The freshman is currently averaging 21.7 PPG which puts him at 7th in state. On Saturday against Foothill he was draining shot after shot from downtown and ended up with 5 3PM on the day. In addition to his sharp shooting, he played some great defense. McMorran II anticipated Foothill's passes a couple of times and he finished the game with 5 steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 23 Points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1268866"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678451ce6195e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Wildcats stayed right with Mojave most of the way, but Shaw's reliable production on offense was tough for Las Vegas High School to keep up with. Eventually he and the Rattlers pulled away in the 4th quarter. Shaw was getting by defenders and scored quite a few layups, as well as a dunk. I also noticed him making life difficult for the Wildcats guards on the defensive end with his length and athleticism. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 21 Points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1253136"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678451ce619aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1253136' first='Tayshaun' last='Jackson'] left it all on the court on Saturday.

I was impressed with how he attacked some very athletic guards, and he had a decent amount of success. Jackson also played hard on defense and had a block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 26 Points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2145745"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678451ce619f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2145745' first='Dejon' last='Townsend'] brought his A game on Saturday.
