Florida State Introduces Fort Lauderdale Transfer Shon Abaev In New Get To Know Reel Florida State Men’s Basketball just dropped a “Get to Know: Shon Abaev” reel, giving Noles fans a closer look at the 6-foot-8 sophomore wing who transferred in from Cincinnati. Abaev grew up in the Fort Lauderdale area after moving from Israel at age four. He starred at Calvary Christian Academy, where he averaged 20.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists as a senior, led the team to a Florida Class 3A state championship and a No. 5 national ranking, and earned McDonald’s All-American honors as a top-30 national prospect. After a freshman season at Cincinnati (7.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 24 games), he entered the portal and committed to FSU. He is already contributing: in the Seminoles’ recent exhibition win over Auburn, Abaev scored 15 points with 8 rebounds.
