Defensively, he competes with purpose, and his improving frame has made him more effective finishing through contact. His overall approach continues to make a strong impression.
Shannon continues to impress with how under control he plays the game. He doesn’t hunt bad shots or over-dribble — he simply makes winning decisions. The rising guard controls tempo, makes timely reads, and competes on every possession defensively. Physically, he’s beginning to grow into his frame, and that added size is helping him absorb contact better around the rim. His maturity, feel, and steady production have made him one of the more intriguing long-term guards in the class heading into the next stretch of offseason play.

Shannon has shown flashes of being a steady two-way presence. He plays with composure beyond his age and makes timely plays on both ends. Offensively, he doesn’t force the issue, but finds ways to contribute with smart decisions and off-ball movement.
A well-rounded player who has been making noise in the area. Played a key role as a freshman for a young squad, showing his ability to impact both ends of the floor.
Shannon has been a player to watch in the Tampa area for a few years now. As a freshman, he played a crucial role on a young Winthrop team. He gained valuable experience, and his impact and potential are evident in the statistics. Shannon is a player with good size who excels on both offense and defense. During the high school season, he averaged 7.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.

Shannon has been a consistent and reliable presence early in his freshman season. With a solid 6-0 frame, Shannon is already showcasing a high basketball IQ and a well-rounded skill set. He’s a knockdown shooter, particularly from behind the arc, and combines his offensive abilities with solid defensive effort. Shannon’s mix of strength, speed, and shooting makes him a key piece for his team this season.
Shannon started the day off hot during 3 on 3 play. I don’t remember seeing his team lose, and he was the main reason for that. He was knocking down 3’s consistently, and also using his size and scoring down low when he had the right matchup. He is smart player with an athletic frame and plays the game hard. Defensively he was typically guarding guys bigger than him but did an exceptional job keeping them in check. He is always in an athletic stance and giving it 100% on D, and offensively he has a well-rounded, mature skillset. Shannon is a prospect with high upside and one to keep a close eye on as he continues to add to his game as he enters high school.
