Expert Analysis

Two weekends ago this three-point sniper helped push FCP 16U to a 5-0 record at the Spring Jam Fest. Scherzer’s jumper possesses a quick release and logo distance range. He was especially effective coming off screen action, but Scherzer also knocked down transition threes as well as spot up triples. When opponents manage to chase Scherzer of the arc, he got to his mid-range spot off the dribble for pull ups and runners or all the way to the tin for lay-ups. Plus, Scherzer displayed a high IQ and excellent court vision as his creative passes repeatedly found teammates for easy buckets.

During the off-season, this three-point sniper transferred to SCHA from Abington Friends. His addition to the Blue Devils lineup will provide needed floor spacing for their host of dribble drive guards. Scherzer’s jumper possesses a quick release and logo distance range, so opponents need to pick him up the moment he steps over half court. Additionally, Scherzer can put the ball on the floor and create opportunities for himself as well as teammates. When he is looking to score off the dribble, Scherzer can do so via stop and pop jumpers or by getting to the tin for a lay-up. Scherzer is an underrated open court threat too.
