The Prep Hoops 250 Expo is just a few days away. Here are 5 players to watch at the event. [player_tooltip player_id='1578530' first='Jacob' last='Purington'], Position C, HT 6'8, Class 2025, High School Berwick Academy, Jacob Caught my eye last year at this event, and he should be on your radar heading into this Sunday. The 6'8 Big Man is a strong built and a physical player. He does a good job sealing the defender, and getting good positioning in the post. He can use his strength, and touch around the rim to finish. He also has good footwork, and can be a matchup problem for teams on the pick and roll. Jacob is what you want in your teams center, and last year at the event I even saw him stretch the flor a little bit. [player_tooltip player_id='1578491' first='Amir' last='Panagiotis'], Position CG, Class 2025, HT 6'0, High School ST Andrews Amir caught my eye last year at the event with his quick first step, and all around skill set. He can get to the rim and finish through contact. He also makes players around him better, and does a good job finding his teammates in the open floor. Amir is an athletic Guard, who can create his own shot, and also set his teammates up. [player_tooltip player_id='1529132' first='Drew' last='Kahn'], Position SG, Class 2025, HT 6'3, High School Nobles and Greenough Drew is a high level three point shooter. He has a quick shot release, and can get his shot off in multiple ways. He can Shoot off the dribble, in transition, and off the catch. He is constantly moving with out the ball. He also has shown the abilities to attack the hard closeout and get to the rim. Drew is a good leader on the floor and very vocal on both side of the ball. [player_tooltip player_id='1578549' first='Khalil' last='Carlson'], Position CG, HT 6'3, High School Monument Mountain Regional, Class 2024 Khalil is a three level score with a strong upside to his game. He can shoot from the outside and get to the rim. He is effective playing on or off the ball. On defense he plays with high energy, and is a good on ball defender. Looking forward to watching him compete on Sunday. [player_tooltip player_id='2198116' first='Brendan' last='Baldi'], High School Gilford (NH), Position CG, Class 2025, HT 6'2 Brendan has long range from the outside, and is a good ballhandler even when the defense pressures him. He is a strong two player on both sides of the floor. The fast paced style that Gilford plays, fits well with Brenden's game. Brendan can impact the game in multiple ways, and I look forward to seeing what he does on Sunday.
