His game is predicated on his ability to play loose and free. When given space, Alexander showed the ability to hit open jumpers and drive to the basket. His length and size make him a prototypical wing player at the next level.
Brody Rowbury Brody Rowbury 6'11" | C Meridian | 2021 State ID 6’11 C Idaho Premier (#5PHI 2021) – Rowbury has an amazing skill set for a player of his size. His ceiling is directly corelated to his ability to increase his stamina. He has nimble feet and can stretch the floor out to the 3 point line. He may be a project, however the big man will be a nice pickup for the right program.

He has a better than average handle, and is a decent passer, but it is his shooting and tough shot making that allowed him to stand out.
Benny Kitchel Benny Kitchel 6'3" | SG Moscow | 2021 State ID 6’5 PF 509 Elite 2021 (#7PHI 2021) – Kitchel was one of a trio of 509 players that played well this weekend.

Joe Mpoyo Joe Mpoyo 6'4" | SG Meridian | 2021 State ID 6’3 SG Idaho Premier 2021 (#10PHI 2021) – Mpoyo was hit or miss, but when he was hitting it was usually from deep. A big time shot maker, Mpoyo buried several deep 3’s throughout the week.
