Conor Holland
Conor Holland
Conor Holland is a 6’0 guard from Marathon High School and is in the graduating class of 2023. Holland is a highly skilled offensive player and became the all time leading scorer for his school district this year. As a junior he averaged 28 ppg while shooting over 40% from the 3 point line, and has continued this level of production throughout his senior year. We saw Holland play in a sectional semi final game and he was dominant throughout, knocking down 3’s from lang range both from the catch and off the dribble, getting to the rim consistently and finishing through contact. Defensively he can pressure the ball handlers, creating steals and disrupting their ability to initiate the offense. Good athlete, high motor, great communicator.
Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott is a 6’7 center from Dryden High School and is in the graduating class of 2023. Scott is an athletic big who runs the floor very well, strong rebounder on both ends of the floor and plays with energy. Offensively he has great touch around the rim and has the ability to convert offensive rebounds into buckets. Defensively he is a presence in the paint, exhibits good timing when blocking shots. In the game we saw Xavier play, he had several blocks in the same quarter and was altering shots all night.
Owen Standish-Warpus
Owen Standish-Warpus
Owen Standish-Warpus is a 6’0 guard from Whitney Point High School and is in the graduating class of 2024. Standish-Warpus is a strong, athletic guard and he uses that strength on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. Defensively he has the ability to pressure ball handlers, uses angles to cut off driving lanes, and fights for rebounding positioning. Offensively he can knock down 3’s from the catch as well as knock down pull up jumpers when the defenders fly by on their close outs. Has the ability to penetrate into the lane and finish strong through contact.
Peter Nydam
Peter Nydam
Peter Nydam is a 6’4 guard from Dryden High School and is in the graduating class of 2025. Nydam can shoot the ball at a high level off the catch and has the ability to get himself open for shots. Good size for a sophomore and seems to be increasing his athleticism while learning how to maximize his size and length. Nydam takes care of the ball well and even was bringing the ball up the floor at times, handles pressure well and minimized turnovers in the game we saw him play.
Daniel Murphy III
Daniel Murphy III
Daniel Murphy III is a 6’3 guard from Dryden High School and is in the graduating class of 2025. Murphy is a long, lanky guard and contributes on both sides of the floor for his squad. Offensively, Murphy can drive past defenders and penetrate the lane, in the game we watched him play, he connected on several mid range pull ups off the dribble, while showing the ability to read help side defenders and make good decisions. Murphy has good length and uses it on the defensive end, getting in passing lanes and causing deflections that lead to transition opportunities.
