Jeff Sheppard has been waived by the Atlanta Hawks. The team had invited him to their mini-camp in June and he had played with the team at Life College during the lockout. Sheppard had played in several of the Hawks games this season, usually in the final minute of the game. The coaches express regret at having to let the young player go but their bench is deeper than in past years and the deadline to cut players is rapidly approaching.

Sheppard hopes to continue to play in the NBA and there are plenty of teams that could use a hard working guard and the 1998 Final Four MVP.
