Skilled, smart, efficient & well coached. Bound to blow-up this spring. Good size on perimeter, knockdown stroke, high level passer & outstanding feel for the game. Big guard who can make plays & create off the dribble. Not a great shooter but ceiling is very high. 4-man extending game to perimeter & becoming inside-out threat while remaining efficient; not great athlete or finisher in traffic. Poor man's Bonzie Colson; undersized 4 with long arms, high intellect & intangibles; ultra-efficient from 16 feet & in. Undersized but highly athletic 4 who stopped growing at early age so some of early recruitment might not hold up. Shooter with unorthodox (& sometimes slow) release but consistent from low range, tough & smart; limited athlete; ACADEMICS Little more of an unknown; had big performance at Nike Global Challenge last summer. Big wing, shoots it, marginal athlete. Undersized combo attacks off the bounce, defends, makes pull-ups & provides toughness. Plays mostly under rim & not great 3pt. Has speed & quickness with ball, doesn't shoot it great but ends up being volume guy with ball in his hands, suspect defensively. High level athlete with high character & great motor. Doesn't shoot it especially well, also stars on the gridiron. [email protected] April 10-12: EYBL I (Hampton, VA) April 24-26: EYBL II (Lexington, KY) Unsigned senior prepping at Phillips Exeter; catch-and-shoot specialist from behind 3pt line; average athlete. Athletic 2G projects as high level defender & secondary scoring threat at HM level. Will consider '15 if he gets test score. Great frame & physical upside, touch off glass & to arc, moves fine but concerns remain about toughness & motor. Played through tore meniscus through January but now expected back for live period; rugged big can bang, rebound & score inside. Well built & pretty athletic; good (versatile) defender & willing to do little things but offense is limited, especially on the perimeter. Still out with shoulder injury that cost him JR season; not ton of individual offense but runs show & full of intangibles; ACADEMICS Jake's younger brother doesn't have quite the same upside but still solid athlete who can make shots on the wing. Big PG, distributes ball & runs show, very good defender, goes to the rim well too but not a good shooter; ACADEMICS Southpaw scoring G doesn't look the part yet (still very lean) but can get his own shot against high level. Needs to become true PG. Versatile utility player. Others rave of value but haven't seen it yet. Lacks true position & has no dynamic weapons. ACADEMICS April 10-12: UAA I (New Orleans, LA) April 24-26: UAA II (Louisville, KY) Long & explosive guard, one of nation's best in the open floor, jumper becoming more consist part of arsenal, has some PG skills too. Have historically liked this guy more than most; big guard, long arms, playmaking instinct, definite upside, just lacks jumper. Powerful & aggressive wing gets down hill in a hurry & goes through contact; won't play 1st weekend of live period. Power lefty wing with bully straight line driving game. Jumper only now starting to make some progress. Tough. Good student. Academic big man was under-whelming last week. Lacks athleticism & any type of cut to his frame; can score some around rim. Utility guard solid but unspectacular. Capable 3pt threat, better mid-range shooter & heady defender. Thought just short of LM. Fairly versatile big/strong guard. Shoots pretty good ball from 3, solid secondary ball-handler & good vision. Lacks true explosion. Pretty athletic with good build, steady dose of D1 interest but no offers yet; skill set & offensive game still work in progress [email protected] April 10-12: UAA I (New Orleans, LA) April 24-26: UAA II (Louisville, KY) Wide-bodied 4 has improved conditioning & shooting range alike; can be a load to score with his back to the basket too. Highly athletic 4 working hard to develop skill but still far and away at his best running, jumping, blocking shots, dunking & rebouding. Undersized lead guard with scorer's mentality. Shoots it very well & uses threat of jumper as basis for attack. Maximizing ability. High level athlete on wing, lefty with good size, can make an open 3 but just a straight line driver. Reportedly recruited at high level. Physically talented big man has broad frame & good athleticism for size; yet to see skill or polish to offensive game. Undersized scoring guard, not yet a true point but can make shots & has some quickness in open space. Power player on perimeter. Had a good buzz about him last summer but has fallen off some. Interested to see how game has evolved. Good sized guard with lot of speed with ball in his hands; slings stroke little bit but not incapable; said to be good student. April 10-12: Adidas Gauntlet I (Dallas, TX) April 24-26: Adidas Gauntlet II (Indianapolis, IN) PG sets the tone for this club. Small but dependable with ball, able to creat & shoots. Early Maryland pledge. Unsigned senior reportedly prepping next year; long with some touch & developing finesse game. Recruitment surged to HM level in fall but have personally yet to see production or potential to warrant that. High volume rebounder. Lefty combo in midst of transitioning from 2 to 1 but not yet pure. Good (not great) shooter, can make a play. Solid student. Makes tough shots but not the pure marksmen advertised. Might be better handler/passer than he gets credit for. Defends 3 or 4? Hasn't lived up to early hype but still long, athletic & mobile with definite upside. Needs muscle & maturity in overall floor game. Thought he was sleeper when last saw him. Late bloomer, grew 3 inches last year, becoming true big wing with various tools.

