Outlook: The top player is Rieves, a versatile post player who can get buckets in the paint or beat opposing defenders off the dribble. Rieves plays with a high motor and is a very productive player as a scorer and rebounder. Wright is an athletic slashing wing guard who does a nice job of getting to the basket and scoring. Byrd is a tough combo guard who can really knock down open 3-pointers. He plays with a lot of intensity. Walker is a southpaw who provides instant offense with his ability to make open 3-pointers off the catch. He can also get to the basket off the bounce. Jones is also a quick, penetrating guard who can attack the basket. Washington is a solid post player who did a nice job as a rebounder. Most of his scoring came on offensive put-backs.
