He scored from the mid-range and got downhill at will playing off 2 feet. Smooth guard with good hips that has the ball on a tight rope and plays at his own pace. Good change of speed which he used to get his mid-range pull up and the rim. Will guard 94 feet and apply pressure. Rebounded the ball well for a guard on both sides of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sawyer Stone | 6'5 | Maclay</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1664064,"width":145,"height":145,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/df8OBhv8.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/df8OBhv8.jpg?w=512" alt="" class="wp-image-1664064" width="145" height="145" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior guard just knows how to play basketball the right way. He finished with 10 points and 4 assist. He almost had a couple of highlight dunks if he would have not gotten fouled. He went 4 for 6 from the free throw line. He is known to be a knockdown shooter. The guard passed up good shots to create great shots for his teammates. When he did attack to get downhill he kicked out to open shooters. I would expect for him to get more involved in his next game at the classic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Za'vion Bryant | 5'9 | Madison County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior guard was the driving force for the cowboys and let them to a win behind his 15 points and 5 assist. He had a burst that was effective to turn the corner on his defender to attack the rim. He scored from all 3 levels and used his speed and change of pace to keep his defenders off balance. Strong body that he used to absorb the initial contact and get to his spots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Korey Catchings | 6'2 | West Florida</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior guard came out in attack mode finishing with 18 points in a win vs Taylor County. The lefty shot the ball well from the 3. Most of his work came from getting downhill going left preferably and finishing off two feet. Athletic guard with longs arms, he got his hands on multiple balls and played the passing lane with anticipation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2306304' first='Amare' last='Robinson'] | 5'10 | FSUS</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The sophomore guard took on the top assignment on defense every possession he was in the game. He picked up his match up 94 feet and caused havoc for the opposition. He is athletic and used it to finish through and around his defender when attacking the rim. Pretty good handle in which he could bring the ball up and initiate the offense when needed. A two sport athlete and you could see his baseball tangibles come into play with his smooth hips and active hands when defending. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
