Expert Analysis
Avi Burmenko | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Shannon closed her junior season at Newman on a strong note, consistently impressing with her all-around play. She sees the floor well and threads precise passes to teammates in tight windows. Around the basket she shows good footwork, using moves like eurosteps to create clear paths to the rim. She also elevates well on drives to finish over defenders. From the perimeter she has a smooth catch-and-shoot stroke, making her a reliable scoring option.

Shannon’s quick first step allows her to blow past defenders on the perimeter, and once she gets into the paint she does a great job making smart decisions instead of forcing shots. Her combination of shooting ability and height creates tough matchups, as she can knock down mid-range jumpers and threes with confidence. She’s been a major contributor to Newman in their early-season games and continues to show how versatile her offensive game is.
