The freshman played up on 16u and looked like he belonged. Anderson caught my eye with a few full-court needle threading dimes. His patience helps make the right passing decisions. Don’t be fooled by him not taking shots; he is very selective with his shots ensuring he get the best shot possible. Tough finisher at the rim. This is a guard that will be fun to watch in high school.

The lanky forward is coming out of his shell. Challenging any shot he can in the paint. Don’t let him being skinny fool you because he can finish strong at the rim. Doesn’t reveal much emotion but he plays with a fire ! Trash talking doesn’t bother him at all, but lights a fire inside. He is becoming more explosive underneath the rim.

Rogers can light up the three point line. Volume shooter that can heat up quick. Also big body that allows him to defend the post presence. Guards might think he is too big, but the exact opposite. Use his lateral quickness to cut handlers off from their angle.

Jones-Bynum have been on my mind since I seen him freshman year, and it was good seeing his growth. Despite the los Bynum kept attack the paint getting easy looks for his team. Plays through contact, and doesn’t allow bumps to push him off his angle. Can use the Pick-n-Roll to get to his spot or find the open man when the defense rotates.
TALK ABOUT PHYSICAL. Shaw likes to bully defenders especially in the interior post. Smooth pull-up jumper in the midrange running in transition. The change of pace he plays with keep defenders on their toes. His body is stronger than most his age.

The young man had to play bring the pain by Method Man the way he punished the rim. Wood caught my way because of his ability to score the ball. Finding angles to the rim and knocking down shots. Threw down three powerful dunk I did not see coming. When his body develops it’ll be scary for rim protectors.
