Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-2 combo guard has tight handles, is a true 3-level scorer, is becoming a more polished play maker, and can fire shots from beyond the arc with range. Schalk had his full skill set on display against Garces Memorial of Bakersfield in a lopsided victory, going for 12 points and a pair of threes, along with 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. Schalk has a smooth handle on the ball, keeps it on a string to survey the floor, uses the crossover, behind-cross, hesitation, and between-cross to get his defender off balance, gets good lift on the jumper with accuracy on the mid-range to the 3-point line, has touch on the floater, and is creative scoring around the basket with use of the Euro-step, reverse, and up-and-under lay-ups in his arsenal. Schalk moves fluidly off the ball, gets to his shot spots, has a quick but effective release on the jump shot, and is a volume scorer from the 3-point line off the dribble or the catch. What impressed me most was his decision making with the ball in his hand at the point, showing the court vision and precision passing to find open teammates off the drive and kick pass, as well as hitting teammates in stride diving to the basket out of the pick and roll action. Schalk has improved his on-ball defense, with quicker foot speed and lateral movement, as well as the instincts to jump passing lanes or poke the ball out.
