Updated on 1/23/23.  Written by Alan Lu.

Height: 6-5
Weight: 200  
College: UNLV
Classification: Sophomore
Birthdate: Unknown

Projected Draft Range: Likely Undrafted

Pros:
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate scorer off the dribble
Adequate playmaker
Decent rebounder
Adequate defender that can get steals
Solid athlete

Cons:
Needs to improve his shooting
Lacks an elite first step off the dribble
Can be too passive on offense
Can have lapses defensively
May be a bit undersized to play out on the wing
Hasn’t played much in college basketball
Has not shot the ball well at all in college basketball so far

Summary:
Shane Nowell is an athletic, energetic swingman that can make solid hustle plays on both ends of the floor.  He will need to improve his outside shot and focus defensively. He recently transferred to UNLV after not getting many minutes at Arizona as a freshman, but he hasn’t played much this year. He projects into a 3 and D role if he makes it to the NBA someday.
