Hoping to leave a good final impression on local scouts as he finishes out his senior year, Shaffer followed up a strong season with an explosive display from beyond the arc in an eye-opening performance despite leaving with a tough loss. The swingman shook loose for eight (!!) 3’s, consistently finding open space along the perimeter and showing off his textbook high release off the catch. He has good size for the perimeter and has shown some auxiliary game off the bounce in other settings. Shaffer has some interesting choices in front of him, as he could be a small-college steal or a sneaky late add at the scholarship-level, but also has the option of a prep year on the table having just turned 18 and being on a clear uptick in his development.

A smooth-shooting wing guard, Shaffer has been a key part of the Abington Heights rotation for several years but looks to be playing the best basketball of his career at the right time as he gears up for his senior season. Having filled out substantially over the years, he’s matured into a more fluid athlete as well, allowing him to more effectively complement his catch-and-shoot game with knifing attacks off the bounce. With nice positional size and a clean complementary skillset, Shaffer should draw recruitment from a variety of programs across the D2 and D3 landscape or could be an intriguing option for post-grad programs should he desire an extra year to bolster his development.

Shaffer has been in the rotation since his freshman year for perennial district power Abington Heights, but has really started to put things together as of late heading into what could be a breakout senior season. A rangy shooter who’s demonstrated himself to be dangerous sniper from behind the arc with a smooth and refined stroke, he also shows increasing ability to attack off the bounce and finish with craft near the rim. He’s started to turn the corner physically and athletically after going through a bit of an awkward phase, and being young for his grade, could have more physical upside left to tap into moving forward. Scholarship-level and small-college coaches alike should be getting eyes on him regularly beginning this month.
