Stellar November Performances (Pt. 2)

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>With the highly anticipated 2021-22 Texas high school basketball season officially underway, we discuss some of the prospects starting the year off with stellar early season performances. </strong></em></p> <hr /> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="787334" first="Addison" last="Harmon"] | Point Guard | Prosper HS | C/o ’23</strong></em></p> <p>Texas-ranked, [player_tooltip player_id="787334" first="Addison" last="Harmon"] had a stellar outing where he put up a strong 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Harmon effectively utilized his 6-foot-2 size and frame to take small guards into the post where he could kick it out, finish under the basket, or use his post fadeaway to get the bucket. Good physicality and strength. Harmon also displayed phenomenal control and handle of the rock, very smooth in and outs, hesitations, and crossover moves that constantly got the defense off-balance and the created space needed to either shoot or pass. Defensively, Addison clamped down on the perimeter as he’s known to do, making it incredibly difficult for opposing guards to take him to the rack off the dribble. [player_tooltip player_id="787334" first="Addison" last="Harmon"] proved to be a competitive point guard that really makes his presence felt on both sides of the ball.</p> <hr /> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id="1158400" first="Parker" last="Hannah"] | Combo Guard | Keller HS | C/o ’23</em></strong></p> <p>At the Dallas Fall Classic, [player_tooltip player_id="1158400" first="Parker" last="Hannah"] proved to be well equipped with a bag full of moves that could create separation from any defender and take him to any spot on the floor that he desired. Ridiculous footwork, strong handles, and ability to produce his own shot off the dribble were insanely impressive and have been effective all season long. Killer crossovers, starts and stops on a dime, uncanny prowess to change speeds and directions with a knack for stopping a defender dead in his tracks before hitting a between the legs step back and launching his jumper over the top of the defense. Very heady in the open court, Hannah was a nightmare to deal with due to his footwork and quickness, he often tricked his defender with his euro-steps and pump fakes.</p> <hr /> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1212658" first="Alex" last="Cotton"] | Shooting Guard | Hebron HS | C/o ’23</strong></em></p> <p>To kick off the season, [player_tooltip player_id="1212658" first="Alex" last="Cotton"] produced 32 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 steals with great efficiency and consistency. Cotton shot 12-of-17 from the field and 8-of-11 from beyond the arc, all from the wings and corners of the floor. [player_tooltip player_id="1212658" first="Alex" last="Cotton"] was like a microwave with the way he got hot so quickly. He was an unconscious sniper who was incredibly deadly off the catch when spotting up. His shooting mechanics were very well polished, his snappy quick release allowed him to be unphased with a hand in his face and with defenders flying at him.</p> <hr /> <p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="887083" first="Corvin" last="Oprea"] | Shooting Guard | St. Mark’s School of Texas | C/o ’22</strong></em></p> <p>Lefty, [player_tooltip player_id="887083" first="Corvin" last="Oprea"] got his senior year started off right with a 20 point, 8 rebound, 5 assist performance where he played with great chemistry alongside his squad. <span style="font-size: 1rem;">This multifaceted player brought a lot to the table offensively, </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Oprea consistently knew where his teammates would be on the court and they always made sure to slash to the basket or pop out to the corner for a three-pointer whenever Corvin penetrated the lane. </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Deceptive driving skills, the 6-foot-4-inch guard attacked as if he was looking to score, drawing in defenders before dishing the ball out or tossing it to his nearest cutting teammate. </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">One thing you have to love about [player_tooltip player_id="887083" first="Corvin" last="Oprea"] is the fact that he’s a v</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">ery unselfish dime-dropping assist-man that sees the entire floor extremely well in a half-court setting. </span></p> <hr /> <p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1327545" first="Jaxon" last="Miles"] | Shooting Guard | Mansfield Legacy HS | C/o ’22 </strong></em></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1327545" first="Jaxon" last="Miles"] had a nice start to his senior season, going for 20 points, and 8 rebounds, after nailing 4 three-pointers all from different spots beyond the perimeter while facing the Eastern Hills Highlanders. Miles showed the ability to be a knockdown jump shooter off the catch, displaying tremendous patience, focus, and a quick enough trigger to let it fly within limited space. The Mansfield Legacy guard had it going from the get-go, firing from all cylinders and consistently stretching the lead. [player_tooltip player_id="1327545" first="Jaxon" last="Miles"] continues to receive a lot of interest and offers from Division 3 college programs such as Buena Vista University, Minnesota West College, and most recently Colby Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire.</p> <hr /> <p>&nbsp;</p>
