Alexander is a high energy guard who has been asserting himself and being a pest on the defensive side of the ball. He has quick feet and is able to apply great on-ball pressure. He shows good vision being able to play the passing lanes and get a hand on the ball getting out quickly in transition. That vision translates to the offensive end, finding open teammates for easy baskets. He is dangerous from behind the arc, making defenders pay if they leave him open.
Gonzales is a high energy guard who brings it on the defensive end and can make an impact in many different ways. He is a pest, being able to play good on-ball defense and put the clamps on ball handlers. He is also good off-ball as well, playing the passing lane and starting the break quickly getting his teammates easy scoring opportunities. He is able to drive and kick for open threes when defenders crash. He also brings that toughness, helping crash the boards and kicking it out to restart the offense. At times he is able to get the ball inside and score over taller defenders.
Debolt is a player who stands out on the defensive end and is a true presence on that side of the ball being a pest. He has fast hands and when playing up on ball handlers, he has a knack for poking the ball out and getting out in transition. He is quick to get over in help side and if the ball handler isn’t paying attention it will be a hard trap to get out of. On the Offensive end he can score on all three levels but he has great vision and is a great facilitator, finding the open player quickly for a score.
Thomas is a player that can score on all three levels and makes life difficult on opposing defenders. He has a quick release and is a deadly off of catch and shoot opportunities behind the arc. When defenders over play he is able to use his quickness, blowing past them or getting to the elbow and rising up knocking down the shot. At times on the defensive end he is able to poke the ball out and causes quick turnovers. Also has good vision, playing the passing lane and getting out in transition.
Miskovic is an under the radar player that will be looking to turn some heads with the way he is able to shoot the ball. He is a knock down shooter from behind the arc and is not looking to jack the ball up, he tries to get his teammates involved and only pulls it if he has the best shot. He has a quick release and if defenders give him too much room it is hard to close out on him. On the defensive end he has quick feet and can get over in help side.
