Expert Analysis

Michael Schneiderman

Prep Hoops Scout

It’s been good to see Shim progress as an athlete and IQ player over the last year and a half. I first saw him last Spring and his coordination has significantly improved along with his motor to run the floor. It was evident over the weekend to see him catch a lob from beyond the perimeter and rim run consistently keeping pace with quick guards in the transition phase. He continues to gain more strength on his frame as well. With his plus length with already adequate size, his wingspan will continue to be a challenge at the basket for drivers. Shim’s attitude on the offensive boards are also a bright upside to consider as he is timing the ball effectively off the rim and giving his team more second chance opportunities. The ceiling continues to be raised for the 2028 Forward from Kenwood.

I caught Shim last summer a couple of times with the Ayo Dos squad and over the course of 9 months has upped his game. His coordination continues to come along and he is playing in more confident stride with or without the ball. His reaction time is gaining quickness as his long wingspan continues to be eye catching as well. His movement is more responsive and intentional with a continued upward rise in stock.
