It’s a guard combo

But let’s analyze how it plays Shaking. THE Shaking constitutes a combo guard (plays both guard positions with equal ease), 183cm tall.

The main feature of his game is obviously speed. THE American He is a very fast point guard, with a “1 against 1” capacity, where taking a screen from the center of the team, he has the ability to penetrate the basket and finish the phase with both his right and left hands.

Obviously his speed helps him in situations too. transition, where anyone will end the phase with coast to coast drive, or will look for a quick transition pass to execute the surprise quickly.

Another feature of your game that you need to refer to is shooting. THE Shaking is it so spot shooter, as much as catch and shootwhile you can also perform after dribbling with the opposite hand, thus finding the proper balance in the air for the execution.

He is both a threat from the triple and from a medium distance where he likes to shoot after pick up and roll. As for assists, the short guard knows him quite a bit. PnR, know when to go to the center, something that would help to work with him George Papagiannis, which is the “giant” of the “green” racket. He also uses his speed to pass a free agent when trying driveeither in the center or on the periphery to find a free partner for a shot.

Euroleague 36.5 33 95 2.0 1.5 0.4 7.5
Would be a 42 42 85 3.7 1.2 1.7 13.8

Opinion “All green”

Undoubtedly, the Shaking is an attacker combined guard, which will offer points in both transition, as well as in situations pick up and roll but also 1vs1. However, it will be interesting to see how George Vovoras will “marry” him Pierre jackson, since the two are guards with similar elements.
