Belmont's Ben Sheppard will declare for the 2023 NBA Draft and forgo his remaining college eligibility, he told ESPN. The 6’6, 21-year old wing was a First-team All-Missouri Valley and All-Defensive team player, averaging 18.9 points and 2.9 assists, shooting 42% for 3.
Scouts and front offices are starting to take notice of Ben Shepphard.
The 6’6 guard is extremely fluid and shoots well off the catch or the dribble. Averaging 20.3PTS, 5REB, and 4AST. Shooting 50% from the field.

Intrigued by Belmont senior wing Ben Sheppard, who's consistently added to his game now averaging 20-5-4.5 assists + 2.4 3PTM. A 6-6, long-stride driver/transition scorer, covers lot of ground quickly OTD. Clever finisher, expanding shotmaking versatility. Still 21 y/o.
@cbaskerville_3 and @PerusekCole ...state champions, great men, winning 72 games in their 3 years on varsity,and signing to play at the next level. I wish signing day was in-person but honoring you guys was still emotional. Nothing was handed to you, you earned every ounce of it.

Came up against a very tough Monroe team and couldn’t make enough shots. Thank you to all our seniors who led us to a great year. We finish the year 21-9.
