Shakur, who was re-classified as a junior this year, is a slinky combo guard who has seen his recruitment pick up steam over the past few months. Shakur is a very skilled ball-handler who is very quick off the dribble. He is a player who can competently man either guard spot, a legitimate combo guard who wields both playmaking skills and a reliable jumper.
Shakur impressed Rivals Hoops in June at the Rumble in the Bronx with his quickness and elusiveness, handling both guard spots with aplomb. Shakur has a slight frame, but still excels at breaking down defenders off the dribble and finding the hoop. Shakur is a pest defensively, often poking the ball loose with his quick hands. The Philadelphia native plays with a real mean streak; he means business on the floor.
