Reed Sheppard Kentucky Season Highlights | National Freshman of the Year | 12.5 PPG 4.5 APG 53.6 FG%
Спорт
In addition to this recognition, he was also named SEC Freshman of the Year and received Second-Team All-SEC honors.
Sheppard has been extraordinary all season for the Wildcats, helping lead the team to a 23-8 record in the regular season. He averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game.
Not only is he incredibly well-rounded, but Sheppard is also efficient with the basketball.
The UK guard made 54% of his field goal attempts and was mightily impressive (52%) from behind the three-point arc.
It’s just the third time in program history that a Kentucky player has won the award, with the previous two being John Wall (2010) and Anthony Davis (2012). Both of those players were No. 1 overall picks in the NBA draft and went on to appear in multiple NBA All-Star games.
Sheppard is the first player in program history to win the award while primarily coming off of the bench, starting in just five of his 32 games played this season.

The fact he is a freshman and is shooting 50/50/80 is crazy … the casual fan really don’t understand how fucking efficient that really is

He will translate well in the nba, majority of his 3s are a few feet from the college 3. Kirk hinrich 2.0, he will be a good player for a very long time in the nba. He’s not gonna be a superstar but I believe he will give you 15-18 consistent ppg , 4-5 assists with good defense.

@@jstar1451We already have too many forwards and guys on this team that can’t shoot. Due to so many of these guys being around the same tier with each other. It won’t be a bad thing to draft for need at least in this draft. Reed and Kinchet are really the only two players that fit perfectly on this team

@@jalenjohnson0339 yeah Houston need a excellent pg shooter. Houston is lacking fire power with improving defense. Rockets can run him as the point when vanfleet is getting rest off the bench or with vanfleet with green sitting.
Great shooter, good passer, tenacious defender, extremely unselfish, and has a really high bball IQ. Reminds me so much of Derrick White, who has quietly become one of the best Guards and glue-guys in the NBA. Only he's a much better shooter than Derrick was at that age. Exciting player. He's going to look great in a Spurs jersey. 💯

Some people are underestimating the level of NIL money that Reed can make at UK. It will be in the millions of $. One memorabilia/collection house in Tennessee has already reportedly offered 1 million $ for Reed to work with them. And that's just one business. The money can be lucrative if Reed stays AND he'll get a chance at NCAA redemption. That said, I hope he goes to the NBA so as to guarantee another Calipari failure, which is a necessary precursor to getting rid of Cal.
