It’s a historically weak draft, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to get your hands on talent — potentially from Kentucky, two former Wildcats ranked inside the top 10 in the latest projections. Reed Sheppard is listed as the No. 3 overall pick to the Houston Rockets and the No. 4 draft prospect in ESPN’s newest update while Rob Dillingham is expected to go No. 6 overall to the Charlotte Hornets and comes in at No. 7 on the big board. No matter where you look, it’s a pretty clear consensus that Sheppard and Dillingham will not be waiting long in Brooklyn when the 2024 NBA Draft tips off ...

If you’re reading this, you probably knew the legend of Jeff and Stacey Reed Sheppard and their respective careers as Kentucky basketball standouts long before their baby boy entered the national picture, now seen as a likely top-three selection in the 2024 NBA Draft. Thing is, Reed Sheppard had no idea his parents played basketball at all growing up — by choice. The Sheppards kept the awards, honors and accolades out of the house when Reed was a kid. Walking in, you’d have no idea they were Lexington celebrities. Instead, they just wanted to be seen as ‘Mom and Dad.’ “They were big for me, th...

It’s looking more and more like Reed Sheppard will be a top-three selection when the 2024 NBA Draft opens on June 26 — conveniently Stacey Sheppard’s birthday — in Brooklyn. What better birthday gift for mom than going No. 3 overall to the Houston Rockets? That’s ESPN’s projection in a new mock draft released by Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo, holding firm at three after rising to that spot in a previous update on May 12 following the lottery. He hasn’t been outside the top three since April 17 when he was previously projected to go No. 7 overall. Reed Sheppard goes No. 3 to HoustonNow, he’s s...

At one point, The Ringer had the pride of London, Kentucky, Reed Sheppard, as their No. 1 overall prospect for the 2024 NBA Draft. It was an eyebrow-raising projection, but now it’s no longer just national writers feeling like this. Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo of ESPN are reporting that multiple NBA teams have Sheppard as the No. 1 overall prospect on their big boards. Is one of those teams the Atlanta Hawks, the organization that actually possesses the first pick in the draft? Most mock drafts would suggest not, however, there has been a ton of speculation that the Hawks are willing to pac...

Kentucky freshmen guards Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham have essentially secured their positions as lottery picks in next month’s NBA Draft. But just how high could they go in the order? In a pool of players regarded as the weakest in years, could they hear their name called first by Commissioner Adam Silver? If you ask ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, he says Sheppard and Dillingham are both candidates to be taken with the No. 1 overall pick by the Atlanta Hawks when the draft begins on June 26. “This draft is wide open,” Givony said. “Reminds me a lot of 2013 where I don’t think we’re gonna know wh...

Reed Sheppard has been a busy guy since Kentucky’s 2023-24 season came to an end. It’s only going to get busier, too. This week, Sheppard is in Chicago for the 2024 NBA Draft Combine. While not participating in scrimmages, the projected Top 10 pick in next month’s draft still went through drills and measurements (did you hear about his 42-inch vertical??) early in the week. He also made time to sit down with the ESPN2 crew on Tuesday during the first of two scrimmages that afternoon. As he does, Sheppard spent plenty of time talking about those around him and how they’ve helped him reach this ...

On Sunday in Chicago, the order for the 2024 NBA Draft next month was unveiled on ESPN. In a major shock, the Atlanta Hawks — which came in with the fifth-worst odds to secure the top pick at just three percent — had the balls fall in their favor. Now holding the top overall pick, it marks the first time in franchise history that Atlanta has won the lottery. Will the Hawks end up drafting a former Wildcat? It’s certainly possible, although both of Kentucky’s projected lottery picks (Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham) play the same position as Atlanta’s two best players — Trae Young and Dejounte...

Reed Sheppard‘s draft stock appears to still be in good standing ahead of the upcoming NBA Combine. Today, Gary Parrish over at CBSSports.com released his updated mock draft for the 2024 class. In it, Sheppard is the projected No. 2 overall pick, heading to Washington, D.C., to be a Wizard. It’s the John Wall path. “Sheppard was among the biggest surprises this season as it pertains to prospects launching themselves into the lottery conversation,” writes Parrish. “Nobody had him projected as a one-and-done top-10 pick — but that’s what he’ll be after shooting 52.1% from 3-point range in his on...

Kentucky boasted the No. 1 recruiting class in the 2023 cycle, per the On3 Industry Ranking. Among the loaded group, names like Rob Dillingham, Justin Edwards and DJ Wagner dominated the headlines while Reed Sheppard slipped under the radar. Nonetheless, Sheppard finished the season as perhaps Kentucky’s most significant freshman contributor. The Kentucky native averaged more playing time than any other first-year Wildcat while leading the team in assists and steals. In an interview with CBS Sports, former Kentucky head coach John Calipari pulled back the curtain on Sheppard’s stunning season....

The 13th Region has produced some all-time Kentucky greats throughout the men’s basketball program’s illustrious history. Wallace “Wah Wah” Jones (Harlan) and Richie Farmer (Clay County), in particular, made names for themselves during their respective college careers playing basketball for the Wildcats. This past season, Reed Sheppard broke a 30-plus year drought of 13th Region boys suiting up in the blue and white, winning National Freshman of the Year along the way. But, especially over the last few decades, it’s not often that the 13th Region — made up of schools from eastern Kentucky — se...
