Reed Sheppard Kentucky Season Highlights | National Freshman of the Year | 12.5 PPG 4.5 APG 53.6 FG%

In addition to this recognition, he was also named SEC Freshman of the Year and received Second-Team All-SEC honors.

Sheppard has been extraordinary all season for the Wildcats, helping lead the team to a 23-8 record in the regular season. He averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game.

Not only is he incredibly well-rounded, but Sheppard is also efficient with the basketball.

The UK guard made 54% of his field goal attempts and was mightily impressive (52%) from behind the three-point arc.

It’s just the third time in program history that a Kentucky player has won the award, with the previous two being John Wall (2010) and Anthony Davis (2012). Both of those players were No. 1 overall picks in the NBA draft and went on to appear in multiple NBA All-Star games.

Sheppard is the first player in program history to win the award while primarily coming off of the bench, starting in just five of his 32 games played this season.

The fact he is a freshman and is shooting 50/50/80 is crazy … the casual fan really don’t understand how fucking efficient that really is

[TheEntertainmentInc]

The way he shoots his middeys, you just know he’s gonna be cold 😮‍💨🥶

Great shooter, good passer, tenacious defender, extremely unselfish, and has a really high bball IQ. Reminds me so much of Derrick White, who has quietly become one of the best Guards and glue-guys in the NBA. Only he's a much better shooter than Derrick was at that age. Exciting player. He's going to look great in a Spurs jersey. 💯

No fuss No Frill Solid Basketball Player.

Thanks for not just showing him making 3 pointers. You dont get that with a lot of other channels

[jayemma]

If you're going to be drafted where you're projected to be in, the Spurs would fit with you nicely.

[JosephNici]

He just posted a 42 inch vert. Incredible

[Brace.Face.Emilio]

Who’s here after he just got drafted to H-Town

[davidtasev]

I would like to see this guy in Bulls jersey next yearr.. I think he can play huge role in his first season there.. Bulls needs some good shooter too.. So it's kinda win-win situation.. Good for him, good for us👌😁 this guy, or Jared McCain👌

[Bob-fjlr]

His jumpshot is technically perfect. It's actually insane. Simultaneously his ball handle is insane too. This actually might be the next Curry lol

[hmongty]

One more year! One more year! One more year!

[Sugar-tjpx]

i agree 100%with, we just need big man, traditional center.

Reed Shappard along with the other freshmen should stay at Kentucky until their junior or senior year it will only make them much better and will help the incoming class too.

He's too small, but I wouldn't mind the Raptors drafting him. His IQ/ shooting/defense is amazing