Liked his vision & unselfishness too. Son of former NBA player Gheorghe Muresan is young for grade. Different body type & agility than his dad but could still be growing. Had big rep as youngster but was early bloomer; undersized big now with good post moves; reportedly stretching range to 3pt line. High level athlete more 4 than 3 but skill set still just a work in progress; played consistent rotation minutes this year. Interesting one because had multiple early D1 offers then didn't really play this season & so most suitors have fallen off. [email protected] April 10-12: EYBL I (Hampton, VA) April 24-26: EYBL II (Lexington, KY) Powerful & athletic in traffic. High volume rebounder but motor is inconsistent, offensive game is limited & hands are suspect. Southpaw scorer on the wing. Limited athlete but game has improved this year. Makes 3's, pull-ups & gets to rim more than expected. Southpaw PG has lot of speed with the ball & can make plays off the bounce but still TO prone & not a consistent shooter. Skilled 4 shoots the ball with range, can handle & pass as well but motor is a major concern as is lack of experience vs. competition. Powerful lefty guard has bounced around schools & reportedly might have left St. Pat's but new school still unknown. Strong body & consistent shot-maker but thicker build & no real natural position. NY native a virtual unknown. Playmaking G had a strong season but yet to prove it at quality level. Young big is exceptional long-term talent. Runs like deer, athletic, agile & foundation of skill to his game as well. Scoring wing puts points on board from variety of different spots on floor, especially for a youngster, learning to play within flow more. Smooth & athletic in open space but not nearly as quick laterally. Not a natural alpha dog type scorer or playmaker. [email protected] April 10-12: Spring Jam Fest (Manheim, PA) April 24-26: Pitt Jam Fest (Pitsburgh, PA) Unsigned senior reportedly set to prep at Hill after disappointing senior season. Lithuanian import pretty skilled, smart & crafty. Perimeter 4 shoots it very well but also a very good ball-handler & passer as well. Limited natural athlete. Athletic wing hasn't improved enough in last year to sustain previous HM interest but has upside as slasher & defender. Long & lean with a skill set & consistent 3pt range. Has a chance to develop into nice player. Good student. Not a great natural athlete but good 3pt shooter, super tough & very smart - just what you would expect from coach's son. Good student. Intriguing prospect who is long/lean, long way from finished product physically & has quick first step, handle, & skill set. Good student. Solid PG, dependable with the ball but lacks physical tools for D1 level & not yet a consistent perimeter shooter. Sophomore wing started to play up at u17 last year. Good foundation of perimeter size & skill set to build off of. [email protected] April 10-12: Adidas Gauntlet I (Dallas, TX) April 24-26: Adidas Gauntlet II (Indianapolis, IN) Both his game & his body continue to improve. Long & skilled with inside-out tools. Expecting break-out spring. Strong body & athletic for his size. Offensive game needs polish but motor is undeniably improved. Academic concerns. Stocky scoring wing puts points up from behind 3, in open floor or even in mid-post area. Powerful wing with long arms. Been to 4 HS's & recruitment vastly exaggerated online but undeniably talented with upside. Improved by leaps & bounds in last couple of years. Soft touch both with back to basket & even facing basket out to arc. Self-made player, not naturally explosive but true PG, sees floor & moves ball, skilled with ball, can shoot it & handle it. Long & athletic lefty. Not refined in a half-court game or especially skilled on perimeter but plays hard, very active & good in transition. 