Interior forward with proven rebounding and rim protection
Nick Shepherd profiles as a physical, old-school forward who can still matter because of his size, rebounding, and shot-blocking presence; at Long Beach State he averaged 9.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game while shooting 58% from the field, and later Texas Southern/ESPN listings show him as a low-usage frontcourt piece rather than a featured scorer. That makes him a fit for teams needing toughness, paint defense, and efficient finishing more than spacing or high-volume offense.
