Unlocking the 2025-26 NBA Season: Which Unexpected Stars Will Redefine the Game?
That brings us to Sheppard. The Kentucky product was taken third overall in the 2024 NBA Draft in part because of his ability to create for himself and others. In his single season at Kentucky, Sheppard was in the 93rd percentile in off-the-dribble jumper efficiency.
Last season, though, Sheppard’s ineffectiveness (28th percentile DRIP) made it hard for him to see the floor (654 total minutes) on a team that was focused on winning as many games as possible. The Rockets have to hope that Sheppard will be able to take a major leap in Year 2 if they plan on fielding a more balanced offense.
