Recent stories:

Greene's Take: After missing a year while recovering from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, Shaw will bring the ability to spread out a defense. He has a nice set of inside moves and showed increased toughness and intensity on the practice floor last year, while he's able to step out and has a quick release with his 3-point shot. At 6-foot-8, he doesn't need a whole lot of time or space to use his quick release with his jumper. Still, UNLV needs consistent rebounding from its big men, so that will be the focus for the junior.
