Pass-First Guard with Real Playmaking Juice
Shoptaw is a 6-foot-2 South Alabama guard whose best calling card is elite creation: he has been a high-assist point guard, capped by a senior year at Windermere Prep with 12.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, plus earlier reports of 6.6 assists per game and a school-record 192 assists in a season. He profiles as a tough, team-first floor general who can raise a roster’s offensive organization and pace, but he missed his first college season after a preseason knee injury, so durability and return-to-form are the key questions.
