Continue ReadingI’m going to keep it real, I’m not familiar with each player on this squad. So I’m going to cover the ones I’ve seen and known, and those I’ve yet to see, I’ll simply plug their names in below for your sake of catching the full roster. Let’s drop in!
Guard Play:
Coming at you with a plethora of guards who can create and finish plays, this squad is perimeter heavy. Featuring 5’10 Byron Robertson, 5’10 Paul Comba, and 6’0 Ben Koh at the helm, these three understand how to generate O. Byron is someone whose passing greases everything, understanding when and how to get guys open looks, plus, he has savvy off-ball movement and hits his open shots. Koh and Comba are creators who find looks for themselves with strong handles and dynamic scoring, able to drop shots at each level of the floor. That scoring touch forces help, and they see the next pass. 5’10 Mike Mannix, 6’0 Jackson Hoag, and 5’11 Miles Kenny are plug and play guys that operate well off the rock, finding gaps on cuts and spot ups to hit their shots or moving the rock quickly to keep the ball popping. Hoag comes with a balance of on-ball organization and off-ball wit, so I the balance and flexibility he provides.
Inside/Out Play:
This is where my knowledge of the team drops off. I’m familiar with two of their guys that lean into the wing, forward roles. 6’3 Van Mosley is a glue guy that finds open shots because he knows where to be and when as the defense rotates or when in action as a cutter or screener. Oli (Oliver) Avdibegovic is a lanky 6’6, bringing the size inside to affect shots. A dirty work type guy, Oli’s the one protecting the rim, snatching rebounds around the iron, working for 2nd chance buckets, and running the floor.
Catch these guys this month at the Hoop Group New England Jam Fest May 11th/12th in MA. or at Gymrat on May 25th-26th. June 15th-16th they’ll be at the Zero Gravity Summer Tip-Off in MA. and in July they’ll pull up on the Hoop Group Atlantic City Jam Fest 7/10-7/12. Lock in!
