Phenom Hoops continues to monitor players even at the next level, as we are always happy to see the success stories of players at the collegiate level. One player who has proven many wrong and has taken advantage of the opportunities ahead of him has been Ketron Shaw, who started his collegiate career at Winston-Salem State and is now at Maryland Eastern Shore. At UMES, he is having an absolute superb start to the season, nearly averaging 25ppg, 4.5rpg, and 4.0apg, as the 6’5 prospect has been assertive offensively, showing his all-around game, and ability to fill it up. Shaw has always been one who understands how to use his length and athleticism to his advantage, being an effective scorer inside and out, finishing at the rim, and creating extremely well in finishing or getting to the line (averages 11 free throws a game).
Shaw, coming from Mooresville, has taken advantage of the opportunities ahead of him and has continued to get better, developing more of his game, and being a strong offensive creator. This is a young man that has put in the work and the hard work is now paying off.
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“It’s easy to see the next-level ability with Shaw, so his lack of recruitment remains somewhat perplexing. He’s a wiry, well-rounded guard with a nice blend of IQ, skill, and athleticism. Shaw has shown the ability to dictate an offense as the focal point or find opportunities within a role, but is successful and productive in both settings. He’s an efficient scoring option from all levels, but is arguably at his best when getting downhill and attacking the basket. Shaw is a quality passer, rebounder, and defender with great instincts. Expect more offers to come piling in sooner than later.”
“Shaw has been a known name in North Carolina for quite some time now, but it still feels like he goes under the radar as far as his game and recognition. Well, it seems that he wanted to make a statement at the Jamboree Bash and that he did. Shaw is a long, athletic prospect that knows how to operate and use his length. He seemed to get his hands on everything, finishing in the paint over defenders, getting on the offensive and defensive boards, finishing at the rim with his athleticism, and knocking down shots from an array of levels. It is time for coaches to start learning the name of KC Shaw more and expect him to have a big year in North Carolina.”
