Emmot is a guard who can play multiple spots on the floor and is talented with the ball in his hands. He scores via the jumper often and has some talent as a slasher. He’s a great piece for this team.

Stone is a bigger wing who plays both sides of the ball. He’s an effort player who has a well built frame and can impact without the ball. A well coached player out of Staley.

Rollins is a primary playmaker who passes well and can hit tough shots off balance. He knows his role. Speeding the other teams PG up defensively is another part of the game where he can impact.
Marshall is a well built PG who will also play on the ball for this team. A talented defender that competes with a high motor. He had success during his sophomore season at Blue Springs South.
Paulding is one of, if not, the top player on this team. An all-around prospect that can pass, dribble, and shoot at 6’5. He plays above the rim and has a strong frame. Capable of being a big scorer in any game.
