Reed Sheppard, Kentucky
He was arguably the most pleasant surprise in all of college basketball this year, and certainly in the national freshman class. This weekend, Sheppard surprised us yet again when he recorded the highest vertical leap in the entire NBA Combine. Given the shooting splits and defensive metrics he showed for Kentucky this year, and the undeniable intangibles, this most recent data point is just the latest in a suddenly long line of evidence that Sheppard is continuing to trend up boards.
Fox Sports said Sheppard was one of the Combine’s biggest winners:
Reed Sheppard, Kentucky: With a 42-inch vertical, which was tied for the top mark in that category at the combine, the one-and-done Wildcats freshman showed why he’s in the top-five conversation. His athleticism and shotmaking ability, along with his feel for the game, is beyond his years. He can catch fire at any given moment and is an elite competitor.
