Earl’s ability to navigate the defense and set up his teammates is second to none. He’s nearly impossible to stop as he attacks downhill; utilizing changes of speed, crafty dribble moves, and elite ball security. Earl excels as a scorer through the use of a variety of tools such as floaters or the ability to score off the dribble. He uses good footwork once inside to maneuver around the bigs and find space to set up a teammate or score on a fancy lay-up of his own. Earl is a smart defender too; he’s always searching for steals and applies a ton of pressure to opposing ball-defenders.
Highlights
Myles Ellis
Myles Ellis
Ellis has phenomenal guard skills. He’s lightning quick and plays fast but under control. He has great leaping abilities and uses this to rise over the D and get his pretty jumper off in traffic. Ellis is a good playmaker and loves setting up the open man. His handles are very tight, and this makes it easy for him to probe the lane, draw the help D, and make the easy pass or get a score of his own. One thing that I really like about Ellis is his motor, he plays with great energy throughout the entire game.
Marvin Douglas
Marvin Douglas
The defensive efforts and awareness from Douglas are fantastic. He’s incredibly active as his hands and feet are always moving, bugging opposing ball-handlers and providing timely help D. His rebounding pursuits are relentless on both ends of the court. Douglas finishes well through contact and scores around the basket at a high rate. His positioning is good on either side of the ball; it seems Douglas is always in the right place at the right time.

One thing that stands out about Kowal is his frame and his ability to use it to his advantage. As a taller wing player with solid guard skills, he’s able to pass and shoot over the top of smaller defenders. And, using his long strides, he can get inside with ease. He runs the floor well and can score from the inside and out. Kowal has good footwork as he navigates the paint; he likes the fall-away jumper and with his build and high release point, it’s nearly impossible to block.
Max Davis
Max Davis
Davis is a three-level scorer who takes high percentage shots. He’s got good rhythm from distance and pulls it with confidence. I like the way he pushes the pace and the tempo he plays with. He’s a gifted playmaker who sees the floor at a high level. I like the patience and decision making he displays as a ball-handler. Davis is confidence in his abilities and can heat up in a hurry. He’s got soft touch as he attacks the lane and makes good use of the floater. Davis is a sound offensive player.
Luke Krueger
Luke Krueger
Krueger is a really crafty scorer and can get buckets from just about anywhere. He gets to the rim very well and once he’s there he can finish confidently with either hand. He constantly keeps his head up and plays with good vision. Krueger is extremely good in transition and makes the right play as he attacks downhill. He has high-level scoring skills and because of this, he often draws much attention from the D, allowing him to contribute as a facilitator.
