On their wings, they’ll have Logan Phillips and Osasere Ighodaro. Both of those guys have tremendous size for a wing and are ridiculously athletic. They are a point guards dream when pushing the ball in transition and looking down the court. This team should have easy scoring the ball down low and collecting a ton of rebounds as well. Dre Henry, Anthony Garza, and Hunter Ruck are all very solid bigs that collect a ton of boards. This is going to create a lot of shooting opportunities for this team and this team has some of the best shooters in the state.
The guards on this team are unreal and all can score in a hurry. Kiimani Holt is an athletic freak and has a big frame, making it hard to stop him from scoring at the basket. Evan Nelson and Tay Boothman have a combination of skills that allow them to score from deep and get to the basket. I think Nelson, Boothman, and Holt play the 2 for this squad while Trent Brown and Brycen Long run the point. Trent Brown and Brycen Long are both very smart players and terrific passers. Additionally, Brown might have the sweetest shooting stroke in the state.
