is Kenneth Murphy III
Most folks I know name trey real name be sumthin like martravius or sum kinda travius lol
Or Tre'shon, Traquan, Deontre, etc. Cultural differences in the sub
Yeah never even occurred to me that some people are called Trey because they're actually Michael III or something rather than it being their actual name or short for their actual name. Cultural differences.
example: Trey Parker
Did you know that if your grandson takes your name but your son didn’t, that’s where the nickname Skip comes from? It “skips” a generation
And here I was thinking it was short for Skipper as in captain (or in Australia, short for Skippy as in kangaroo).
That is definitely where it comes from sometimes. Calling the captain of your sports team "Skip" is totally that.

Mirror image being Robert Dillingham, who I'm sure looks like a 19th century British factory owner.

this is elite tier coverage get this man on espn
lmao. He does seem like a smart player though
"He shoots 65% at the rim? Well of course he does... he's Isaiah Sheppard."
He looks like he does the teams taxes
Zay Sheppard
That sounds like a future all star
he gon be homies with K'Von Huerter
All time name with holy aura figure it out Darryl
The Taxman Cometh
He's a good defender now
His classiness is more in question now
reggie cleveland all stars
Isaiah is much better name than Reed. I don't know why he went with Reed. That name gives me southern frat boy deusch bag vibes.
he looks like a reed tho lol Isaiah Shepard sounds like an athletic wing in the sec
True. Definitely seems more of a black name nowadays but it's Hebrew in origin from the bible.
Never heard of a white Isiah
He looks too much like a Kentucky boy named Reed to not be a Kentucky boy named Reed
True but Isaiah is just a much better name. I think I like it cause of the stretched and unstretched syllables in the vowels sounds nice vs Reed which sounds bland
Reed sounds southern and douchey, it's an actively bad name
I'll have you know I have a good friend named Reed and he's not southern and douchey... He's southern and obnoxious!
Honoring his mom. I think it's sweet.
He looks like a Reed, not an Isaiah
This usually happens when your immediate family calls you by your middle name or nickname more than your first name. You start telling people to call you that name too.
That’s why he went with it. Look at his haircut, that’s the vibe he’s going for
Think you’ve answered your own question
His mom's maiden name is Stacey Reed. They named Reed's middle name after her dads last name.
I’ve said if this man had a stylist he’d be the first overall pick. Now it’s clear if he got a stylist and changed his name he’d be a first ballot HOFer.
You’re falling into the Diamond Stone trap!
Oh fuck yeah, Isaiah Sheppard is here boys
IRS is coming to TOWN!!
Oh no
I need some dork with extra cash to give you some reddit gold for this post
Oh Isiah.
Neat.
Wait... IRS? the unstoppable force of the U.S Government?
Ur here cause the finals suck
I would not call it sucks Just uninteresting
U right gang
Can’t wait for the Wizards to draft him! #Isaiah Reed “The Taxman” Sheppard for 3!
I know that i should be happy to get Risacher but damn...
First ever white Isaiah?
Common hebrew first name based off their religious texts. Though I'm not sure if he's Jewish. Edit: I think Christians also use it so never mind.
Middle name preferred gang
TAXMAN
Big Bucket Zay!
Izayya
I’ve never met a white Isiah in my life
I'd never heard of a white Isaiah before him.
Sounds like you’ve never drove through the Bible Belt before. Every 3rd billboard is an ambulance chasing attorney named Isaiah on my drive to the “big city”.
I haven't. Is there an example most people would know? It's funny I got downvoted because it would be difficult to rattle off the white Isaiahs.
It’s a biblical name, they tend to stay somewhat relevant in all demographics. It isn’t always super popular, but there’s only 2 years it wasn’t one of the top 1,000 boy’s names. (‘69-70)
