Brailey Dizney jokes after Reed Sheppard's NBA Draft declaration
Two months ago, the Kentucky guard officially declared for the 2024 NBA Draft, ending speculation about his future after a breakout freshman season. Sheppard, who averaged 12.5 points on 53.6% shooting, 4.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.5 steals per game, made the announcement via an Instagram post.
"I'm going all-in," Sheppard said. "I've gotten really good feedback showing where I can be in the draft. I had an unbelievable year at Kentucky."
Brailey Dizney, humorously reacted to the news, commenting:
"I was fine being a church/ymca league wife but this works too."
Sheppard's impressive stats made him named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year. His elite shooting ability, particularly his 52.1% from 3-point range, has made him a highly intriguing prospect for NBA scouts. Former Wildcats coach John Calipari praised Sheppard, the only college athlete with 145 assists, 80 steals, and 75 3-pointers.
With the NBA Draft at the end of June, Sheppard is projected to be a top-five pick, owing to his outstanding college performance and potential at the professional level.
