Blakeman’s combination of athleticism, shooting, and size is lethal. He has deep range and can shoot over defenders, which helped him make 38% of his 3-point attempts this season. He looks to throw down posterizing dunks when he gets near the basket. His high motor is displayed while corralling rebounds on both ends.
Few players in the class have Birney’s scoring ability. He can finish around the basket, has a consistent mid-range jumper, and can shoot from distance off the dribble and catch. This season he averaged 25.9 ppg and collected his 2,000th career point. He also gathers rebounds at a high rate.
Highlights
Hoskins is a knockdown shooter with a quick release. He showcased his ability to shoot off the dribble and catch while draining 9/13 from beyond the arc in a game. When the defense takes away his shot, he can drive to the basket to score or set up his teammates. He utilizes his athleticism and size to rebound as well.
Busson brings the toughness he plays with on the gridiron to the hardwood. He is a strong, athletic driver that attacks the basket in transition and the half-court. He provides extra possessions for his team by relentlessly crashing the boards. His defensive ability makes it tough for the opponent to score efficiently.
Thompson is a crafty scorer with great athleticism and size. After driving to the basket, he can finish through contact or shoot over his defender. Additionally, he has a reliable jumper from 3-point range so the defense can’t give him too much space. His passing ability allows him to find open teammates for assists.
