The NBA Draft is fast approaching, and the big question on everyone’s minds is where Reed Sheppard will be selected. New mock drafts are being released every day, with most predicting that Sheppard will be picked within the top five. However, a recent mock draft by Krysten Peek has Sheppard going sixth overall to the Charlotte Hornets. While many would be surprised to see him fall past the fifth pick, landing with the Hornets wouldn’t be too much of a drop.
Peek’s reasoning for Sheppard potentially slipping to the sixth pick is that his role in the NBA may be more as a combo guard, showcasing his ability to space the floor with his impressive 3-point shooting. Despite concerns about his size and defense at the next level, Sheppard’s shooting accuracy and passing skills make him a desirable prospect for NBA teams. With no clear-cut standout players in this draft, Sheppard’s potential has garnered attention from teams looking to add his scoring prowess to their roster.
The excitement surrounding Sheppard’s draft potential is undeniable, and it remains to be seen where exactly he will end up when the NBA Draft takes place on June 26th. Whether he goes third overall to the Houston Rockets or sixth overall to the Charlotte Hornets, one thing is certain – Reed Sheppard will make a significant impact in whatever city he lands in.
