[Wasserman] After working out for the Hawks and Jazz, Ben Sheppard is now scheduled to work out for the Pelicans (#14) and Warriors (19), per source. There has been a boom of interest in Sheppard after his tremendous NBA combine. Has moved into the first round mix and rising.

This is hype imo… Ben has separated himself as a steady handed jumbo guard but if we’re talking about the first round. You are talking about the 30th pick lol. Ben is firmly a 40 range player to me. I could be wrong though.
14 is “sorry I can’t take you serious right now” material Mr Wasserman. Wasserman is a top ten draft nerd but I think this is source/agent hype.
Shoots the 3 ball really well, can navigate screens and within the offense, gets his shot off quick too, has a playmaking touch since he played pg before growing. Only problem is he gets blown by by athletic pg and bulldozed by big forwards, hes a 6’6 light forward so a bit of a tweener in that sense, interesting prospect tho!
