Continue ReadingThe upcoming crop of freshman has a chance to be one of the best classes in recent memory. While many of the big names weren’t at the EBO Big Showdown, the depth of the class was on display. Here is the second of two reports on standouts in the 2023 class.
EBO Big Showdown: 2023 Standouts, Part 2
Ladanian Streets, 5-11 G, EBO
A combo guard out of the Fresno area, Streets has nice length, high hips and looks like he’s going to grow. Coming off of ball screens, Streets is looking to pull-up from three, where he has a nice, crisp release. He also shoots it well off the catch. Streets also gives a nice effort on the defensive end.
Jace Peterson, 6-3 W, Green Tide
Peterson looks like a big-time talent out of the small Central Valley town of Kingsburg. He is a long, big wing with good ball skills, long strides in transition and good finishing ability. If he keeps growing, which looks likely, and tightens his handle he could be a very nice prospect.
Thomas Fleming, 5-9 G, Gamepoint Elite
Fleming has a long, lanky frame and shoots it with confidence and range. Looks like he isn’t done growing, either.
KJ Chatham, 5-10 PG, Coastal Elite
A strapping frame with solid ball skills, Chatham is a tough, physical point guard. He’s not a burner by any stretch, but he has enough quickness to get into the lane, and is strong enough to finish through contact. Chatham is also a top football prospect.
Derrius Carter-Hollinger, 6-2 W, SD Republic
Long, athletic and versatile, Carter-Hollinger does most of his damage off of short drives, where he finishes around the basket or draws fouls at a high rate. A very good rebounder on both ends, the youngest of the Carter-Hollingers can push it in transition and make plays or score it himself.
Steve Pangilinan, 5-9 PG, SD Republic
A flashy point guard with crafty handles and a flair for the highlight. Pangilinan is solid off of ball screens and can shoot it, although he can be streaky with the jump shot.
Naasik Taylor, 5-6 PG, Gamepoint Elite
A shifty lefty with a eye for buckets, Taylor got into the paint pretty much at will and scored around the basket. He needs to improve his feel (forces his own offense at times), and defensively needs to move better laterally, but the talent is there.
