A McDonald’s All-American in the class of 2023, Sheppard came to Kentucky with significant show as the child of previous Wildcats Jeff and Stacey Sheppard. In any case, even the most hopeful fans couldn’t imagine the sort of season we’d observer from the North Shrub item.
In 33 games (five beginnings), Sheppard arrived at the midpoint of 12.5 focuses on 53.6% shooting and a crazy 52.1% shooting from 3-point land. He likewise arrived at the midpoint of group highs in helps (4.5) and takes (2.5).
Sheppard battled on safeguard, yet so too did the majority of this season’s list, so it’s difficult to tell exactly how great of a protector he’s equipped for becoming. He’s presently projected as a lottery pick in each major NBA Mock Draft, so it’s not difficult to see the reason why his profession has reached a conclusion.
It’s sad we didn’t get to see Sheppard lead Kentucky on a profound postseason run. Then again, his development saved the 2023-24 Kentucky B-ball group from being a debacle. It’s honestly unnerving to think what sort of season that would have been on the off chance that Sheppard hadn’t been here.
Try not to be miserable he’s gone. Be happy we got to partake in the time he was here.
Gratitude for the recollections!
