Continue ReadingFuquay has had an interesting journey, relocating from Michigan to Nevada. No matter where he calls home, he’s been productive. The lefty is a terrific athlete, with the ability to play above the rim. He’s more of a wing floor sprinter than rim runner or post man, however he has good quickness off the floor, and the ability to defend against direct post entries.
Jackson has been a top prospect since his freshman days. Size is a premium, and he has that in spades. Jackson can protect the rim and rebound, and is a valuable player that adds interior depth to the roster.
Mabry is one of the top high academic players in the class. The high flying forward has gotten off to a strong start to the season, grabbing rebounds and scoring, despite repeatedly facing double and triple teams. The combination of his size, athleticism and academics makes him one of the top high academic prospects on the west coast.
Jaeck is an athletic big, that has shown flashes of scoring with his back to the basket. He has a good upper frame, which allows him to move taller post players off their spot. Occasionally he will step outside and make a three, allowing him to stretch the floor for his team.
Tatum is probably one of the most productive post players in the state. Although undersized, he’s strong, has good athletic abilty and a variety of post moves. The forward is currently the leading scorer for a good Desert Pines squad.
Riley is a bouncy big, that uses his hops to clean the glass. He is most effective playing in the dunkers spot, catching and finishing lobs or putting back his teammates misses.
The combination of Biebrich and Mabry is a frighting one for opponents. At times what one doesn’t rebound, the other one does. Biebrich has transfered his game from a strictly hard hat guy, to a player that stretchs the floor to about 18 and can handle against the press.
Got a glimpse of Reid up in Reno for the WIld West Shootout and liked his frame and motor. I was also a fan of his rebounding ability, as he was able to grab more than his share of 50/50 opportunities. Currently he’s on a good Douglas squad that has ambitions of returning to the 5A Final Four, his skill and added frontcourt depth go a long way to helping them reach that goal.
