Micah Dawkins
Micah is an athletic, dynamic scorer who can run the floor and get up above to rim with serious intent to throw it down. He is a gifted natural athlete. He is a lob or low block threat with an extensive wingspan and vertical. Shows great hands at receiving passes from penetrating guards and can turn that into a two-hand dunk easily for secure points. Very agile jumper with good timing for put back finishes. Shows flashes of solid foot work and some quick turnaround shots near the restricted area. He plays with pace when controlling the ball looking for jump shots with the ability to rise over defenders.
JJ is a calculated playmaker that has a smooth, accurate jump shot. He is a spot up threat but is just as skilled at putting the ball on the wood and getting shots for himself. He can get inside the paint looking to finish through defenders and get to the line. He can extend plays beyond the arc with his 3 point shot making ability. He can shoot in motion, frequently scoring over tough contests, increasing the difficulty to guard him.
Highlights
Price is an athletic skilled scorer. He can get downhill with speed and change direction and pace easily with the ball. He plays well out of the screen, whether he’s looking to find an open roll man or he’s seeking a pull up jump shot he’s adept at getting both. He is athletic enough to get down the lane for a dunk or curl around defenders to finish with finesse. He can stop on a dime for accurate shots, and he hits those frequently off balance.
Butler is a tall and lengthy rim protector. He likes to roam the paint with a 6’11 wingspan looking for blocks and deflections. He plays well in zone defenses and help side protection. He creates turnovers inside and looks to get the ball ahead on the fast break with solid outlet passing vision. On offense he has a decent touch on shots from around 15 feet and in, will turn and face to knock down soft spot jumpers and looks for hustle buckets and clean up points on the low block.

Standing at a towering, imposing height of 6’10, Kaden is a mean rebounder that can also run the floor and finish in traffic. He can pick up a double-double consistently from hustle boards and putbacks. He is a lob threat already but if he increases his vertical it’ll be even more dangerous. He can defend the paint well going up and meeting attackers at their highest point. He is a vocal defender that calls out screens and switches alike. Has some touch around the rim and shows good hands receiving the ball inside. He is putting together a nice club season so far.
