Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Shead began his high school career at John B. Connally in Texas and later transferred to Manor High School. As a junior, Shead led his team to the state tournament for the first time in school history, earning District 18-5A Most Valuable Player honors. As a senior, he helped Manor win the District 18-5A title. Considered a three-star prospect by 247Sports, Shead committed to play college basketball for Houston. While Shead received limited playing time as a freshman, he made 32 starts as a sophomore and was named to the All-AAC Third Team. The following year, the 6-foot guard was named to the All-AAC Second Team and earned AAC Defensive Player of the Year honors. As a senior, Shead averaged 12.9 points, 6.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 31.1 minutes across 37 appearances. For his efforts, he was named the Big 12 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player to win both awards in the same season. Shead's biggest strength is his standout perimeter defense. The 6-foot guard is adept at navigating screens, keeping opponents in front of him, and forcing turnovers through jumping passing lanes and maintaining active hands. Shead is also a good playmaker, able to find teammates all over the court as a primary ball-handler. Shead's game is reminiscent of Tre Jones and Kris Dunn due to his elite perimeter defense combined with the ability to create open shots for teammates. Shead's skillset could allow him to develop into a quality backup point at the next level who can fit seamlessly alongside volume scorers.

Hands out nine dimes off bench
GToronto Raptors
April 5, 2025
Shead provided 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, nine assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 117-105 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Shead didn't start Friday's loss, as Immanuel Quickley was in the starting lineup, but that didn't prevent the former Houston standout from making an impact on offense when he was on the court. This was Shead's sixth game with at least nine assists as a rookie, and he's already dished out the second-most assists as a first-year player in franchise history, according to Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun. Shead is ending the campaign on a strong note, considering his role. He's averaging 11.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game over his last 10 appearances (four starts).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could crack rotation
GToronto Raptors
October 18, 2024
Shead has a chance to crack the Raptors' rotation for the 2024-25 Opening Night, according to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors' head coach, Darko Rajakovic, talked to the media earlier this week regarding the team's point guard depth, and it seems his comments suggest Shead may start the season as the third-stringer, not part of the regular rotation. However, Shead has turned heads with his play in the preseason, and it shouldn't be long before he cracks Toronto's regular rotation, possibly at some point during his rookie campaign.
