Small school player with a big game. Seamus is a hands down, man down player that will light you up from deep. He has a smooth set up game out in the perimeter and he was one of the top scorers in the state. He is a player that will score 30+ and he seems to attract a lot of fouls and he knocks them down. He is locked in on defense and will pick your pocket if you do not protect/. On his shot he has a great high release and follow through. He plays with a lot of energy and motor as well.
Logan Orchard

Let’s start on the defensive end of the ball. Logan can man up and stay in front. He is able to stay low and move laterally and recover. Somewhat of a pest that you can’t shake easily. Show him the ball and he will steal it. On the offensive end he can use his IQ on cuts as defenders turn their backs or ball watch he will cut and finish. He finishes strong under pressure and through contact. He knows when to collapse and help and he also knows when to stunt and get back. In the open floor he does a great job of spacing and keeping a good speed to turn it up when he does decide to attack. He often surprises people with his arm length as he gets a lot of tips and he even blocks quite a few shots for a guard. He is a kid to keep an eye on.

With some positional size and strength at around 200 lbs. and the way he runs the floor and has an outside shot he is a matchup nightmare. He can get up and down the floor and he is quick. He can hurt you in the post but also step out and shoot the ball as well. With great vision and poise you can run your offense through him as well. His passing is underrated for sure as he can throw dimes. He blocks shots when he walls up and he has good timing. He has skills to play the 3 at the next level which could be an NAIA or D2 and for sure at the NWAC level.
Highlights
This kid is a stud and he plays with a great motor. He is dunking in traffic and he has no fear when he is attacking the rim. His midrange game has been great and seems to be getting better. In the perimeter he can catch and shoot the ball. He is a player you can’t leave open. He is a great drive and kick guy as well. He can work with his back ti the basket and he can also rip and go to the rim using that quick first step.
