3. SG, Reed Sheppard, Kentucky 

Reed Sheppard has been climbing draft boards all season long, and expect him to potentially go in the top five. His overall game translates very well to the NBA, and he has all the attributes to be an elite offensive guard and scorer at the professional level. 

Sheppard averaged 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.5 assists while shooting 53.6% from the field and 52.1% from three. He had some monstrous performances throughout the season, including 27 points against Tennessee, 24 points against Florida, and 32 points on the road against Mississippi State. 

Sheppard does have room for improvement on the defensive end, Oftentimes teams would try and attack him, but for any team that needs floor spacing, scoring, and a volume shooter, Reed Sheppard is your guy.
