About Darian
Expert Analysis
Steve Quattrocchi | Prep Hoops Scout
Another point guard who excels when he’s in the open floor or directing traffic on the offensive end, Darian is a crafty playmaker who can finish around the rim but is at his best when he’s creating for others. Capable of picking up 94 feet on the defensive end. Shy is one of the best small guards in the state.

Darian is one of my favorite point guards in the Junior class. He’s quick and has a tight handle on the ball. Shy doesn’t force his own offense or anything crazy. He sets the table for his teammates and picks his spots to go and score for himself. A good defender, Darian is currently shooting 49/41/70 for a Seneca team that is having a very good season.

A highly skilled passer who is also very fast, Darian lacks ideal size but is a player who just gets things done. Look for him to earn some recognition for a young Seneca team this season.

Another Louisville point guard who excels at getting into the paint and wreaking havoc on a defense, Darian is playing really well as a Sophomore. A good facilitator who can also score from range, Shy has potential to be a scholarship level player.

Shy gets overlooked in Louisville but he’s a talented playmaker with a bright future. He also carries himself like a true PG in the sense that he is not afraid to speak up and run a team. Even when his team is full of relative strangers.

Shy is one of the craftiest guards in the class and his full game was on display Saturday. Darian has a tight handle and advanced passing skills. He also showed off some impressive midrange shooting while playing 5 on 5 at camp. Darian could be one of the best 2027s in Louisville this season.

Shy continues to be one of my favorite young point guards in the state. Quick and super skilled, Darian is an excellent passer who excels as a facilitator. He’s a good finisher at the rim and uses his quick first step to get there.

Darian is a talented player who has had some super impressive outings against his own age group prior to starting high school. An advanced passer and playmaker, Shy has struggled with his scoring a little this season for Ballard but could potentially have the keys to the Bruin offense for the next three seasons. Darian will need to continue improving his scoring in addition to his playmaking but he’s a skilled lead guard.

When motivated, I’m not sure there are many better point guards in the 27 class. Darian is quick and skilled with the ball on a string and is a good passer who sees the floor well. When he decides he wants to sit down and guard, he can. The only thing that will slow Shy’s development is himself and his getting frustrated with things he cannot control.

Darian is an electric playmaker who can get past about anyone when he decides he wants to go and do it. Shy is quick and skilled and makes some fantastic passes when he’s got the ball in the open floor. His biggest area for improvement I saw at the Freshman showcase was to have his motor running at all times. He may be the most fun point guard to watch in this group when he’s motivated and has a killer mentality.
