Virginia walk-on forward Drew Shiembob brings toughness and reliability
Drew Shiembob is best known as a gritty 6-foot-4 forward from Richmond who earned his spot at Virginia after a tryout, and he fits the classic low-drama, high-effort profile coaches love. In the 2005-06 season, he averaged 1.2 points and 0.4 rebounds in 12 games, with efficient shooting and perfect free-throw touch in limited minutes, but his real value was his captaincy at St. Christopher’s, rebounding pedigree, and willingness to do the unglamorous work. If you want a dependable culture-setter rather than a volume scorer, he checks the box.
