Schanbacher touched the game in many ways throughout the day. He touched the paint at an extended clip and sought ought contact when navigating to the bucket. He made his fair share of appearances at the foul line. He also showed that he can score from three. I like how he was able to connect with others for scoring chances. Schanbacher was also able to convert a few tough shots.

Really liked the scoring prowess of Schanbacher tonight he had his foot on the gas from the tip. He finished with a game high 28 points with four threes. He accumulated points by scoring as an off-ball slasher, filling the lane in transition, and on the attack going downhill. He was really assertive on the glass and had no issue finding rebounds that were out of his area. Schanbacher didn’t let the ball stick to his hands and found teammates for scoring chances. I like how he could fit the ball into tight gaps. He also was converted off of 2nd chance efforts.

Schanbacher had the kitchen sink thrown at him by Woodland Hills defense. They made him earn all eight of his points. He showed that he can convert tough shots through contact. Schanbacher connected on one three pointer. I liked how he was able to connect with a few of his teammates for scoring looks with his vision of the floor. He was in good spots on the floor to rebound and showed flashes of scoring coast to coast in transition. He needs to cut down the turnovers and work on tightening his handle. He can struggle when ball pressure in thrown at him.

A solid offensive eruption from Schanbacher who scored the ball in an array of ways. He scored inside the paint, from behind the arc, at the foul line, he also was converted on mid-range attempts. I would like to see him play off two more when on the attack, use fakes around the hoop, and use a jump stop instead of just throwing his body around inside. Schanbacher was able to rebound on the interior. He also showed that he can get others involved with his passing. Schanbacher should be on the radar of low major programs.
