Coming out of the gates on fire, Shelby Jr scored or assisted on the first 8 points of the game for his team. Able to knock down perimeter shots, beat his defender off the dribble to score at the rim and found himself in the right place for a couple offensive rebounds, Shelby Jr has some impressive offensive talent. Still figuring out how to round out his game and contribute to winning, there’s some interesting talent with Shelby Jr if he continues to put in the work.