4-man with solid build has continued to develop skill & become more of a 3pt weapon. Could come out this year & might after April. Young PG with a natural instinct for making plays off the dribble; just comes easy to him; needs to become better 3pt shooter. Young sophomore continues to grow. Long, mobile, athletic & raw. Just scratching surface of potential but has high ceiling. Long lefty combo-forward, pretty good athlete, good (& versatile) defender, needs to keep developing offensively. [email protected] April 10-12: Adidas Gauntlet I (Dallas, TX) April 24-26: Adidas Gauntlet II (Indianapolis, IN) Great mid-range jump-shooter & improved low post scorer. Gotten relatively stronger & more athletic. Good student. Rating is based on anticipated move back to '17 class; potential big PG with playmaking instincts. Coming on quickly now. California native, true center, had been little out of shape this season & didn't make much impact but good 1st AAU weekend. Super tough & very smart but not a PG or great shooter; stock come back down in last year & has lost confidence in process. ACAD. Shot-maker with good size on the wing; didn't play much in 1st weekend with this group so will be interesting to see how year goes. Versatile wing, quiet but not soft, just goes about his business. Solid athlete, can make 3, good pull-up game. Good student too. Undersized post, not a great athlete or overly physical but has some tools on block. Probably won't play too much here. Last of the Murphy brothers. Skilled on the interior with soft touch, dexterity & footwork; developing face-up game. Scoring PG has high level talent & playmaking instincts but obviously undersized & not always efficient. Old for grade & maturity comes through on court. Didn't produce like expected this season though & more 4 than 3 despite best efforts. [email protected] April 10-12: Adidas Gauntlet I (Dallas, TX) April 24-26: Adidas Gauntlet II (Indianapolis, IN) Explosive athlete just learning game/developing skill. Playing down a level as he'll reportedly prep back to '17 next year. Hard-nosed combo with chip on his shoulder; expected to repeat back to '17; never played vs. competition before. Big wing who can shoot it from the 3pt line. Missed first tournament of year with injury but expected to be back for live period. Great size & even better length on the wing; lots of raw talent but motor & toughness both need to increase. Probably doesn't have the physical tools to ever be a D1 player but valuable here because he's true PG - smart & dependable with ball. Not sure how much more he'll grow but he's a horse inside; tough & powerful, able to turn both shoulders & a high volume rebounder. Man among boys in his age group but might already be done growing & maxed out physically so game will need to evolve. Good shoot with nice size at the SG position but also has a good overall feel for the game & ability to make decisions.

[email protected] April 10-12: UAA I (New Orleans, LA) April 24-26: UAA II (Louisville, KY) Unsigned forward, good defender & improved shooter but more 4 than 3. Might be farther away from qualifying than initially expected. Fast with ball & extra gear to him off the dribble. Making more 3's but never liked his mechanics. Up & down transition player. Lefty wing with good toughness, pretty strong body & solid athleticism. Volume 3pt shooter & needs to improve right hand. Shooter with deep range & deceptive I.Q. but rigid athlete lacks lateral quickness & plays on new team every year. True PG. Skinny but long. Quick & dependable with ball. Can get in lane or move it around perimeter. Not a great shooter or student. Good student who has intriguing upside in academic leagues because he's extremely long & pretty quick. Still learning game. Undersized big, strong & athletic, mostly catch-and-finish game with nothing else refined offensively. Can blk some shots & reb too. Athletic & quick lefty, covers the court, good in open floor, right hand good too but never developed skill or I.Q. Well built 2 guard can elevate through contact off 1 or 2 feet. Jump shot looks noticeably improved as well. High level athlete with gradually developing skill. Mother just passed away & so might not be ready for first week of April. [email protected] April 10-12: EYBL I (Hampton, VA) April 24-26: EYBL II (Lexington, KY) Unsigned senior, young for grade & planning to prep at St. Andrew's (RI); motor needs to improve to maximize tools. Another unsigned senior hoping to be cleared for EYBL; hard-nosed, tough, defender, driver but prep destination still TBD. Quick, tough & scrappy. Good defender who will get chance to be primary offensive option for first time at high level of competition. Love this guy - excellent student,hard-worker, top-notch defender, 6'9 wingspan, athletic with driving tools & improving jumper. Long, cut-up & athletic around rim with shooting touch that extends to perimeter. Mobility still not quite where it was before injury. Undersized & un-athletic but one of best pure shooters around with deep range. Out of eligibility in NJ so likely to transfer. Long, athletic, quick off his feet & plenty tough. Literally