Kylen Milton came up big all game long. The 6-4 guard runs an offense in a pinch. He’s quick enough to penetrate the paint from the pick and roll. He gets to the foul line and converts each trip at a high rate knocking down nine free throws on the night. He showed his athleticism with a huge dunk to end the game.
Ibrahima Jarjou is a physically imposing big man. Jarjou flexed his athleticism clearing any shot unlucky enough to fly past him. He blocked a dunk attempt that would have sent social media into a frenzy. He plays with a high motor and intriguing level of versatility. His jumper needs a lot of work but anyone with the physical gifts and skill he showed last night could carve out space for himself at the next level.
Nelson Mbongo is the muscle on the block. He plays as an undersized four with a high motor. All night he played as if his life depended on it. Mbongo played a versatile game taking wings and bigs both off the bounce.
iSchool’s Quevian Adger is one of Texas’ best unsigned seniors. The 6-7 forward does a bit of everything on the offensive end. His advanced self-creation skills pair well with his lethal jumper. That combination of size, 1 on 1 scoring, and shooting package will make Adger a coveted prospect come spring.
Sophomore Vincent “Cruz” Davis is finally getting the attention he deserves. Offers from high major schools haven’t led to selfish play but have emboldened him to be more assertive in the offense. We’re looking at a calm point guard who controls the game possession by possession. He shoots it, makes solid decisions, and has the length to be a formidable defender.
Matt Reed has been spectacular all season. Unlike most freshmen, Reed came into the varsity scene with the strength and size to make a way in the paint. He’s fundamentally savvy using his surprisingly quick feet to bang and spin off bigs. He was a load on the boards last night grabbing 5 offensive rebounds over an athletic Core 4 team.
Jay Wilson and poster dunks were synonymous on the night. The combo forward showed his gridiron toughness banging in the post and cramming it at the rim. He’s a fearless, strong finisher with a dirty work first mindset. This is your junkyard dog and few people will tell you differently.
