Breaking News
Ben Sheppard was born on July 16, 2001, and is an American professional basketball player for the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was selected by the Pacers with the 26th overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft.
Sheppard played college basketball for the LSU Tigers, where he was a two-time All-SEC selection. In his junior season, he averaged 14.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. He also led the SEC in three-point shooting, making 41.8% of his attempts.

The Pacers are coming off a disappointing season in which they finished 25-57. They are hoping that Sheppard can help them improve their record and make a playoff run in the 2023-24 season.
