High-motor rebounder and efficient paint finisher who already impacts winning
Shumate stands out as a **battle-tested, high-efficiency forward** whose value goes beyond box-score scoring: in the 2024-25 college season he averaged 10.5 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 61.9% from the field, and he followed that with a strong 2025-26 G League start at 8.8 points and 5.2 rebounds on 51.6% shooting[15][18]. He is especially appealing for teams that want **physicality, rebounding, and energy**—he has shown he can create extra possessions and deliver in big moments, including a record-setting Southland Conference tournament run in which he averaged 26.7 points and 13.7 rebounds across three games[19].
