Parr is an excellent shooter from outside the ark. He has a great form to rise up over his defender and knock down the shot. He can handle the ball under pressure which makes him difficult to guard at times. When it comes to controlling the offense, he is top-notch when directing traffic and seeing the floor. He plays with a great pace and has a high IQ of the game.
Lycliter is a tremendous hustler when it comes to rebounding. He is great at putting his body in a great position in order to get the rebound. He can finish tough, contested shots underneath the rim. When he catches the ball at the high post, he is great at turning around and looking for teammates who are cutting through the paint. On defense, he stays active and moves to block shots coming his way.

He can put the ball on the floor and uses his length to get by his defender to the paint. He can also step outside the ark and shoot off the catch.

Gadd is an excellent rebounder. He is able to grab tough rebounds inside and is great at reading which way the ball will be bouncing off the rim. He can pass from both the low and high post with great vision. He uses his size to get to where he wants in the paint to try and score. He is not afraid to shoo the ball from the outside either and knocks shots down with confidence.
