His size allows him to get into the lane and uses his gifts on defense to play the passing lanes. One of the better shooters in the state moved in from Georgia.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1858970' first='Ethan' last='Lathan'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The <strong>Old Dominion</strong> commit is a broad shouldered post player with high upside. He has an elite motor to rebound and challenges shots at the rim. He gets off the floor quickly to throw it down and is a good runner.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1449296' first='Thokbor' last='Majak'] Canyon International Academy NIBC</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The <strong>San Diego State</strong> commit is a top of the food chain shot blocker who you will often see do the chase down block.