ambidextrous & learning to shoot with left hand outside the paint. True post with powerful body (broad from head to toe), hard to move inside paint, pivots through contact & rebounds with 2 hands. Strong combo-guard, plays physical style & has scoring mentality but decision making has historically been biggest concern. [email protected] April 10-12: Adidas Gauntlet I (Dallas, TX) April 24-26: Adidas Gauntlet II (Indianapolis, IN) Incredible passer with terrific I.Q. & feel for the game. Undersized but broad (250 lbs) PF. Will prep before heading to Iona in '16. Rugged lefty wing has a reputation for being physical & playing hard. Perimeter skill improved too. Pledged to Pitt last year. Unsigned lefty 4-man is strong, cut-up & extremely athletic but reportedly has almost no chance to qualify. Well built wing with versatile scoring game; can be streaky but when he's got it going there are few better. Scoring G coming off breakout year. Much improved in almost all aspects of game. Will get chance to play PG here. Long lefty wing with good size on perimeter. Consistent 3pt threat with floaters & pull-ups alike in mid-range area. Lefty wing, pretty good size, little upright but still pretty athletic. 1 or 2 bounce straight line driver & not incapable with jumper. Quick combo, good to both sides off the bounce & valuable defender. Not a great shooter & must prove he can be PG. Under the radar. Undersized big with strong body, plays above rim in traffic, said to be super high character & good academically. Undersized but stronger combo-forward. Outstanding defender but needs to establish offensive identity. Good student. Energy giver with definite leadership skills. Creates tempo, shifty with ball, better pull-up shooter than 3. [email protected] April 10-12: EYBL I (Hampton, VA) April 24-26: EYBL II (Lexington, KY) Looked like he was starting to figure it out last spring/summer but didn't play quite as much as hoped during high school season. Undersized scoring G coming off breakout junior season. Lefty makes 3's in bunches, quick with ball & has a rhythm to his game. Still very raw & limited offensively but strong, cut-up, super long, physical & great motor so might get over-recruited. Improved significantly since last season, especially with skill & jumper. True wing now with some legit guard skills & still strong/athletic. Undersized bulldog playmaker with strong core; quick with a tight handle but ball-dominant & not always efficient. Power wing is strong & tough; goes through contact to rim, has good pull-up game, little less consistent from 3pt. Physical, tough, rugged & strong on perimeter. Seeks out contact & drives through it. Has a pull-up too & can play PG in a pinch. Undersized but powerful wing. Relentlessly attacks the rim like bull in china shop. Doesn't finish quite as well as expected. Undersized southpaw is power player inside who has been trying to extend game to perimeter for last few years Big wing with good skill set. Can handle & make tough shots but not yet efficient & not a great athlete either. [email protected] April 10-12: UAA I (New Orleans, LA) April 24-26: UAA II (Louisville, KY) Unsigned senior already qualified & holding D1 offers but reportedly pondering prep school. Talented but lazy. Unsigned senior planning to prep at Suffield Academy; haven't seen him much but said to be sneaky athlete, smart & fairly versatile. Beast inside the lane. Strong, aggressive & athletic with top notch motor and plenty of room on his frame to add more muscle. Not the big PG he thinks just yet but intent to keep trying. Strong body, good defensive tools & gradually improving jumper. Shot-maker with long arms, drills high arcing 3's & attacks close-outs but can't otherwise create own shot & limited defensively. Shooter with a frame that has matured quite a bit in the last year. Could become popular name this spring. Athleticism had been foundation of game for long time but vastly improved in last year (especially jump shot). Good student. Powerful & athletic inside. Has big, broad shoulders and can elevate in traffic. Tries to do too much on perimeter. Good student. Needs core strength in the worst way but intriguing prospect because of size & touch that extends out to 3pt line. Said to be an under the radar sleeper playing in small NY league. Crafty playmaking PG changes speeds & has old-school feel. Big 2G loaded with talent. Athletic, smooth & instinctive attacking the basket & making plays. Needs to learn to play in structure.

