Nwapa showed a ton of potential and really popped with his rebounding. He has long arms and good upper body strength which resulted in him grabbing a ton of in traffic rebounds. He displayed a good feel for the game and a high IQ, making some nice passes from the high post.
Highlights
Love high energy guys and Williams certainly fit that bill. He had multiple blocks, making an impact in the game I watched. He’s tough, and used his energy, motor and strength to provide an interior presence for his team.
Williams got himself on the radar with a solid performance. He wasn’t flashy, but he was effecient. He made his money, knocking down a few free throw line jumpers, and boosted his scoring with some finishes around the rim.
Highlights
Franklin was flying around the ball all day. The active forward impacted the game I watched, with his rebounding and interior defense. He showed decent lift, especially on his second jump, and stood out with his ability to grab both in traffic and out of area boards.
Pharris was one of the best looking 2027 prospects I saw on the day. He shot it well, hitting multiple threes in the game I saw. In addition to his sniper ability, the freshmen showed a nice floor game, hitting teammates with a few dimes off the bounce. He has good size for his position and his sharpened skill level, gives him an opportunity to have an impact on the varsity level.
Randall stands closer to 6’5 than 6’4 so he was not difficult to identify. He showed that he has more than size. The skilled forward displayed a solid handle displaying some nice between the legs COD’s. His length allowed him to control the glass in the game I saw.
