A prospect I caught on the Prep Hoops Circuit this summer, Wilson continued to show the ability to score the ball efficiently. Started the first game with a euro step floater finish and then started getting hot from 3-point range. With a quick release and confidence to fire from a few feet behind the line off the catch, Wilson had a big scoring morning. His soft touch also was shown when he found the dead spot in the rim to have his 3-point shot fall right into the net from the back rim. Finally, he once again showed how he uses the threat of his shot to drive with a right to left crossover which led to a scoop layup.
Highlights
Between Waters and Andrew Wilson Andrew Wilson 6’2″ | SG Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy | 2025 OH , McNicholas has some impressive talent on display in this fall league. Waters really shot the ball at a high level, making back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers to end the first half of his final game of the day. With his good pre catch habits, Waters is able to catch and release quickly, not needing much space to score.
Highlights
Wilson was a tough cover in isolation with his ability to beat the defense off the bounce. Able to get all the way to the rim and finish, Wilson had a variety of finishes including a spin and score with an extension past a shot blocker. Best when he was pushing the pace in the open floor, Wilson also showed the ability to knock down the mid-range pull-up as well.

Lots of young prospects stood out this weekend and Sesslar took smart shots and was efficient on Saturday morning. With the ability to stretch the floor from 3-point range off the catch, Sesslar is a guard teams had to close out hard to. In transition, Sesslar also had a breakaway layup and threaded the needle with a bounce pass between two defenders for a layup.
