Hope is a terrific player that looks like he has a game that will transfer nicely to the next level. He’s an absolute menace in the open floor. Hope know when to take it the distance to the rim, but he also knows when the pass is the better option. He’s an elite finisher that can finish with finesse as well as above the rim power. Hope has a pretty right to left spin move when attacking the bucket.
Highlights
McCall is an elite talent on a scale bigger than his state. He has a lot of vertical explosiveness that will catch your eye right away. This helps him finish with some eye-popping power at the rim. McCall seems to have the ability to hang in the air that bit longer than most which helps him finish in traffic. His strength is pretty underrated as well. McCall is strong in the upper body helping him play off contact.
Highlights
Hawthorne looks like he has a lot to offer at the next level someday. He’s bouncy under the rim and his mid range game looks outstanding. Hawthorne can shoot over top of most defenders in the mid range and he has a nice soft touch on the ball from there, whether it be a floater or a jumper. Hawthorne plays well off the high post and can do work off the bounce on the perimeter.
Highlights
Jaxon Tharp
Jaxon Tharp
Tharp is a player that next level coaches will want to have on their radar. I really like the way he uses his wingspan on the defensive end. Tharp reaches in the passing lanes and gets steals and deflections. When he has the ball in his hands, he can pick up speed in a hurry and often times simply beat the defense back for an easy bucket.
Alexander DiPaolo
Alexander DiPaolo
DiPaolo will definitely be a player to watch for the next few years. He can be very dangerous off the catch and shoot. When DiPaolo catches the ball in rhythm beyond the arc, it’s basically a done deal. He has a really nice shot fake and take that aids in his scoring from mid range and at the rim.
Muhl is a very underrated player from the mitten state and one with very obvious next level skills. He’s a point guard’s point guard with all the game needed to be great at it. Muhl plays with a very high basketball IQ and handles the ball with skill and efficiency, keeping his turnover numbers very low. Don’t forget, he’s a great shooter with definite 3 point range as well.
