What Will Kimario Sherman Bring At South Florida
Scouting Report on Kimario Sherman: Sherman is an excellent rim-runner where he brings more than just his raw stature on the court. He looks to establish himself as a traditional back-to-the-basket type player who has become more comfortable in shooting in the mid-range.
On the defensive end, he is valuable where he can guard multiple positions, altering shots on all three scoring levels with his length, and has a strong understanding of floor spacing. He displays great body positioning and generally plays with a high motor, with the ability to push the tempo off of rebounds. He uses his size and strength on offense to his advantage, catching lobs thrown his way and finishing effectively around the rim.
Overall, Sherman is projected to be a multi-year player at the collegiate level as he continues to develop. He can fill up multiple roles and play in any defensive scheme.
