I’m learning about this year’s basketball team at basically the same time all of you do, but something that’s quietly impressed me about this team as I’m doing write-ups on the five-man freshman class is that for the most part, Vanderbilt doesn’t need any of these guys right away.
Case in point: Noah Shelby is a talented combo guard. He was ranked #86 in the Rivals 150 and #117 on 247 Sports, he can play the point and appears to have a good jump shot, and while he’s a bit undersized to play the two-guard in the SEC at 6’3” and 180 pounds, he can probably handle it.
