Additionally, Marsico possesses enough handles that he is a threat to use two or three dribbles to create for himself or teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2336705' first='Grayson' last='McKeogh'] </strong><strong>– 6'8” / Freshman / LaSalle CHS / Next Play / Power Forward:</strong> The LaSalle program was hit hard by transfer departures, but it looks like McKeogh is plenty capable of picking up the slack on the interior. With his length, nose for the ball and giant wingspan, McKeogh is a dominating rebounder at both ends. Plus, he can score the ball via quick post ups, the offensive glass and in pick-n-roll action. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2047478' first='Samair' last='Peterson'] – 5'11” / Junior / Lincoln / Shooting Guard: </strong>Peterson is a wiry dribble drive phenom with a nasty mid-range game as well as extremely creative at the rim finishing skills.

His change of pace / direction abilities makes his dribble drives impossible to stop. Once at the rim, he can finish with creative flair or with authority. His jump shot is an effective weapon from numerous spots on the floor.
