Ernest Shelton is Merrimack’s high-volume scoring guard with real shot-making juice
Shelton is a heavy-minutes, high-usage guard for Merrimack who has been a primary scorer in 2025-26, averaging about 15.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.2 steals while playing 36.8 minutes per game.[3][6] His differentiators are volume and durability, plus efficient free-throw shooting (87% in 2025-26) and enough perimeter threat to keep defenses honest, even if his overall field-goal percentage is modest.[1][3] He fits best as a lead scoring piece rather than a table-setting point guard, and his low assist totals suggest a scorer-first role.[3][4]
