2023-24 Week 4: SEPA New Names to Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is our review of <em>“new”</em> prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who made a name for themselves during Week 4 of the 2023-24 high school basketball season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2145489' first='Xavier' last='Fauntroy'] </strong><strong>– 6'0” / 2027 / West Catholic / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Shooting Guard:</strong> Last week Fauntroy pushed his way into to WC's starting lineup and after producing 15 points on the strength of 4.6 made threes per start, we think he will remain in the first five for a long time. His breakout game came against Bergen Catholic (NJ) when Fauntroy torched the nets for 7 threes (21 points overall). In addition to knocking home treys, Fauntroy can serve as a secondary ball handler. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2322827' first='Rashon' last='Giddens'] </strong><strong>– 6'1” / 2024 / Norristown / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Wing:</strong> When he is done catching touchdown passes and playing defensive back for the Norristown football team, Giddens takes to the hoops court as an athletic wing scorer with bounce. Over two games last week Giddens averaged 17.5 points and 10 rebounds per contest. He excels in transition. In the half court Giddens can score at all three levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2328798' first='Sean' last='Griffin'] </strong><strong>– 6'7” / 2025 / Bishop Shanahan / PA Hoops Academy / Combo Guard:</strong> Across Shanahan's three games leading into Christmas Day, Griffin posted 22.6 points and 8 boards per night. Included in that stellar stretch of play was a 30 point and 12 rebound double-double against Kennett. Griffin possesses impressive size, can produce points at every level and runs the floor well. So, we project that he will be a stretch-4 in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2226400' first='Travis' last='Reed Jr'] </strong><strong>– 6'4″ / 2024 / Roman Catholic / BW Elite / Shooting Guard:</strong> The former Frankford high school standout has quickly adapted to life on a PCL squad. During his last three games, Reed has splashed an average of 3 triples per night on his way to registering 12.5 points per run. The highlight of Reed's recent scoring outburst was his 16 points (4 threes) and 8 rebounds performance against Breton Prep (VA). As a nice bonus to his 3-point shooting, Reed is unstoppable off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1576724' first='Zion' last='Robinson'] </strong><strong>– 6'1” / 2026 / Math. Civics &amp; Sciences / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Combo Guard:</strong> Robinson is a quick guard with tremendous instincts and a deep bag of dribble moves. Thus, he can create for himself and teammates off the bounce. His dribble pull-up game is especially impressive. Robinson thrives in the open court too. This past week he posted 10 points (5-5 on FGAs) and handed out 3 dimes in a win over Holy Cross (NY). &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
