Key notes- 22 year old with a strong build. Lefty
Pros- Is a 6'7 two guard who can shoot from outside somewhat reliable. Numbers are deceiving when looking how he shoots because the 32% is purely from shooting more. He can be a player that shoots 38-40 percent from three without a question. Long arms and above average athletism allows him to be a great defender. Is explosive around the rim and can throw down. Very good off the catch.
Cons- Doesn't hold follow through and can get rushed on his shot. Plays a little out of control. Can only reliable guard 2-3 but can switch onto 1's. Smaller wingspan
Role- Catch and shoot wing off ball wing denfensivly 3 and D
Comp- Kelly Oubre Jr
Streaky shot-making may still work for Shannon under the assumption that his open-floor ball-handling, burst and physical tools will translate to effective slashing and defense. Even if he only shot 32.1 percent from three this year, it was encouraging to see him attempt 5.0 threes a game.
Ballhawk defender who also provides microwave scoring.
