Cincinnati Bearcats true freshman Shon Abaev is one of the top freshman prospects in all of college basketball and is already being noticed by several NBA scouts.
In an X post by BrianJNBA and many others, Abaev has appeared as a late first-round, early second-round talent. In this specific post below, Abaev comes in a No. 30 surrounded by some big-name players like Cayden Boozer, Tahaad Pettiford, and Alex Condon.
Standing at 6-foot-7, Abaev is a gifted wing scorer who can be the best shooter on the court at any given point. His size and skill set are the exact things that NBA teams look for when scouting players: a tall wing who can space the floor and not be a liability on defense.