Backed it up with strong HS season & now still available. Unsigned senior; certainly looks the part with great body & solid athleticism but impact always lagged behind. Another available big, unsure of his academic status but lefty has pretty soft touch & passing instinct but not much athleticism. Long & skilled perimeter forward; decent athlete too but doesn't like contact & only gradually getting tougher. Big lefty wing. Pretty skilled; can shoot it with range & put it on the floor but has sense of entitlement about him. Undersized but starting to fill out broad shoulders; true PG has a handle, good use of left hand & speed with the ball. Had a bigger rep early in his career because he was strong for age & able to overpower players. Unlikely to reach D1 level. Athletic & strong scorer. Attacks the rim & has clean 3pt stroke in rhythm but not sure he has too much upside left. [email protected] April 10-12: EYBL I (Hampton, VA) April 24-26: EYBL II (Lexington, KY) Top 25 national prospect; skilled inside & out, great hands, deceptive bounce, range to 3, naturally wider frame. NOVA. Skilled & cerebral big guard has continued to grow; projects as PG at next level but will be secondary ball-handler here. UVA Pure PG & true floor general; high I.Q. & skill level; undersized & plays under the rim but efficient with leadership. Good student. May still reclass to '15 but will play out AAU season before deciding; undersized big with great length & super quick bounce. Intriguing wing with physical upside; jumper continues to improve & 1st step off catch is both long & quick; could stand to get tougher. Plays with chip on his shoulder but learning to control emotions. Shoots it well from 3, not bad off bounce & really competes. Highest level athlete is absolutely explosive; plays way above rim. Not a good shooter, can't play the PG & doesn't defend. Big body but pretty raw with slower instincts. Reported recruitment is likely far exageration from reality. Scoring wing; athletic in open floor, scores over people in mid-range & streaky 3. Needs ball in hands & plays upright. Wide-bodied true post player; operates with back to basket. Can make elbow jumper & really pass within flow of offense. [email protected] April 10-12: EYBL I (Hampton, VA) April 24-26: Spring Takeover (Louisville, KY) Long & lean wing; reclassifying at Suffield Academy next season, said to shoot it; saw a hint of passing instinct as well Highest level prospect with massive raw talent; length, athleticism & agility off charts; not totally unskilled; motor coming with maturity Wing with great size & better length. Athletic & rangy covering the court. Lot of defensive upside, best offense comes in open floor. Not much physical upside left (already strong & athletic) but continues to add new dimensions to skill set & floor game. Long, athletic & super cut-up. Played HS basketball in FL & was injured day we watched practice but historically been a motor guy. Recent growth spurt has increased his upside. Long & lanky right now; still has to grow into body but has a stroke to build off of. Undersized but strong PG very solid & dependable. Reminds me little bit of former URI/Hofstra PG Steve Mejia. Still skinny & frail but has put up big scoring #s in first half of HS career & has long limbs to grow into frame. Has D1 tool set with long arms, solid build & athleticism. Has touch of skill but tries to do too much at times. Strong & pretty bulky wing; shoots it well from 3pt line but looks like he's already maxed out physically & might have little upside. Big name in the city; gets to the rim as well as anyone but old for his age, not a great shooter or true PG [email protected] April 10-12: UAA I (New Orleans, LA) April 24-26: UAA II (Louisville, KY) Unsigned senior big man reportedly prepping. Long, mobile, athletic & deceptively strong but defense far ahead of offense. Playmaking guard with lot of burst of the bounce & at the rim. Not a bad shooter either just needs to be more efficient. Long & lean wing with nice skill set & good athleticism off 2 feet; will get his first taste of high level competition. Still hasn't put all the pieces together but has size, good feet & athleticism for size. Still soft & limited offensively though. Coming off breakout junior season. Has toughness & a motor. Plays inside in HS but will look to stretch game here. Good student. Lefty gotten stronger & more athletic in last year. Sees court, makes plays & makes some shots with deep range. Potential big PG. Celebrated young talent but early bloomer without much physical upside & no real position. Don't think his game translates well. Highest level pure talent. Has build, athleticism, agility & exceptional handle/playmaking skills. Jumper needs to come along. [email protected] April 10-12: EYBL I (Hampton, VA) April 24-26: EYBL II (Lexington, KY) Big wing with size, strength, length & solid athleticism. Skill set (especially jumper) continues to improve. Recruited at highest level. True PG has continued to grow & now has great size to match vision & command for position. Could blow-up this spring. Early bloomer has been big name since he was younger; game based on power & aggressiveness; needs to develop skill. Academic big man with inside-out tools. Going to start here so will be interesting to see if he can keep up with higher level athletes. Explosive athlete with good motor. Outstanding finisher, covers court, defends & attacks but not a great shooter. Big & long, been pleasant surprise with this group in last few weeks, rebounding ball well, good student too. Undersized PG handles on string, has presence/playmaking instinct with ball, passes both hands. Suspect J & productivity in lane. Slender combo-guard can handle, make some plays & shoot it pretty well. Will play mostly off ball here though. Good student. Not a D1 player at 1st glance; stocky build, not great athlete, far more 2 than 1 but 3pt specialist with pure stroke. Good student. Ideal role player in 1st year with club. Thick & tough inside, has big hands, catches everything & plays very hard. Big playmaking guard continues to improve at rapid rate. Smooth with good instincts plus size, length, speed & athleticism. April 10-12: EYBL I (Hampton, VA) April 24-26: EYBL II (Lexington, KY) Made recent pledge to Pittsburgh; wider built 4 who has gotten into better shape & continued to develop face-up game on perimeter. Big wing loaded with athleticism and talent; has a chance to be as good as he wants to be but motor can be inconsistent. Incredible physical talent - super long, explosive athlete, great mobility/agility & not totally unskilled either.

