Karel is coming off a terrific showing at the Prep Hoops Michigan Top 250. He really impressed me there with his ability to attack offensively from the post and the perimeter. Karel scored as a dominating big on the block, but also showed off a much improved jumper and some nice 2 dribble drives to the rim. He’s established himself as premier post prospect.
Highlights
Cull is a beast when he’s under the rim. He does a nice job establishing position early when he wants it. There aren’t many players that really attack the glass the way that Cull does, and it serves him well because he uses his strength in a very effective manner. Cull has some versatility to his game as well.
Highlights
LePla can go right ahead and ignore that number next to his name. His ranking doesn’t serve his game justice. Quite frankly, you’ll see him put up some video game numbers this coming high school season. LePla is often bigger and stronger than his competition, but don’t let it fool you, because he’s underrated as an overall athlete as well. LePla can score with his back to the basket as well as facing the rim.
Hutson has so much upside as a player and prospect. He’s one of the slicker and smoother moving post players in the state and he seems to get bigger and stronger every time I see him play. Hutson is a terrific 2 way player. He’s extremely efficient on offense and can play at any pace. On the defensive end, he can disrupt action in the paint with his quickness and anticipation.
Richards is an incredibly seasoned prospect and has really been so since he walked in the high school doors as a freshman. He’s one of the most poised players in the class and can be easily relied upon to deliver in big moments of a game. Richards is a versatile scorer with excellent footwork. He can get off the ground in a hurry and can go over top of the defense with his jumping ability.
