The Chronicle’s latest player profile is of freshman Jaden Schutt.
A native of Illinois, like his coach Jon Scheyer, Schutt’s last name is pronounced Shoot, which is appropriate because that’s what he does best.
Here’s part of what Mackenzie Sheehy’s take on young Schutt: “Schutt’s talents can be derived to one simple conclusion: he can shoot, and he can shoot well. Known for his stellar ability from long-range, the freshman is just as capable of driving to the hoop or moving inside the 3-point line for mid-range jumpers. His multifaceted capabilities on offense extend beyond his individual shots, as he can put the ball on the court and create opportunities for others with his off-ball movement that stretches the defense.
