According to Tom Orsborn, a reporter from The San Antonio Express News, the San Antonio Spurs, who held the No. 4 and No. 8 first round signatures in the next NBA draft conference, have targeted the backcourt double stars Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham of the University of Kentucky,They will probably choose one of the two players with one of the high ranking lottery tickets.
In this season's NCAA game, Shepard has played 33 times on behalf of the University of Kentucky, with an average playing time of 28.9 minutes. The average playing time is 12.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.5 steals, 0.7 blocks, and two mistakes. The shooting percentage is 53.6%, the three-point shooting percentage is 52.1%, and the free throw percentage is 83.1%.In this season's NCAA game, Dillingham played 32 games on behalf of the University of Kentucky, with an average playing time of 23.2 minutes. The average number of games was 15.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 2 mistakes. The shooting percentage was 47.5%, the three-point shooting percentage was 44.4%, and the free throw hit rate was 79.6%.
Both players have outstanding performance in attack efficiency. They both have excellent scoring ability. Among them, Dillingham's skills and basic skills are also very solid. He can also use his ability in dribbling control and rhythm control to complete various breakthroughs. His finishing ability is also worthy of recognition,However, his performance on the defensive side is more or less worrying, and whether he can become a real point guard is also a question mark.Shepard's three-point shooting rate and his performance on the defensive end far exceeded everyone's expectations.But his problem is that his offensive ability with the ball is not so ideal, and it seems that he may not be competent for the role of the core of the backcourt organization.The most important thing is that both players are very limited in stature, and their static talents are not ideal.Although Shepard's dynamic talent seems to be much better than everyone's imagination, it can't completely make up for his weakness in static talent.
In fact, we all know that the Spurs need to improve their competitiveness in the No. 1 position, and they probably will use one of the two lottery signings in the high order to choose a point guard.Seen from the performance of this season, Shepard and Dillingham are indeed the players who have performed quite well overall among all the candidates and can serve as the No. 1 player.However, their weaknesses are also quite obvious, and whether they can be qualified for the position of No. 1 in the NBA level, especially whether they can bear the burden of the core of the backcourt, is very doubtful.Will the Spurs be willing to use one of the valuable lottery signings to win Shepard or Dillingham in the draft convention?
