Playing for Kyle Guy Elite Black this past AAU season, Richmond showed improvement in his size and mobility. The lefty drives the ball well from the perimeter very well and is capable of knocking down open three-point attempts as well. He has a physical inside-outside game, as well. He can be real smooth at times as well. He will be the best player for the Tigers while also having a breakout season as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player: [player_tooltip player_id='1297031' first='Henri' last='Maye']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another power forward that I could see having a breakout year for the Tigers is 6'7 [player_tooltip player_id='1297031' first='Henri' last='Maye']. Maye recently impressed at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo with his ability to defend in the post and protect the rim with his size, length, and athleticism. Offensively, he has the ability to drive it at you in a straight line and is athletic enough to get up and finish at the rim with force. He an Richmond will make up one of the better front courts at the 1A level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Important Roster Members:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Jett Jordon Turner</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2282421' first='Damon' last='Van Horn']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2266897' first='Kenneth' last='Lampley']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notable Games (Confirmed)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at Providence Cristo Rey (12/20)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>at Christel House Manual (1/31)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>vs Indianapolis Tech (2/3)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
