Over the spring and summer, this junior turned heads with his high energy and extraordinarily disruptive defense. The fleet-footed Shim relentlessly pursues ball carriers and then uses an incredible blend of stick work and physicality to harass them into turnovers. Shim is especially skilled at delivering timely and powerful overheads that cause turnovers. Shim also does a fantastic job of arriving early to ball carriers and dictating play with his active stick. Or he can get into the ball carrier at the start of his dodge and stop them cold. Shim’s tremendous hand-eye coordination and aggressive stick allow him to snare ground balls in traffic or the open field. He can then use his explosive speed to sprint upfield and create a transition opportunity. Or he can roll to open space and deliver a pass to the open teammate. Around the cage, Shim is an excellent team defender whose sides and doubles are always on time.
