• Reed Sheppard has been a major surprise on NBA draft boards this season. He boasts the highest three-point shooting percentage among all players on this list, hitting an impressive 57.1 percent on just over four attempts per game. Initially not considered a top prospect even within Kentucky’s roster, Sheppard has now caught the attention of scouts. His elite marksmanship, combined with high basketball IQ and flashes of solid playmaking, is generating significant lottery buzz. Also good athlete and good defender. Best shooter in this draft and best shooter ever maybe.
• Jared McCain, one of the rising stars from Duke University, is making waves in the 2024 NBA Draft. As a dynamic guard, he stands out as one of the best prospects in a relatively weak talent pool. Notably, Draft expert Jonathan Givony has bestowed upon him the title of the “best shooter” in the current draft.
• Zaccharie Risacher, great shooter for 3pts
• Donovan Clingan is a big center
• Stephon Castle is great defender and ball handler
• Cody Williams is brother of Jalen Williams
• Devin Carter is 22 years old.
• Dalton Knecht is 23 years old and great shooter
• Rob Dillingham great strength: acceleration
• Tristan da Silva is 23 years old. Brazilian.
• Ja’Kobe Walter is good shooter. Pro comparison: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
• Carlton Carrington – Odlican shooter – all positions
