Truly playing above her age from a standpoint of selflessness and reactionary timing, there are few freshman guards who bring her pedigree on both ends of the floor. She keeps her head on a swivel on the defensive end, rarely allowing backdoor cuts from her end. Although typically used as an off-ball scoring threat, Shumpert has proven especially efficient hitting corner threes.
