He muscled his way to rebounds, erased several shots in the paint, and brought an all-around physical presence to his team.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450678' first='Damir' last='Arp'] | 6'2 G</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arp displayed a mature game off-the-bounce and played with intensity. Besides the two threes he cashed, he used his strength to explode into the lane and finish at the rim with force.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450699' first='Eric' last='Green Jr'] | 5'9 G</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With his urgent yet calm demeanor, Green Jr let the game come to him. He played within himself, creating turnovers, pushing the pace in transition, and setting the table for others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450658' first='Jack' last='McMullin'] | 6'5 W</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The wing shooter was cold to start the game, but that didn't stop him from competing for boards and on defense. Then he got hot in the second half, drilling two threes off-the-catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450782' first='Rowan' last='Phillips'] | 6'4 G</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Phillips got extremely assertive for a stretch and unleashed his advanced game. He put the ball in the hoop on nifty drives and well-timed cuts off-ball, and hit a huge step-back three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450654' first='Demere' last='Salisbery'] | 6'2 G</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing at a different pace than almost everybody else on both ends, everything he did with the ball in his hands had a purpose. Salisbery rocked side to side before tilting the defense off-the-dribble.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450669' first='Carter' last='Smith'] | 6'3 G</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Already having played varsity as an eighth grader, Smith made a point to get two feet in the paint and score at the cup. The lanky combo guard put his hands on the rim a few times on dunks.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450668' first='Jakhi' last='Williams'] | 6'5 F</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a singular focus, Williams worked the boards like the rent was past due. He rebounded his way to a double-double, did the trench work to help him squad win the final game, and got the MVP award.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Follow me on the socials @ CGraham_sports</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
