Electrifying men's basketball forward known as the 'Edmonton Elevator' for his signature dunks
After a tremendous season that saw him take yet another major leap forward, University of Northern British Columbia Men’s Basketball forward Fareed Shittu has been named a 2022-2023 Canada West All-Star.
“We are incredibly proud of Fareed. Being named an All-Star is a major accomplishment for him and it’s big for the program,” said UNBC coach Todd Jordan. “It shows that we have an environment here where players can thrive and develop as both people and student-athletes. This is something we take a lot of pride in, and Fareed has been committed and all-in as a Timberwolf since the day he committed to our program.
Last season, Shittu registered 17 assists; a number he more than doubled this year with 39. In 2021-2022, he went 63/135 from the field, good for 46.7 per cent, while going 4/19 from beyond the arc for a 21.1 per cent clip. This year, the third-year went 109/207 from the field for a 52.7 per cent rate, and shot 21/54 from long-range, making 38.9 per cent of his looks from three-point land.
Timberwolves fans have grown accustomed to Shittu throwing down his signature dunks, electrifying the crowds at the Northern Sport Centre and striking fear into opposing rim protectors. In fact, the man known as the “Edmonton Elevator” led the conference in dunks for the second consecutive season.
