The teams include Coppell, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Marcus, MacArthur, Hebron, Nimitz, and Irving. Be on the lookout for the rest of my scouting report on this entire district!
Xavian Beene- Irving High School
Xavian is a good off the dribble shooter with an ability to run an entire offense. He has the playmaking ability and ball skills to beat even elite defenders off the dribble and get to the rim. When he feels the defense collapse on him, he can get passes out to his open shooters. He is a long athletic player who is able to affect the game in a multitude of ways. He should continue to develop very well, and I am excited to see how he continues to fill into his long frame and athletic ability.
Hayden Lacy- Flower Mound High School
Hayden is a lanky wing who plays incredibly hard on both ends of the floor and effects the game in a multitude of ways. He has great instincts while driving and gets to the rim with ease. I would like to see more work on his handle and better decision making when getting to his favorite spots in the half-court. His on-ball defense is second to none, he has quick feet that allow him to stay in front of the ball and active hands that have a knack for getting to the ball. His length allows him to reject shots with ease and forces so many of his opponents to be uncomfortable.
Ezekiel Onoviran- Hebron High School
Ezekiel is an athletic wing who lives above the rim and in the paint. He has true expertise in finishing down low, even with defenders draped all over him. He has the ability to shoot well off the catch in the corner for three-pointers but is truly effective at getting to the rim and shooting midrange jumpers. He is the definition of a true three-level scorer, but his lane will be carved as a slasher. This is a kid to definitely keep your eye on as he continues to develop as a basketball player.
Preston Vandermyde- Flower Mound
Preston operates very well without the basketball, is constantly diving to the rim at the right team to get himself open looks at the rim. He finishes well but favors his right hand a lot, I would like to see more work with his off-hand as well as more post moves or work operating off the dribble. On defense, he has a knack for boxing out defenders with ease by maintaining strong positioning down low. He loves to sky for rebounds and always has his head up to find the right outlet pass to jump-start the fast break. His intelligence to slip past defenders to clear space for himself on the offensive side of the ball is evident and he always plays hard on both ends of the court.
