elite 3-and-D college guard with clutch shot-making and program-level efficiency
Schakel was a high-impact San Diego State guard whose value went well beyond box-score scoring: he finished his Aztec career with 1,034 points, ranked third in school history with 225 made 3-pointers, and held the program’s all-time free-throw percentage mark at .8698.[1][2][6] His calling card was reliable perimeter shooting and big-moment poise—he was strong enough to carry offensive stretches, including a 10-made-three performance in a two-game set that accounted for 29% of SDSU’s offense.[4] For teams, he profiles as a ready-made floor spacer and disciplined, low-drama role player with proven clutch value.[3][4]
