Without great creativity and not a super handle. I see his ceiling as McConnell from Indiana. A solid guard but not elite level that a top 5 pick warrants. He is more of a SG who will have to learn to play PG. In the games I saw he played off the ball.
He’s creative, athletic and a great shooter. His size/strength/driving ability are the weaknesses.
To me creativity is being able to drive. Nothing wrong being a McConnel type. Of course he will have to get stronger to be like that. He is so small. I could see if he had Allen Iverson skills but I just don't see that from him. Maybe he will surprise but I think top 5 is a stretch for him or maybe this draft is just as weak as people are saying.
He had a respectable 37 inch vertical.
He has a creative shot package and PnR game. I think you’re bending yourself a bit too much to find ways to downplay him. I think Steph is and will be a better overall player, but Sheppard was impressive in the season and his testing looks pretty good.
Yeah anyone comparing to Steph is funny.
Have they updated his height/weight numbers yet?
I had the same reaction lol.
All these guys can shoot the hell out of it in drills. Let's wait and see if he comes back or not. I would love to see him get drafted first round and he's gotta go if that's going to happen. I just don't want to see him get drafted second round and get stuck in the G league.
That is how I see him as a Backup guard due to his size and lack of ability to create for others. I'm not wrong yet. We will find out in 3-5 years. He could become a huge bust or a decent starting guard but saying he is a sure thing player is silly. He definitely won't be the next Steph Curry like someone compared him to on here when talking about smallish guards. That is just silly talk. He isn't a UConn guy so I don't care if he fails or not.
He was really trying to bust his butt. It looked like he was dragging it to the finish line. Funny running. LOL!
