He’s at 80% I think. Good but not great. Remember IQ was at like 92% 4 years ago.
THANK YOU, again, for this information. These are very good percentages, imho. Because he is cool, calm, collected and focused, I can see how he has been able to shoot as well as he has on the bigger stage. Great to see it ... not a surprise !!

Legs are important in free throw shooting. Watch a tape of Kyle Macy shooting free throws. Sheppard has an excellent stroke but fatigue and tired legs erode shooting percentage. I doubt Sheppard or any of these guys have ever been physically tested like this before. It isn't going to get better.
What do you have against Reed? Every comment you have made about him has been in a negative light.
They have? Which ones?
To say someone is only shooting 75% in conference play comes off negative. You are throwing shade with the only word thrown in. You are correct though, 75% is not bad but he has still not missed a free throw when they are needed to ice the game or force OT. Choose any one player off this team to hit two free throws or even 3 free throws to win a game I’m putting shep out there every single time.
Agree with this. He’s missed a couple in late game situations where the game was out of reach, and missed one on purpose.
You're just nit picking on something to complain about. He was just stating a fact. 75 percent is still pretty good.
Not nit picking at all. I have history with this poster from a thread the other day saying that shep also missed a free throw that had he hit we also win the game which was obviously incorrect. The post I have seen from him regarding shep have all been negative in nature as was this one.
Saying that you would only choose Sheppard is negative to all the other players applying your logic.
Actually it’s just nice to be able to watch a fundamentally sound basketball player for a change. He makes his fair share of mistakes for certain but that doesn’t take away from the many positives he brings to the floor. You’re still pissed because I called you out the other day for saying reeds missed free throw cost us the game. And if you don’t want Reed on the line moreso than anyone else with the game on the line your just as big of a moron as cal is.
Lol, dude, you're the one who just admitted to stalking me in this thread because of what you called a "history", yet I am the one that is angry?
Stalking? You and I have been trading messages for the past 2 days regarding shep and your previous username. If you don’t remember me after trading about 10 messages in 24 hours or so then you have more issues than just thinking Reed intentionally missing one free throw down by 3 points with .02 to go cost us the game. And reeves may be the best percentage FT shooter on our team does not mean he’s the best in the clutch. If you are going to participate in basketball discussion at least learn the game.
Because he is our best inbounder by a long shot and no one shoots free throws if you don’t get the ball in. You want Shep to inbound it to reeves and then maybe get it back. I would be open to Mitchell inbounding it although i think he is a pretty good safety valve on the inbounds as well.
Lol, dude, I really don't remember anonymous strangers on the internet. Clearly it's all a lot more important and memorable to you!
Ok, then why did our best inbounder throw the inbound pass to Dilly? If he was the only one open, maybe a coach should have had an inbounds play drawn up? Who shoots the free throws is more important IMO. Heck, Shep won the game at Florida making six in a row. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
