While Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard is considered to be one of the best prospects in the 2024 NBA Draft, don’t expect the Portland Trail Blazers to take him if he’s available with the No. 7 overall pick.
Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley writes that the Blazers are the worst fit for Sheppard among any lottery-bound team.
The Blazers might have a pressing need for perimeter shooting, but they don’t need more guards. Especially not ones who stand just 6’2” and come with all of the defensive concerns that lack of size elicits.
