Continue ReadingRice is in the process of changing his game from being a back to the basket post to a stretch 4 or even a big wing if he can tighten his handle enough. Lawson’s best attribute is his motor as he never stops playing hard. He lives around the rim in transition and is quick to follow up teammate misses with offensive rebound putbacks. Watch for his stock to keep trending up.
Highlights
Ayiei is an intriguing prospect because of his elite size. Lual is still figuring out how to play as big as he actually is. He sometimes floats around the perimeter too much and settles for bad shots. Once he settles into his role as a rim runner on offense and a rim protector on defense, his stock will keep going up and he projects as a D1 prospect.
Hanke is a tough forward who plays hard and rebounds really well for his size. Will has shown the ability to put the ball on the floor and can catch and shoot from the perimeter. His ultimate ceiling as a prospect is yet to be determined but Hanke is the type of player who will maximize his potential.
Jaden is an inside out threat who tends to float around the perimeter a little more than he should but he’s a good shooter who makes multiple threes per game. Stewart is not super athletic but he is skilled and knows how to use his body to get into defenders and finish through them. He’s probably the best Sophomore in the 15th region.
