Shon Abaev brings stretch-wing upside to Cincinnati
A 2025-26 freshman guard for Cincinnati, Abaev has shown real scoring upside with four-team-leading scoring outings and a season-high 20 points, while also flashing rebound help and playmaking from the wing. His best differentiator is his size and versatility for the perimeter: he can attack, rebound, and handle enough to fit in multiple lineup types, but his current value is tempered by efficiency that has been inconsistent from the field and beyond the arc. If your team wants a high-ceiling, multi-tool wing who can grow into a bigger role, he’s a strong fit.
