<p>Williams came to the Fall Series with something to prove and he had a great showing with CBG Elite as he scored the ball in many different ways while also making plays for others with the ball in his hands. He's quick off the bounce and plays with good pace as he changes speeds and directions well, he's a crafty finisher around the rim with good body control, he can drill it from deep off the catch and off the bounce and he's a very good creator in isolation situations.</p>

<p>Winstead heads into his senior season as the go-to guy at Benedictine this year, and he showed with CBG Elite that he is ready for that and could be one of the top guards in the Richmond area this year. He showed good poise and made great decisions even in a camp setting as he set up teammates off the bounce and touched the paint regularly, he made shots from multiple levels and he is a good on ball defender as well.</p>

<p>Coles is a two sport star who also thrives on the football field but he came to play for CBG Elite and showed he's one of the top shooters and scorers in the Richmond area. He has a good frame and is a natural athlete who gets up and down and defends well on the basketball, he moves well off the ball to get open and has a quick release and he's a consistent shot maker who can fill it up in bunches and make defenses pay for leaving him alone.</p>

<p>Easterling is a new name in the VA scene as he transferred to Peninsula Catholic from Fayetteville Academy and he has a lot of intriguing tools that will have college coaches coming through PC this year. At 6'10” he's highly skilled on the perimeter as he can make shots from deep consistently, he handles the ball well and get to the pull-up where he can use his size to shoot over defenders and he is a smooth athlete who runs the floor and can finish above the rim.</p>

<p>Long is one of the more underrated players in the Richmond area, as he's been a standout at Hopewell and helped them to big success over the past few years and put up big numbers for them as well. The 6'4” wing has a do-it-all kind of game as he is a good athlete who is strong enough to defend and take contact when he gets downhill, he showed the ability to knock down shots consistently and score it in a number of different ways.</p>
