Long guard who was able to create chances on the offensive end for himself and others. Had a nice stroke going from the perimeter and was able to create space with good change of speeds in and out of his moves. Was able to use some of that length at the rim to finish with either hand and generally made good decisions with the rock.
Highlights
Another guard for Team Together with some nice size. Played with good pace and was able to consistently get paint touches and put pressure on the defense inside. Showed off a nice crossover to beat his man on the perimeter and was able to score and dish equally well.
One of the better shooters from the 16U division, the Oregon Premier guard was able to hit from all levels, splashing in 3s, showing some good footwork in the midrange off the bounce, and had the quick moves and balance to knife inside and create problems. Worked his way to the line a decent amount and converted those opportunities.
Highlights
One of the smallest players in the 16U division but was crafty and quick with the ball which allowed him to make an impact getting to the hoop. Used good fakes and was able to shoot gaps and play angles to find space for shots. Showed good all-around touch on his shots.
A high effort player for Fly Academy who made good, quick decisions with the ball and showcased a nice handle to pair with good vision while on the attack. Handled pressure well and had good timing on rip throughs and pickups while getting downhill.
