<p>Texas ushers in the 2020-2021 season with some big-time matchups around the state. For seniors, it’s their last varsity season and national signing week. Let’s see what 2021 prospects made their presence felt in hot starts.</p>
<p><strong>Jack Pease | Highland Park</strong></p>
<p>Playmaking will drive Pease’s fourth and final varsity season. The quick guard turns out pinpoint passes to anyone running the break. In the halfcourt, he’s no more than a step away from the paint, especially when given space to go downhill.</p>
<p><strong>Worthey Wiles | Highland Park</strong></p>
<p>Wiles brings physicality to both ends of the court. At 6-4, he covers wings and guards alike, gaining position with his strength. On offense, you’re getting a powerful driver from the elbow that finishes softly off the glass. The Scot’s offense puts this senior’s court vision and passing center stage any time he’s free throw line extended.</p>
<p><strong>Payton Mills | Lebanon Trail</strong></p>
<p>Payton Mills may be the early diamond in the tough candidate. The 6-4 guard has decent athleticism to go with his good decision making and court vision.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="684376" first="Manny" last="Obaseki"] | John Paul II | Texas A&M</strong></p>
<p>Obaseki is a next level quick playmaker with a penchant for scoring. The big guard’s constant attack opens up passing lanes that he can zip passes through. He continues to flash shot creation in the mid-range. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="779884" first="Jaylon" last="Tyson"] | John Paul II | Texas Tech</strong></p>
<p>Tyson started the game as a distributor, then he turned on the shot making. In the team’s season opener 3 of 4 of his made three pointers came off the dribble. Great footwork fuels the four-star recruit’s playmaking and shot creation.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="887055" first="Shannon" last="Lowery"] | Frisco Memorial </strong></p>
<p>Fresh off an under the radar summer Lowery is back to physically imposing ways. The 6-5 athlete caught a body in transition and finishes through his fair share of bumps on his way to double-figure scoring.</p>
