Pacciarelli is a sharpshooter with two-way potential that can affect the game in many different ways. At 6’3″ he can shoot over most defenders with his quick and high release. He knows how to get to his spots and likes to come off of off-ball screens on the perimeter to get open three-point shots. Pacciarelli is excellent when it comes to running the pick-n-pop and has quick feet to find different ways to get open.
Hudson is an elite defender who can make plays on the offensive end. He will pick anyone up full-court and has quick hands and instincts to get after the ball. On the offensive end, he uses his 6’1″ size to get into the heart of the defense to finish around the rim. He can absorb the contact well giving him the best chance to finish the and-one play. Hudson will look to get to his spots within the flow of an offense as he does not force any bad shots.
Spencer has turned into a nice 3-and-D player and will do anything to help his team win. At 6’2″ he can guard multiple positions and slides his feet laterally well making it tough to get around him. On the offensive end, he will look to get his shots within catch-and-shoot situations as he is a knockdown shooter from deep. Spencer has tight handles and can weave in and out of defenses looking to get shots in the midrange area.
Tassey is a Swiss-army knife out there on the court and can change and affect the game in any fashion. At 6’5″ he has great handles to get anywhere he wants to on the court. He can hit tough fading-away jumpers in the midrange and attack the rim with force over anyone. Tassey crashes the glass like a center and passes like a point guard leaving very few holes in his game as he can also defend every position with his size.
Highlights
Semiraglio is your modern-day spot-up catch-and-shoot shooter from beyond the arc as he must be guarded the second he passes the half-court line. He is constantly running looking to fatigue defenders chasing him around as he comes off of off-ball screens. Semiraglio can also play defense at a high level with his ability to pickpocket players clean to come up with multiple steals in the game consistently.
