Basketball: Shepherd is the One

The one chosen to represent Canada in a US vs. the World All-Star game, that is. Impressive given that highly ranked UCLA recruit Ryan Wright, who considered Michigan, is also from the Great White North.

This is what Shepherd's coach thinks of him:

"If he finishes off well, people will be putting him in that class as one of the best (high school) players ever produced in Canada," Dawkins said. "And if you combine that with his character, he could be one of the greatest of them all out of Toronto."

Mmmm, that's good praise. Hopefully he can contribute immediately.
