Littleton is a player that is able to make an impact in the paint on both sides of the court and is a pest on the defensive end. He is able to play the passing lanes and get his hands on passes, being able to outlet the ball quickly to start the break and get easy transition buckets. He has quick feet and is able to get over quickly in the paint to help side and come up with a block. He makes his presence felt down low and can alter shots with his length, making the offense have to shoot high over him. He is under the radar but will be able to turn heads on a young team.
Schwartz is a lengthy player that is a pest on the defensive end of the court. He has quick feet and is able to get over in help side, playing the passing lane and taking it the other way in transition for an bucket in the paint. He makes it difficult on opposing offenses on the inside as he is a good shot blocker and forces them to try and shoot over him. He has the ability to be the anchor of the defense being able to guard multiple positions and will look to be more active on the boards.
Mason is a player that can contribute on the inside and is a force in the paint on the defensive end. He is able to clog the paint and has the length to run as the big, being able to alter shots and come up with some blocks. He has quick feet and is able to close out on offensive players, causing them to change their shot midair. He is able to come away with steals at times, tipping passes in the lane and getting it out to the guard quickly to start the break.
Jones is a wing that can contribute on both ends of the court and has the capability to drop double-doubles. He has some touch from midrange rising up over defenders to knock down some shots. He is also able to step out from behind the arc and knock down the 3 ball as well, making the defense pay when they leave him open. On the defensive side he has good on-ball defense and is able to stay in front of quicker ball handlers, using his height and coming up with some blocks at times.
