Shaw scores 18 as Indiana All-Stars edge Juniors 105-100

Dikembe Shaw's 18 points lifted Indiana All-Stars past the Juniors 105-100, and the Crown Point star used a five-point win to make a summer case that reaches beyond one exhibition. In a game that stayed tight enough to feel like a real evaluation, Shaw was close enough to the center of the action to matter for both the state picture and Crown Point's outlook.

The boys Indiana All-Stars program dates to the 1939 season, and that history gives even a summer showcase some weight. This year's 13-man roster was one of the tallest in recent memory, with seven players 6-foot-7 or taller and all 13 earning college scholarships. Shaw's night came against that level of company, which makes the 18-point line more than a box-score footnote.

The 105-100 finish also said plenty about the pace. Both teams reached triple digits, a sign of a fast rhythm and enough shot-making to keep the margin in play until the end. For Shaw, a scoring output like that in this setting matters because it showed he could produce against elite peers rather than simply blend into the crowd.

That kind of performance is exactly why All-Star Week carries so much weight across Indiana. The schedule continues with the Futures Game at Fishers, and the state has already seen how one summer showing can shape reputations, from Luke Ertel's standout turn for the Junior All-Stars against Kentucky in 2025 to the broader attention now fixed on Shaw, later identified as a Crown Point star and Illinois-Chicago commit. If Crown Point is looking for a player who can raise its ceiling next season, Shaw just gave the clearest answer yet.
