Sir William McDuffie

Looks more polished when handling the ball. Used escape dribble to avoid being trapped, and change of pace to throw his defenders off balance. Great job of not letting the screener defender hedge him off the pick. Consistently knocked down shots from three point line. His pull-up from deep seems to be more efficient. How fast and quick he moves open up so much for others on offense. The new guy really gravitate to him.

Always liked his potential due to his sneaky bounce, and knowing how to get to his spots. Physicality of the game doesn’t phase him. Favorite go-to is the one dribble pull-up in the midrange; which he loves to use on defenders crashing too hard.
Bryson Holmes
Bryson Holmes
What stood out most was his character. Holmes kept being a vocal leader and motivator to his team. Holmes provide some inside-outside presence for the Panthers. Some lineups Holme played the five man, but his mobility allows him to defend of the perimeter. Gets his hand in the passing lane.

Ratliff can absolutely light up the three point line. Refreshing to see he kept the same form on all his shots. What stood out most was his shots came in the rhythm of the game. Keeps the ball moving on offense. Get his hands ready to shoot before the pass. Like to see the evolution, and become the ultimate sniper for the Cougars.

Young is a competitor! Doesn’t back down from a challenge. The lefty can fill up the scoring sheet, the seventh highest point per game averaging 2o points throughout the showcase. Player you can trust to score in isolation scenarios. Once he put more muscle on his body the game will become easier for him. With the way he plays people are going to have drive out to Willis High to see the show.
