INTRODUCTION
Will Shepherd began his college career at Oakland, where he served as a backup to Keaton Hervey and Trey Townsend. With limited minutes, he opted to transfer to the Mustangs, where he became a full-time starter and earned Honorable Mention in the Lone Star Conference in 2025. He profiles as a modern stretch-four with decent mobility and the ability to leverage his size in the low post when matched against smaller defenders. His main offensive tool is floor spacing: he’s a reliable three-point shooter (38.9% on 3.5 attempts per game) and shows some ability to read defenses and involve teammates (1.2 assists per game). While he possesses a soft touch around the rim, he lacks the burst to be a consistent threat off the dribble and may struggle to finish through contact against more physical bigs. His offensive value lies primarily in his shooting and off-ball movement rather than self-creation.
On the defensive end, he displays solid positional awareness and uses his wingspan to provide secondary rim protection (0.7 blocks per game) and help on the boards (5.3 rebounds). However, his limited lateral quickness can be exposed on perimeter switches, especially against quicker forwards.
Overall, Shepherd is a floor-spacing forward with good size and an understanding of team concepts. He can be a useful piece in a mid-to-low level European league, particularly in systems that value shooting from the frontcourt and structured halfcourt offense.
