10p 7r 2a 3s vs Academy of Central Florida

-Shields had some nice flashes as a bouncy wing that guarded several positions in a matchup against an ACF team with a ton of positional size. Shields started things off with a thunderous 2-handed lob finish in transition, knocked down a midrange jumper, and crashed to the rim to snag offensive rebounds to either score or bring the ball out to run a set play looking for a bucket. Currently a jack of all trades master of none with a diverse skillset–I think he is an assertive mindset away from being a high-ceiling prospect capable of filling the stat sheet.

Previous Rank: 95

-One of our biggest movers of the cycle, our writers are really high on Shields’ long term upside as a prospect. His skill base is pretty diverse at this stage in his career. Shields can put the ball on the floor, has made huge strides as a shooter off the catch, gets off the floor very quickly, and can finish plays above the rim. Shields is a fluid athlete that gives his team a ton of lineup flexibility as a wing prospect that can feasibly guard 1-4 at the HS level. Really excited to see how he is used this season as a dynamic play-finisher on the wing that can impact the game in several different areas.
