Noah did not see a ton of varsity minutes but showed great flashes when he went in. He moves with good speed in the open floor, making him a potential problem as a rim runner. Noah also has a decent jumper and the ability to finish above the rim, he is one of the most intriguing prospects to keep an eye on in this class.

Javon shot up and down, in terms of efficiency, this year but when he is hot he is a player who can rain in threes. He does a good job confidently stepping into shots, even from far behind the three-point line. I will be interested to see how he expands his game and role throughout his playing career.
