Finefrock is a sniper. His shot is not the prettiest but it does not matter because it is an automatic shot. He is one of the best off-ball movers I have seen in some time. He sets all his cuts up perfectly. He changes speed when he does not have the ball to create space. Shows the basketball IQ this kid has. He is an amazing catch-n-shoot player and comes off screens ready to pull. He needs no space to get his shot off. He has great confidence and the shot comes off his hands quick.
Highlights
Jalen Teamer
Jalen Teamer
Teamer seems like a coach’s dream. He plays his tail off every moment he is on the floor. He is very fundamentally sound. He does all the dirty work and even though he is a smaller kid. He puts himself in position for rebounds and loose balls. He is a very tough and disciplined kid. He is a good passer and creates offense for his team well.
Weekley is a good guard with great build for his position. He has a strong lower body which helps when driving and dictating contact. He gets to his spot and creates for teammates or himself. He is a smart player that does not make mistakes. He has good court vision and a feel for the game. He has a nice shot with no shooting pocket either. It was impressive to see on the some shots I noticed it. He makes soupy if you help him.

Dominic Francis
Dominic Francis
Francis is a super tough and strong forward who gets the job done for Ohio Reign – Phenom. He is a monster on the boards and plays with a very high motor. He is a good strong finisher in traffic and after trying to defend him for a little bit defenders seem to stop contesting so much. This is due to his physical play.
