He can handle and pass when needed, but his ability to shoulder the scoring will help. He repeatedly beat his man off the dribble from different angles, maneuvered his way into the paint for floaters, and paint jumpers, he took on contact, and hit a couple of timely 3-ptrs. 16.3pts, 4.3asts. </p> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1241755" first="Antonio" last="Pusateri"] 6’7 Wing of Archbishop Riordan HS 2022</strong></em></p> <p>He was a surprise all-tournament selection.

His ability to effect the game as a first year high school player can’t go unnoticed. He handles the ball as much as any of his teammates.

He’s been working on the perimeter lately but his effect is mostly working in the paint area. He runs the court in transition, plays tough defense on the perimeter, but he’ll dominate at times in the paint with his strength, and ability to take on the bigs at 6’4. 10.3pts, 6.6rebs. He had a double-double. </p> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="950886" first="Tyler" last="Harris"] 6’7 Wing of Salesian Prep HS. 2023</strong></em></p> <p><em><strong>Harris</strong> </em>is the #1 player in the Prep Hoops 2023 Class.
