Reed Sheppard
Let's hope Reed Sheppard heads to the NBA after this season. Many think he will. He will be a problem in this league next year if he is still around.

Respectively disagree. He is exactly the type of kid that (unfortunately for the SEC) will hang around for four years. Thanks to NIL, he will never hurt for $$$ (nor will his family for that matter of fact). Why would he want to go to the grind of the NBA where he will be used and abused every other night by every thug in the league, which is most of them. He will pursue a meaningful degree at UK, have girls falling all over him, and he knows he will be surrounded by 5-star talent at every position. He's living it up right now and having the time of his life; I think he would be crazy to go to the NBA or any other professional league and I'll bet his mom and dad would tell him the same thing.

Because a mil in NIL is chump change to what he will make in NIL. The league minimum in the NBA is 1.1 million. Being in the lottery he will make roughly 4 to 5 times that PER YEAR. And that is just on court. Add in endorsements and he will be clearing 6-7 mil a year. He would be incredibly stupid to not go to the highest level of basketball in the world.

Well, if he goes to the NBA, he'll earn every dollar he is paid. One thing about the NBA, he'll probably be able to fill it up from outside since nobody in that league plays defense. Still, I'm going on the record and say he doesn't come out this year. I see him being at UK for at least one, maybe two more years. I DO hope I'm wrong, though!!

Because you get the money when you can. You never know what will happen next year and you can always go back to college.

If he is a lottery pick, I don't think he can get that kinda money from the NIL, even if so, his stock want or can't get better with being a very top pick. He ca always go get his degree if need be but you can't always predict being in the NBA. Just saying.

Is there any chance he's actually the love child of Dereck Abney?

I'm thinking he's probably the love child of ex-Kentucky basketball player Jeff Sheppard. I remember in the SEC tourney when Jeff Sheppard elevated for a flying dunk from the side (Jeff could leap out of the gym) and Erick Dampier blocked the dunk. That was such a great moment. Of course we were both on our way to the NCAA Final Four. Kentucky won it all.

Yes, he's Jeff Sheppard's son. I was just joking because the last white guy from Kentucky that we couldn't stop was Dereck Abney.

He is a no doubt lottery pick. Will probably be the second or third college player off the board.

Could he end up in Memphis? Hope so. We need more deep outside shooting. Not sure what the Grizz's draft position is though.

Does it matter? They will just reload with another crop of 5 stars and we will continue to lose to them.

You are the wettest of wet blankets for a while now. If we would have had one more guard who was a good shooter( like we were supposed to have) we could have taken them last night. They just got really hot because they are a pretty dang good team. But we showed we are too

He looks and plays just like his dad

That game had the look and feel of an ncaa tournament game! The atmosphere was amazing!

I honestly wish he'd stay and we get to see Hubbard vs Sheppard a few more times. I think they're cloning Sheppards in Lexington.
