Josiah Shackleford brings efficient, physical frontcourt production to North Texas
Shackleford is a low-usage, high-efficiency forward whose value comes from finishing plays, crashing the glass, and bringing energy on both ends. In North Texas’s 2025-26 season, he has averaged 6.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in 23 games while shooting 55.8% from the field, with his profile showing solid activity as a rebounder and shot disruptor rather than a primary scorer[6][4]. His earlier stops also show a consistent knack for efficient inside scoring and rebounding, which suggests a player who fits best in a role that rewards toughness, movement, and doing the dirty work[2][9].
