Midseason Journal: Shooters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some of the most prolific shooters we observed during the first part of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1598929' first='Belgude' last='Choijilsuren'] | guard | Fairfax (VA) '25</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Choijilsuren has emerged as a knockdown perimeter threat for the Lions. We watched him drill five of six attempts from downtown in a win over Unity Reed. Choijilsuren is dangerous with his feet set. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1579103' first='Thomas' last='Farrell'] | guard | Whitman (MD) '24</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Farrell has as pure a shooting stroke as you'll find in the area. He's most certainly menacing as a catch-and-shoot guy, but he also knows how to attack closeouts. Farrell is efficient at getting to his spots and pulling up on a dime. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Cole Love | guard | Oxon Hill (MD) '23</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Love stood out as one of the better shooters on the Clippers. He hit multiple standstill jumpers. When he gets going, Love should not be left alone on the catch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1259624' first='Chance' last='Mallory'] | guard | St. Anne's Belfield (VA) '25</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mallory has a high all-around skill level, with his shot being one of the trademarks of his game. You have to respect his ability to pull up at a moment's notice or blow by you with his quickness. Guarding Mallory is a true paradox. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Dante Mayo Jr. | guard | Richard Montgomery (MD) '24</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mayo is one of the few players we've seen who can score up to 20 points in a quarter at the drop of a hat. He has in-the-gym range and the ability to regularly hit contested shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1580611' first='Kye' last='Robinson'] | guard | Alexandria City (VA) '24</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perhaps the most impressive stat from Robinson's 30-point game against Bishop Ireton was his free throw shooting. The lefty sniper hit 13 of 13 from the charity stripe. Robinson also converted several long-range bombs from the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
