Measurables:
Via NBA
- Age: 23 (24 in June)
- Height: 6’5.5″
- Wingspan: 7’0.25″
- Weight: 197 LBs
Strengths:
Absurdly long wingspan at 7’0.25″. Could theoretically play 2-4.
Efficient and natural scorer. Shot at 49.6/38.6/87.8 clip last season on 18.7 PPG.
Good off-ball scorer. Above average shooter that does well off cuts.
Decent defender. Long arms and decent athleticism make him versatile.
High Floor.
Weaknesses:
Age. One of the oldest prospects in the class.
Doesn’t offer a ton as rebounder for a wing.
Role-Player in 3 seasons at Virginia. Late bloomer.
Doesn’t posses standout playmaking skills.
NBA Comparison:
Anthony Morrow
Very efficient shooters who don’t need the ball in their hands to score. Offer little in terms of a ball handler and playmaker, but doesn’t turn the ball over in excess. Decent athletes.
Draft Outlook:
Mid Second-Undrafted
Ideal Fits:
Sacramento at 47 or 60:
Kings have very little established talent on the bench at 2-4 and could use a versatile shooter.
LA Clippers at 56:
Clippers have little talent on the wings and could use some more depth. Shai is a below average shooter and playing him with Shayok would help spacing.
Toronto at 59:
Toronto values versatile defenders and shooters at 2-4 and the Canada native Shayok would fit in perfectly. Shayok and Anunoby would form a solid rotation at 3-4 on the bench.
