Shavon Shields Will Need To Find Another Avenue To NBA
Shavon Shields had hoped his stint in the NBA Summer league over the last week would get him a shot at earning a spot on an NBA roster.
It turns out, his performance was likely an indicator he might need to play overseas for a while before he’s ready to play in the world’s premiere professional basketball league. Struggles to make an impact, paired with the fact he was one of a handful of players who sat out half the games means the uphill climb became even more difficult.
There wasn’t one particular game where Shields really looked like he was very comfortable or a man among boys. Both of those things are especially important when playing in this kind of an exhibition season.
