LAS VEGAS, NV – Thursday marked ten days since Virginia Tech product Aisha Sheppard’s name was called on draft day. She’s hit the ground running in Vegas, and head coach Becky Hammon has noticed.
“Aisha, she’s been somewhat, not that we’re surprised, she can really shoot the ball. I’m a coach that really values shooting, so I love what she’s done in camp,” Hammon said. “A couple times in shooting drills, she’s gone toe-to-toe with some of our best shooters. So for a coach that values threes, she certainly has a soft spot in my heart for sure.”
