Zack Pillow
Pillow plays basketball with the same mindset of corner back. He’s constantly in passing lanes baiting passers before showing his burst in the gap. The unsigned senior is a physical finisher in the halfcourt and has the speed to go unchanged in transition. Pillow mixed in foster and drive in kick Austin’s to round out his offensive production. Overall he’s a two way athlete who created havoc on both ends.
Deandre Newland
Newland is becoming the big we expect when we see a 7 footer with noticeable length. He’s moving better in space with an enhanced attention to detail on defense. Solid shot blocker who can cover ground near the rim.
Naryan Thomas

The 6’6 wing combines a mature frame with strength and body control. He passed the eye test with flying colors while displaying an athletic skill set. Thomas scored in transition and is hard to stop once he gets a head of steam. He finishes through contact and gets to the line.
Austin White

White has ultimate confidence in his three point shooting. He has range beyond the college line, shots of the dribble, the catch, and off ball movement. He shows flashes of translatable shot creation in isolation. Activity level on defense makes up for average defensive tools. White gets hot in a hurry.
Jaden Baker

Baker is a bonfire scorer. He’s pressuring his defender any time he has the ball. Downhill style led to several and1s and high single digits foul trips. Baker can takeover a game in the crunch. Made several key defensive plays down the stretch before knocking down the game winner. Plays at a pace that helps him on both ends of the floor.
