#4: San Antonio Spurs select Reed Sheppard 

The Spurs need shooting and playmaking around Wembanyama, so it makes sense for them to take the best shooter in the class. 

Sheppard is also a good defender, which Pop will love and can slot on or off the ball, making him a complementary piece no matter where you play him. 

A bonafide floor spreader who can also run the pick and roll is pretty much the ideal choice to put around Wembanyama, who will be creating a planet’s worth of gravity in the paint.
