So it isn’t all that wild to have him #1 in this draft.Just eyeballing it and I'd likely have Reed 5th but I think NBA evaluators will ding him for the length concerns.

Reed does have like serious John Stockton vibes. I want to ask him what his stance is on vaccines and see if the comp is valid.
Its pretty wild.So it isn’t all that wild to have him #1 in this draft.
maybe not pretty wild. I'll say aggressive.Its pretty wild.
Yeah he gets steals. Reed gets blocks where he is putting up a 36 inch quick twitch vert to block jumpers.TJ McConnell gets a ton of steals as well. Which is why I mentioned him. Tyus wasn't so much of a comp as a level of player as his floor. And I did say plus version. Like I'd be shocked if he wasn't at least like the best backup pg in the league type of player. I could see him reaching a Desmond Bane level as a player but they are different player types.
I'd bet on him as he has so many markers of a guy that might be underrated and he's a Kentucky guard.
Yeah I just think comps are always going to have some differences like that. Players are snowflakes. That’s as close as I could get without getting wild… and TJ with a laser is a damn good nba player.Yeah he gets steals. Reed gets blocks where he is putting up a 36 inch quick twitch vert to block jumpers.
Mitchell was also an older junior who wasnt nearly the quality of shooter that Shep is.I could go as high as maybe #8 with Sheppard. I think more realistically he'll go in the later lottery. Remember that Davion Mitchell had some dominant games for Baylor. Not saying there's a direct comp or correlation of circumstances, but guys who are probably 3rd guards tend to go a bit later.
** Notices that Mitchell was picked #9. **
I just dont think it's close at all and is purely a complexion comparison.Yeah I just think comps are always going to have some differences like that. Players are snowflakes. That’s as close as I could get without getting wild… and TJ with a laser is a damn good nba player.
Eh... its more about the game manager style of pg and the steal and small stature. Caruso is a 6-5 guard with 6-6 wingspan? He's also a lock down guy in addition to being a deflections guy. Maybe IQ is a better comp for Shep if you need a cross race comp.I just dont think it's close at all and is purely a complexion comparison.
Caruso is right there, also white, and is much closer to Shep than TJ is.
I get more Jeff Hornacek vibes.If not, there's still Mark Price.

6'.45 in shoes with a +1 wingspan. I expect Shep to be like two inches shorter with the same wingspan ratioEh... its more about the game manager style of pg and the steal and small stature.

Which is what allows him to guard across multiple positions really well. That difference is significant on defense imo.6'.45 in shoes with a +1 wingspan. I expect Shep to be like two inches shorter with the same wingspan ratio
Agree… and Shep may have a similar impact maybe as white. He’s just bigger than Shep.I don’t think there is a perfect comp but I think Derrick White is similar in a couple ways.
