Radek is smaller for a shooting guard but makes up for his lack of height with athleticism and high IQ. He moves very well without the ball and is a great slasher who uses his athleticism and a good frame to finish through contact at the rim. Radek gets to his spots on the floor and makes the right read finding cutting teammates. On the defensive end of the floor, Radek is a good on-ball defender who has good instincts to jump passing lanes.
Highlights
Theron Coleman has shown the ability to be a consistent role player and slasher towards the rim. Theron has good height and moves quickly when guarding on the ball making him a defender who can lockdown wings and guard. Near the rim, Theron uses his athleticism to float in the air for smooth finishes, when on fire Theron can hit some acrobatic shots over defenders.
Highlights
Jasper Padia is a big wing who is great at attacking the rim and scoring in the mid-range. Off of the dribble, Jasper is great at getting downhill using long strides to pass defenders. He can stop on a dime for mid-range jumpers and has a tough shot to contest due to his height and high release. Jasper is a very good creator for himself and has shown flashes of being a good off-ball cutter.
Hunter Hill is a wing/forward who is a very good athlete with a soft touch near the rim. Hunter when cutting backdoor or playing out of the dunker’s spot he has great senses near the rim. Hunter also creates second chance opportunities by being active on the offensive boards, where he uses his long arms for tip-in putbacks. Hunter has a solid mid-range and three-point which allows him to be a wing or small power forward.
