The Houston Rockets just selected former Kentucky Wildcat Reed Sheppard with the third overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Last season for the Wildcats, Sheppard averaged 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.
The Rockets have an elite young core with Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr, and Alperen Sengun, who need a player to get them the basketball. Sheppard will perfectly fit this role. Sheppard will have to adjust to the speed and size of the NBA, but his shooting stroke is pure, and he shouldn't have any issue adapting.
