When your father is a first-round pick in the NBA draft, basketball is in you. Fizer displayed his ability to get to the rim. Even when his team was down he never settled for jump shots instead kept attacking the gaps in the defense. The player that takes what the defense gives him. Can create separation from defenders to get his shot off. With his length helps when finishing over taller rim protectors.
Shaw have the build of your typical wing. Player that take pride in defense, and makes it extremely hard for smaller opponents to see over him with active hands. Can knock down the spot-up jumper, but knows how to relocate to the right spot for the pass. He “wow’d” the crowd with an acrobatic finish (see below). He simply plays the angles of the game.
What stood out to me about Goodman was how active he was around the rim defensively. Slasher that attacks from the wing perimeter. Use his athletic ability to finish over the defender absorbing the contact. Due to his size he accepted the role of guarding the team post players. With him being more agile than his opponent can cause a mismatch on the other end.

Being six-feet-six-inches as a freshman usually puts you in the paint defensively, but doesn’t limit you offensively. Lockhart able to take bigger slower opponents from the perimeter. Looks to challenge any shot near the rim. Have the awareness to make himself available for the pass..
Wood impressed me with his ability to knock down perimeter shots off the catch. Underrated slasher from the wing position. Small muscle frame, but is defined. Basketball actually runs in his blood with him mother being a former professional basketball player.
