Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth 1.27.
Genuine sleeper — bet on the leap. He went from a forgotten rookie to a 14-point sharpshooter once the backcourt opened up, and Houston is high enough on him that he's not going anywhere. We push him to 16 points, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals with elite three volume, a clean profile. The watch: a veteran's return could nick the minutes. Draft the upside.
Reed Sheppard enters 2026-27 at #55 on our board — Round 5 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 16.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 26.6 minutes a night. The value is built on threes and steals, with rebounds the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-rebounds builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 69 games. The usage arrow points up (23.6% projected vs 21.9% last season).
