Hart is a two-way power forward that can dominate in all areas of the game. At 6’8″ he can run the floor like a guard and can get good open looks running down the floor. He has a soft touch around the rim and uses his strong upper body to draw contact inside the painted area. Hart can guard multiple positions and has excellent lateral movement making it tough for ball handlers to get by him. He can crash the glass at will and does a great job of boxing out bigger players.
Wucherpfennig is an all-around player who does not have any significant weaknesses in his game. His ability to play with his back to the basket while also being able to shoot three-pointers is what makes it difficult to contain him. He is also an underrated playmaker and looks to always find the open man before he goes into scoring mode. Wucherpfennig runs the pick-n-roll and pick-n-pop to perfection seemingly always finding spaces to get open.
Highlights
Langevine is a back-to-the-basket type of player who can get creative with his post moves down low. He has an effective drop-step move he uses down low and a soft touch around the rim allowing him to score easy baskets. On the defensive end, he can guard on both the perimeter and the inside because of his strong upper body and quick lateral movement. Langevine will sky in for rebounds and has excellent timing on offensive putbacks.
Anyoura is an athletic rim-running forward who plays both ends of the floor at a high and intense level. As a high flyer, Anyoura can fly in for rebounds and putbacks on almost any missed shot. He seems to have great timing on his jumps when going to perform a highlight play. He likes to seek contact when attacking the rim but also has a soft touch that allows him to get the ball up over taller players. On the fastbreak, he will look to hunt your shot down with him swatting it into the stands.
Highlights
Middleton is a physical player who plays bigger than he is. At 6’5″ he can guard taller and bigger players and does a great job of boxing them out and securing tough rebounds. He has excellent timing on his contests while not fouling. On offense, he sets hard screens and rolls to the rim nicely to receive passes only he can catch. Middleton can finish around the rim with ease and can go up strong over taller players.
