Drew Chi-Emeka Vixon
Drew Chi-Emeka Vixon
We’ve herd but hadn’t seen Vixon in action. He’s a strong athletic prospect with an improving set of skills at the guard position. He’ll generate points in different ways. He used his handles along with body, and strength to get to the paint for strong finishes at the rim including a few dunks. He’s fast, and explosive in transition. We’ll see more.
Cameron Johnson
Cameron Johnson
He has quality handles, good body control, and was good about finishing drives into the paint, and around the basket. He moves along the perimeter looking for an opening to attack, or a pull-up. He knocked down a couple 3-point shots on the catch, along the perimeter off the dribble, and coming down in transition. He made good passes up in transition. We’ll see more
Miles Diallo
Miles Diallo
He’s a point guard that can run a team. He has good speed along with some shiftiness with the ball in his hands. He has a good burst to go by going to his left or right. He hit a couple mid-range off the dribble jumpers, knock down 3’s when open. He has handles, and vision to create for others.
Ry Atkins
Ry Atkins
Atkins has a long wiry frame and a good fundamental skill set. He’ll bring some versatility to the court with his 6’7 lengthy body. He contributes in other ways besides scoring. He hustles the court, going both ways, he has range on his jumper from mid-range out past the 3pt line, he hit a couple, he’s a willing passer, he’ll help on the boards but needs to get stronger. He has a long reach to distract shooters.
LT Finn
LT Finn
Finn was always on the move, hustling to fill lanes in transition, looking for open spots. He plays well in a fast pace game, always making cuts to get open. He’ll force defenses to pay attention to him, he can shoot the ball pretty well. He has decent handles and good passing. He has good foot speed and awareness. He’s on the Watch List
Derick Davies
Derick Davies
He’s a 5’8 point guard with speed and superb handles to put pressure on the defense. He did a good job of pushing and passing in transition basketball. He’s most likely a pass first Pg, but has the speed to go by defenders, get into the paint, attack bigs or kick it out. He’ll harass ball handlers up the court.
Kiminou Knox
Kiminou Knox
Knox is a big body power forward who can have his way in the paint if he learns how to use it, and improve his foot work. He’s strong going up, with a good touch around the rim and in the paint, he uses the back board. He can use his body to set the tone in the paint on the defensive side. He’ll get his rebounds, but should be a double double guy.
