Primas can play any position you put him in because of his athletic ability and long size allowing him to guard anyone while also being able to bring up the ball. Primas looks to control the inside game looking to take advantage of mismatches. He can fly in for the slam cutting to the rim and can grab any rebound that comes his way. He is quick on his feet giving him the ability to switch onto anyone when playing defense.
Highlights
Griffin is a defensive stopper who has the potential to turn into an elite two-way player. His defensive ability to guard both the perimeter and painted area gives him the most flexibility at the small forward position. Griffin has excellent timing on his blocks and good recovery time. His offense gets better every season including his three-point shot. He thrives in catch-and-shoot situations and can put the ball on the floor to get the rim if needed.
Highlights
Hibbert can score the basketball in almost every single way it seems. His ability to stop on a dime and hit the pull-up shot in the midrange makes it tough for defenders to guard. Hibbert is quick with the ball in his hands getting to the rim at will with his soft touch. His shooting ability from deep is what makes it difficult in how defenses play him because he can shoot and make shots from anywhere.
Chevalier is a scoring machine that can hit any shot the defense sets in front of him. He has tight and quick handles allowing him to get anywhere he wants to on the court. He can attack the rim at any given moment and likes to break down his defenders to create more space for his jump shots. Chevalier plays defense at a high level too with him picking anyone up full-court and constantly applying pressure to create turnovers for his team.
