How would University of Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard fit next to San Antonio Spurs star forward Victor Wembanyama? The 20-year-old former Wildcat has been mocked in range of the Spurs pair of lottery picks in the 2024 NBA draft (at Nos. 4 and 8 overall), and has trended more towards 4 than 8.
While his shorter stature at just 6-foot-2 might make him a bit of a defensive liability on most teams, with Wemby playing with him, he could thrive knowing he has a safety new behind him. One thing Sheppard can do is hit the 3-ball, and maybe better than anyone else in this draft.
Is that enough to say he’d be a good fit with Wembanyama?
The folks behind the “SSPN: A San Antonio Spurs Podcast” YouTube channel recently took a closer look on a recent episode of their show. Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.