Old school PF or undersized 5-man. Long wing hasn't progressed as hoped. Volume shooter & not always efficient but deceptively good passer with good basketball body. Tough & strong on the interior, much improved standstill shooter from the 3pt line. Good student. Basketball or football? Puts up numbers in HS but complimentary piece here. Strong body, marginal athlete, consistent open shooter. Good student. Power guard coming off big HS season will miss April after knee procedure; expected back in 6 weeks. Combines great length, athleticism & core strength with good size on wing. Mid-range game is calling card. Handle developing too. Lefty point guard does everything but shoot at this point - distributes, defends, attacks, creates pace, leads. Good student too. Super undersized playmaking guard exception to every rule about size. Handles, creates & scores with flair for the game. April 10-12: EYBL I (Hampton, VA) April 24-26: Spring Takeover (Louisville, KY) Long build with unorthodox body; needs strength in lower body & core. Handles well for age/size & athletic in open court. Long & athletic wing with obvious physical upside. Shows flashes of handle, footwork & passing. Working to develop stroke. Skilled big has some poise & dexterity in post & can step-out & shoot some too; hoping mobility/athleticism improve with age. Southpaw combo-guard originally from Sweden; quick & strong with vision off the dribble, can make shots too, adjusting to US game. Raw right now but explosive athlete on the wing with a ton of upside; tools to be great defender & stroke isn't that bad. Wide-bodied young big with soft touch & some inside-out skill; has shed some baby fat & must continue to condition. High level athlete whose skill set & feel for game are gradually developing but still far behind. Saw limited minutes off the bench this year; strong & physical, runs well when he wants to, offense still developing. Played on u15 B team (Orange) last year & didn't see consistent minutes at DeMatha; strong lefty with smooth stroke Haven't seen as much of him as others but thicker built 4 might have hard time earning playing time with talented group. Another call up from last year's 15 Orange team but coming off big high school season; scoring G was 1st team all-conference Playmaking young guard plays with toughness & a chip on his shoulder. Not sure how much physical upside he has left. [email protected] April 10-12: Adidas Gauntlet I (Dallas, TX) April 24-26: Adidas Gauntlet II (Indianapolis, IN) Late blooming big man made notable progress since last summer & now could be heading to Phelps for post-grad year. Can be both quick & shifty off the bounce but gets out of control at times & must shoot the ball more consistently. Had breakout junior season after transferring from MLK but still under radar. Athletic in open floor & can make shots. Small & quick playmaking guard has frame to grow into with long arms & pretty broad shoulders. Prototypical dancing bear; undersized big, 250 lbs but very agile with good feet. Can score & rebound in paint but fatigues easily. Another guy coming off big season. Shot-maker on the wing but also has some toughness & I.Q. about him. Good student. [email protected] April 10-12: UAA I (New Orleans, LA) April 24-26 UAA II (Louisville, KY) Not just a big body but also strong, athletic & mobile - full complement of physical tools at his disposal. Good as he wants to be. Long & lean lefty with ton of upside. Really covers court, smooth athlete, gets hands on lot of balls & has touch to arc. Defense still far ahead of offense but knows who he is & embraces it (calls himself a center). Runs, rebounds, blocks shots & finishes. Rugged wing with good size, strong body, long arms & increasingly powerful build. Drives & defends but doesn't shoot. Excellent student who reportedly has high test score too. Young for his grade, potentially still growing & improving quickly. Smooth & skilled guard who can really shoot it. Hasn't grown into frame yet & doesn't have much natural explosion. Haven't seen as much of this guy yet but gotten stronger, might have grown another inch & said to be tough/rugged around paint. Undersized wing with thick & powerful build. Makes straight line bully drives through traffic & plays strong with ball. Unlikely D1 player. Slashing playmaker with good size & ton of burst off the bounce. Consistent jumper away from being full package offensively. Playmaking instincts are second to known. Has leaned out previously stocky build & can make plays for self & others on demand.
