Kabien Goss
Goss was a major standout as he simply made plays throughout the practice. He has great court vision as he was able to routinely find open teammates and thread the needle in traffic. Goss was always in control with the ball in his hands as he was not rattled by on-ball pressure and used his handle to beat his defender off the bounce. He finished nicely around the basket and moved his feet well on the defensive end. Goss is a lightning quick floor general who will make plays all weekend for the HGSL team in Pittsburgh.
Z’yaire Price
Price had a strong showing as he showed his ability to impact the game in a variety of ways. He ran the floor hard during the scrimmage, creating easy layups for himself. Price set good screens in the half court and finished nicely around the basket. He moved his feet well on the defensive end and fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Price is a hard-working forward prospect who should have a strong weekend in Pittsburgh.
Zack Davis Zack Davis 6'7" | SF Peddie | 2024 State NJ
Davis had a solid showing and is looking to translate his game to the weekend. He knocked down jumpers from behind the arc as he has a nice release on his jumper and did not rush his shots. Davis did more than just as he also put the ball on the floor and threw down a couple dunks during the transition layup drill. He made good outlet passes to start the break and ripped down rebounds. Davis’ ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his stock in a big way this weekend.
Nas Robinson Nas Robinson 5'9" | PG Linden | 2024 State NJ
Robinson was in fine form at the practice as he looked ready for the upcoming weekend. He has a tight handle and a lightning quick first step, which he used to blow by his defender in the half court. Robinson finished nicely around the basket and did not seem to get sped up by the defense. He made good decisions with the ball in his hands and moved his feet well on the defensive end. Robinson is a speedy point guard who should use his speed effectively to get into the paint this weekend.
Anthony Akande Anthony Akande 6'4" | SG Arts | 2024 State NJ
Akande had a solid showing as he was able to put his versatility on display. He was able to get into the paint consistently during the practice and showed a nice touch on his floater. Akande pushed the ball well in transition and was able to find his teammates in open spots. He made plays on the defensive end and has the length and athleticism to defend multiple spots on the floor. Akande is a two-way wing whose ability to defend along with him knocking down shots will be key to a big weekend for him.
