275 Hoops x TDP Eilte Run Standouts
Matt Barnes
<p>275 Hoops and Corey Albertson from the Triple Double Podcast ran an invite-only open gym streamed to over 100 colleges on Youtube Friday night. Roughly 40 of the top players in Cincinnati and the surrounding areas were invited, and there were some notable standouts.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="593935" first="AJ" last="Braun"] was dominant. The big man showed off his versatility and has proven that he is a top PF in the entire state. He showed more physicality inside, has great rebounding skills, and can extend the floor with his range. Some of the key things that stood out to me were his ability to get up and down the floor in transition and his willingness to battle. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="967136" first="Kobe" last="Rodgers"] was a very high stock riser at the showcase. The last time I saw him play he was still sporting a bulky knee brace, but he looked more comfortable and smooth this time around. He showed off some bounce on a put-back dunk, was smooth on the drive, and was consistent in finishing at the rim. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="918978" first="Jackson" last="Holt"] was another top performer. He stole the show at times with his sharpshooting abilities. He also showed some good handles at times but is overall a very effective catch and shoot player. His mid-range game is very consistent as well. He was probably the highest stock riser along with [player_tooltip player_id="967136" first="Kobe" last="Rodgers"]. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="867936" first="Rayvon" last="Griffith"] is the top 2023 in the state and is nationally ranked in his class. He is a tough kid that lets his play do the talking. He loves contact, shoots efficiently from just about anywhere, and will throw down every chance he gets. He is a tough competitor and will end up being a SG/SF at a high major when high school is said and done. </p>
