Ben Sheppard Struggles as Pacers' Backup
Ben Sheppards Struggles: A Setback for the Indiana PacersDespite the Pacers rough start, injured star Tyrese Haliburtons absence has presented opportunities for other players. However, Ben Sheppard, expected to shine, has underperformed. Averaging low points, rebounds, and assists, with poor shooting percentages, Sheppards struggles as a lead ball-handler have drawn criticism. His corner three-point percentage drop is particularly concerning. If he cant improve his scoring efficiency, his value to the team may decrease, potentially leading to reduced playing time.DNN | The Daily News Now!The world’s first global local news network.Every city.
