STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • decent length. Standing at 6’10. Runs the floor quite well
  • stretches the floor. Pretty much polished shooting form. Good target for pick and pop type of plays
  • has a very good understanding of the game for a player his age
  • not overly wide bodied but possess ability to set useful screens
  • good rebounding instincts. Always boxes out his opponent
  • good non dunk finisher. Finds good angles off the glass. Uses his weaker left hand with equal success
  • shows great awareness. Knows how to play and makes an impact off the ball 
  • good physical profile but nothing exceptional. Not bouncy or explosive at all
  • needs to add some at least straight line driving ability to have more space to get the shot off
  • has defensive potential but doesn’t always sit in a good stance. Allows penetration to the middle
OUTLOOK
Shashkov is a fairly skilled big man with interesting history as he currently plays for the second season in Slovenia for Helios Domzale. Meanwhile during his short career he also had a few month episode in Ukraine which is pretty rare for Russian players as they don’t often play outside of their country. Alexander easily excels as a Center at youth level but could add some more power forward skills to fit the mold of the modern basketball better as he seems to already have a makings of that kind of player.
