Larkin's Jalen Shaw Ready to Prove Himself on Bigger Stage

Share

Larkin senior big man Jalen Shaw is riding a huge wave of confidence entering this summer.

Ever since leading the Royals to a sectional title game appearance in Class 4A in March, the 6-foot-10 big man has been generating a lot of buzz for his play on the grassroots circuit.

With an emerging offensive skill level, Shaw has a chance to be an All-Area candidate this season as he might be the most talented post player in the area next season. A gifted passer for his size, Shaw is starting to adjust to constant double teams and additional attention from opposing defenses.

Shaw will get a major opportunity to test his skills against some of the nation's elite this week when he goes to Virginia to participate in the NBPA Top 100 Camp. Between the national camps and a July playing in front of college coaches, it'll be intriguing to see how Shaw plays over the next few weeks.

Larkin also has a chance to be a top-25 staple next season thanks to a solid group of returning players. Between Shaw and aggressive attacking guard Anthony Lynch, Larkin has a lot of potential scoring pop in its starting lineup and they're coming off of a surprise season in which they had a great run in the postseason.
