Lennard’s 6’4, 185-pound 2018 PG impressed last week at the HoopSeen Atlanta Jam. He averaged 14 points and shot 50 percent from beyond the arc in guiding Seba Select to the semifinals.
He holds no offers. But his performance drew interest from USF and Western Carolina.
Clouden has an elite frame. He utilizes his muscular build to finish through contact. He can also dish the ball phenomenally while penetrating. He uses his long arms to wreak havoc in the passing lanes. He also plays receiver on the gridiron, so, he’s a heck of an athlete.
He averaged 15 points a game this year for Lennard playing on the interior out of necessity. Imagine his growth by transitioning to the guard spot over the next two seasons.
Clouden highlighted his skill set.
“I’m a physical player,” Clouden said. “I’m extremely aggressive and get those 50/50 balls. I can dish, and also shoot from the outside if defenders lay off me.”
He detailed what he’s working on this offseason.
“I’m really trying to strengthen my ball handling ability since I want to play the point at the next level,” Clouden said. “ I also want to extend the range on my jump shot,” Clouden said.
We love the upside on Clouden. His recruitment should pick up steam shortly.
