Sheppard could never crack the starting line-up as a freshman, Perry is unlikely to do that either .We will have to wait till their Soph year to compare stats..........oh wait, Sheppard never made it that far. So, like how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center, the world may never know.
Sheppard is/was the better overall athlete, a bit bigger and stronger. I doubt either of them can keep a chair from getting into the lane if it wanted to do so. Sheppard was more valuable to his team than Perry is likely to be in his first year.
We caught lightening in a bottle with Sheppard, it is not likely we can do the same in back to back years
