The Pacers selected Ben Sheppard with pick No. 26 of the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday.

1 year ago

Sheppard will turn 22 next month, so he is one of the older prospects in this draft. After spending four years at Belmont, Sheppard had plenty of time to develop before entering the draft. He didnâ??t play much as a freshman, but he turned into an intriguing prospect that can provide both shooting and defense. During his senior season, he averaged 18.8 points, 2.5 triples, and 1.4 steals per game. He may not have the upside that other prospects have, but he could make an impact as a rookie. He'll be an excellent shooting option to help Tyrese Haliburton get some extra assists, and he will fit their timeline as they look to get back into contention within the next few seasons.
