“All-time? One of my favorites is Tyler Ulis. And that was really cool this year because he was on staff so I was able — he was able to kind of coach me throughout the year,” Sheppard said, as per On3 Sports.

Ulis was part of the Wildcats staff and could forge a relationship with Sheppard. Despite forming a close bond with him, Reed Sheppard mentioned other great players he admire.

“But you have so many great players that play at Kentucky,” Sheppard said. “Devin Booker’s one that I really like to watch, Karl Anthony-Towns. And it’s cool for me because I have pictures with them from when I was a little kid. So I’ve been watching them forever, so it’ll be really cool to play against them.”

As per CBS Sports, Sheppard can go third in the 2024 NBA draft to the Houston Rockets via the Brooklyn Nets. Are you excited to see Reed's reaction to getting his name called on his special night? Let us know your thoughts in the discussion box.
