At 6'1 he uses his pace and well-rounded skill to be a triple threat on the perimeter.
Sheppard was outstanding in the shooting guard role averaging 21.5 ppg and 4.5 3FGM this weekend. Habitual big shot maker, with deadly accuracy if given space to score. His perimeter performance was impressive but his ability to not rely on on the deep ball was equally impressive with a combination of great mid-range shots and around-the-rim finishes. After a heartbreaking first-round defeat by Mpire, Shepard led the response for HoopAtlanta with 25 points in a 34 point route over OTP National 2025.

Bello was the anchor on both sides of the ball for an EYA Team that takes pride in their heavy, fast-paced pressure on offense. Bello was impressive in open court with sturdy, quick lines to the basket. He uses this same tactic to great space on the perimeter to knock down the open three-pointers off the dribble and off-ball. His high motor activity makes him a target for easy transition buckets and defenders on their heels.
