The scouting reports say he can guard all five positions and at 6'9 handles and passes the ball better than anyone we now have on the team.

Average handle at best for a SF...definitely above average for a PF.   His vision seems to be pretty incredible, although a lot of his passes seem to be flashy (highlight video?).  Seems like a kid you would only want taking 3-4 dribbles either after grabbing a board and going or attacking the basket.  I like the use of the body down low...in rhythm after the boards...tough to teach that.  Great length...surely not the athlete Sampson is, but who is?

Prototypical Lavin recruit right here. 

He reminds me of Mason Jr when he dribbles
*wipes ketchup from his eyes* - I guess Heinz sight isn’t 20/20.

A very, solid defensive player.  By the way, Paul Biancardi stated (paraphrase), "Shepard is still growing."

Shepard looks like he could be a special player for us, possessing perhaps more upside than any of the other bigs that we are currently coveting.  Anyone know if he's academically on track?

FWIW on ESPN insider today they call Sheppard a Michael Kidd-Gilchrist clone.

One of best defenders in class. Top 5? YES! RT @TheLoboLair how much has @WinnShepard_35 grown since summer and is he a top 5 defender?


And Shephard said he's 6'9", not 6'6" or 6'7" like he's commonly listed. I see more 6'9" than the others in the videos.

The question I have is why has his recruitment been so wide open whereas most kids are down to a small number and have been for awhile.
Remember who broke the Slice news

I don't care what he says. He's not 6'9 he's 6'7 not an inch taller. He's not a super athlete vertically but he moves so well laterally and is long which is what makes him such a good defender. Really doesn't bring much around the perimeter offensively in terms of shooting but sees the floor well. For comparison sake he's like more grounded Amir Garrett.

He's being ranked awfully high for someone without an offensive repertoire or elite athleticism.... or size from what Dave says.

He has a good, floor game.  Somewhat of a jack of all trades-type.
