He has excellent athleticism and soared through the air for multiple blocks in Texas Legion Elite’s game against Drive Nation. Red is a competitor that will make things difficult for whoever he guards as he is a good perimeter defender and good in the low post.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0003.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1009049 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0003-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="781880" first="Lee" last="Dort"] - Drive Nation - F</strong></p> <p>Dort anchors the paint for Drive Nation and never gives up any easy buckets. He is extremely strong and is immovable in the low post. Dort is also an excellent shot-blocker that uses his athleticism to block shots that most players would not be able to block.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0041.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1011076 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0041-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="958895" first="Colby" last="Henderson"] - Texas Dynasty - G</strong></p> <p>Henderson is an excellent on-ball defender that leaves no space between him and his man. He has good hands and had multiple on-ball steals in Texas Dynasty’s 63-59 win over Team Buddy Buckets.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0042-1.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1009440 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0042-1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1009441" first="Avery" last="Jackson"] - Texas Dynasty - G</strong></p> <p>Jackson might have been the best off-ball defender in the tournament and has great awareness. He is great at anticipating passes and had multiple steals in the passing lanes. Jackson brings good energy and often turns his steals into points for his team on the other end of the floor.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0026.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1010305 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0026-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="955385" first="Michal" last="Wooldridge"] - Team Buddy Buckets - F</strong></p> <p>Wooldridge held down the paint for Team Buddy Buckets and is a good shot blocker. He has excellent size and strength and he often shuts down opposing bigs. Wooldridge is a strong low post defender and is extremely valuable to Team Buddy Buckets. </p>
