Offensively he is a bit raw with his body control and misses some easy shots inside. Can knock in a mid-range 15 foot jumper. Good rebounder that once he adds more strength should be even more effective in that area. Presence on the defensive end blocking shots. A name to watch moving forward in 2018.
Shaw had a big growth spurt in recent years and is still getting used to his body.
“When I was in sixth grade I was smaller than everyone else. Then I started getting taller in seventh and eighth grade.”
He talked about what he feels the strengths are in his game.
“I am a big rebounder and love to shoot on the perimeter. I am getting better and developing more going to the basket with pivot steps and all that.”
