Matt Shaw’s UNLV-era game was built on size, rebounding, and surprising touch from deep
In the 2009-10 season, Matt Shaw was a 6-foot-8 UNLV forward known for stretching the floor — he averaged 7.0 points and hit a team-best 45% from three, while also bringing enough board work and veteran feel to help a 25-win Rebels team. His calling card was versatility: he could score inside, rebound, and punish defenses that helped too far off the perimeter. The caution flag is durability, with a knee injury and rehab previously interrupting his run, but when healthy he offered a useful, low-drama, high-efficiency frontcourt fit.
