While Reed Sheppard might not fall down very far in the NBA Draft Lottery, there is an off chance he'd be available by time the San Antonio Spurs' No. 4 pick comes around.
As it stands, they have plenty of young talent and a bright future centered around Victor Wembanyama, but there is still room for the roster to grow, which is where the NBA Draft comes in.
Last season, the Kentucky guard averaged 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists on 52 percent shooting from behind the arc to make him not only well-rounded, but efficient. If he were to land in San Antonio, he'd be able to distribute the ball in the half court and knock down shots when needed, which makes him enticing to someone like Wembanyama.
Overall, Sheppard makes for a solid prospect to take with No.4, though the question remains whether or not the Spurs will even get that opportunity, as he's widely imagined to be selected with pick No. 3.If Sheppard were to fall to No. 4 and be taken by San Antonio, he'd have to be taught how to create more for himself. He has the arsenal to set up his teammates, but when it comes to be his turn with the ball, the guard isn't strong at creating space for open looks.
