<p>Here are some players from the city that are showing off their skills this spring.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1204508" first="Taylor" last="Perlmutter"]. 6”1. 2023. Lasalle</strong></p>
<p>At Pitt jam fest, Taylor displayed his combo guard skill set. A playmaking guard. Has excellent court vision and awareness. Smooth handle enables him to get to the rim or stop on a dime for his pull up jumper. Rebounds well from the guard position. Has good range especially off of his dribble.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1396000" first="Malik" last="Wilson"]. 5”9. 2024. St Edmunds</strong></p>
<p>Point guard skill set. Has a tight handle. Creates for others. Low to ground hard to knock off the ball. I feel next season he will be more comfortable and start showing off his range. He has the ability to knock down shots.</p>
