At 6'5” with long arms he checks all the boxes physically and athletically, he can put it on the deck and get to spots both in the midrange and at the rim and he's able to heat up quickly and score it in bunches from all over the floor. He finished the event averaging 15 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1366891' first='Xander' last='Alarie'] | 6'7” PF | St. Andrew's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1829143,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/Xander-Alarie.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/Xander-Alarie.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1829143" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alarie had himself a great weekend and had a number of college coaches watching him as he showed his big time athleticism and versatility with efficient production across the board. At 6'7” he has good size and is a stretch forward who can knock it down from deep, he has good pop as a finisher above the rim who can catch lobs and cutbacks and he runs the floor and can switch defensively. He finished the event averaging 13,3 points on 59% shooting from the field and 5.8 rebounds per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1759604' first='Ky' last='Panda-Massey'] | 5'10” PG | Grace Brethren</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Panda-Massey was fantastic for Grace Brethren at the point of attack, as he showed his ability to touch the paint and and create shots while showing a good amount of toughness as well. He's shifty off the bounce with a good handle and the ability to change speeds, he plays with great balance when he gets downhill and is able to finish through contact and he is a competitor who will get after it on both ends of the floor. He finished the event averaging 13.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1579095' first='Tremayne' last='Hawkins'] | 6'7” PF | Grace Brethren</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2024599,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/unnamed-36.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/unnamed-36.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2024599" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hawkins was a force for Brethren as he dominated in the paint and was able to score the ball well without having a lot of plays called for him. The 6'7” forward is extremely strong and plays with a great motor as he's willing to bang in the paint and pursues rebounds on both ends of the floor, he has great body control to finish through contact and he can step out and make shots in the midrange as well. He finished the event averaging 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225255' first='Tyler' last='Boston'] | 5'11” PG | Bullis</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1342613,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/12/Boston-Tyler-Head-Shot.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/12/Boston-Tyler-Head-Shot.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1342613" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boston was fantastic on the weekend, showing he's a natural floor general who makes great decisions and runs the show, and he picked up four offers on the weekend due to his play. Boston runs the pick-and-roll as good as anyone in the DMV as he can make all the reads and passes out of it, he scored the ball well from deep and in the midrange and he has an innate ability to control the game on both ends of the floor. He finished the event averaging 8 points and 5 assists while his impact on the game was much more than the stats would show.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1164818' first='Caden' last='Diggs'] | 6'6” WF | Bullis</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1806234,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/02/Screen-Shot-2023-02-19-at-7.41.19-AM.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/02/Screen-Shot-2023-02-19-at-7.41.19-AM.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1806234" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Diggs is a fast rising prospect who is starting to gain big time high major interest, and he showed that potential throughout DMV Live with some very impressive outings and plays.
