Shavon is a lighting fast point guard who just finds ways to beat you. Seeing him play a couple times this year, it was evident that this kid is one of the elite point guards in Canada. His first step is very explosive, and has the athleticism to finish around the basket. Not to bad a shooter as well. Makes his teammates around him better by giving them easy shots because of his penetrating abilities.
