Now I know I'm old because I remember his dad playing on Kentucky and I'm like is this Jeff Sheppard's son? His dad was more athletic but just a piece in Pitinos system, this kid looks like he can control the game.

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Facts, totally different game! Love how his dad made him better than he was!

[@Hoop_Doctors]

You’re so right! His pops went to Uk too! He bleeds Kentucky blue. He’s so NBA good, I don’t think he’s staying past this year he’s lotto!

[@jeremywarren5748]

And his mother too

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Really, did she hoop? @@jeremywarren5748

[@jeremywarren5748]

She was a Women’s team legend for UK as well, no kidding

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Crazy! No wonder why his fundamental are so strong. @@jeremywarren5748

[@wtk6069]

If we're talking earnings, Reed is far more famous in Kentucky than anywhere else, so his NIL could be astronomical if he came back, but it will mostly dry up if he leaves. Outside a rookie contract, he won't have a lot of endorsement opportunities the first year or so until he builds a reputation in his new NBA city. So it's not a given he can make more money next year going pro.

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Rookie contract includes signing bonus. He will be lottery putting his earning to least 12-20 million. He’ll make maybe 3 mill. In nil.

[@josefadams647]

Could you imagine Reed at UK all four years? He would’ve been in the 90s. Being a Kentucky guy he could’ve been the biggest legend if it was mandatory players would have to stay in college for 3 years.

[@Hoop_Doctors]

It would be so fun and UK would definitely win a national championship! He's NBA ready, so might be a tough sell.

[@ImGonnasayit]

Why should kids stay in school for multiple years when they are pro ready?

[@jameshenson4089]

I don't think he comes back but if he does he will break NIL records at UK probably have his own racehorse and car lot Shepherd Chevrolet lol

[@Hoop_Doctors]

HAHAHA!

[@glendaharris3171]

Yes he is please stay one more yet

[@BigBlueReefAquatics]

Reed Will be here at least 2-3 years, possibly all 4. I'm not gonna get in to all the reasons, but I guarantee it.

[@Hoop_Doctors]

He's ready to be a NBA player now. He bleed UK blue so we shall see! How do you know he's staying?

[@rblfrmthewstdwn]

@@Hoop_Doctorsthe only reason I would even consider the possibility of him staying is the NIL money (3 mil this year alone and these Kentucky boosters have deep pockets) and the universal love he’s getting…but I’m with you I don’t see it happening

[@bobbyosborne2375]

You dream big dreams. He's out after this year

[@timboslice8559]

He’s a lottery pick right now

[@MatthewTillman]

🤣

[@thescatman5029]

"This is [Reed] Sheppard. This is like we seeing a ghost!"

[@mabdman2140]

Yes, he is the best freshman in the country, on a team with Rob Dillingham who is the second best freshman in the country.

[@allennewsome7976]

Yessssss

[@eddie3489]

Reed is the best freshman in college basketball!! That’s it! Stop the conversation!

[@Hoop_Doctors]

He’s special.

[@thunderbear82]

He kind of reminds me of a young John Stockton.

[@Hoop_Doctors]

I actually understand this comparison. Thanks for watching!

[@tonyelam4947]

louie dampier

[@king.kentucky1320]

I think reed wins as much natty for his state before he turns pro. Money wouldn't be an issue in his case.

[@Hoop_Doctors]

We shall see! His stock probably won't get much higher than it is right now.

[@oliverrowen729]

Rex Chapman said in his book he was paid 700k by UK boosters to stay another year. He said he had so much money inside of a shoebox under his bed at UK. You think Sheppard can't get that much. It's not the money for him.

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Not money but NBA situation. High draft picks get more investment so that means more opportunity. See Killian Hayes.

[@JWCFB]

I've been saying all year that Shepard isn't good enough to play in the League. Those dudes will eat him alive.

[@alexmeyer1581]

Is this John Stockton?

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Hope so! hahah

[@brandonscott8831]

Dillingham is a freshman

[@Hoop_Doctors]

I’m not sure if Rob is better honestly. It’s pretty close honestly.

[@oliverrowen729]

I don't think he's about the money he could want to hang around another year if they don't win it all.

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Not about money but the NBA is all about situation. I don’t know if he’lol be in a better one being such a high draft pick.

[@adamspanyer2040]

@@Hoop_Doctorsyea I agree he is more then likely gone no reason for him not to be given how high his draft stock is right now . Taking a chance on injury isn’t something any of these young players want to do with that high of a draft stock .

[@Keebo70]

No

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Who is then?

[@Keebo70]

@Hoop_Doctors I think Rob Dillingham would have something to say about that.

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Reed just won Freshman of the Year for a reason but it's close. @@Keebo70

[@Keebo70]

@Hoop_Doctors Last seconds on the clock, I want the ball in Dillingham's hand

[@Hoop_Doctors]

@@Keebo70 who has 2 game winners this year?

[@brandonscott8831]

He's not even the best freshman on his team

[@Hoop_Doctors]

Just won freshman of the year by ESPN and has one of highest plus minuses in college hoops.
