What changed

Last season (2025-26)
Rim share+10 ptsProbably real

Sheppard's rim share is up 10 points over his last 25 games of the season (34% vs 24%). The likely reason: Bennedict Mathurin (32 MPG before) left the team. Also a new teammate: Kobe Brown joined the rotation on Feb 10 and played 23.9 MPG. Probably real: about 60% should hold.
