Kenxton Perkins
Kenxton Perkins
Perkins displayed versatility Sunday. The son of Kendrick Perkins plays like he have been around the game his whole life. Provide inside-outside presence with his ability to create for others and impose his will on the boards. Understand the correct read to make in the middle of the paint. Brick Wall on screen steady getting guards open. Great read and react skills to make his physical skillset.
Niles Neumann
Niles Neumann
Neumann was cooking like grandma preparing Sunday dinner. Can get his shot off against taller and bigger opponents. No matter how tight of on-ball defense they play, Neumann have developed a skill to get his release off. Probably playing against your two older brothers will help develop that.What does unnoticed is his basketball IQ. Knowing what pass to make, how to play his man, and how to get himself and others open.
JP Farr
JP Farr
Farr was shooting the lights out the gym ! Defense have problems knowing where he is due to constantly moving without the ball. Relocated to the open spot making it easier for the his team to find him. Patient when waiting for the right time to run off screens freeing himself top to get easy looks on the perimeter.
Kamden McGaskey
Kamden McGaskey
McGaskey did great breaking down his man off the dribble and getting into the paint area. Change his pace with his dribble that is hard for defenders to keep in front. Made opponents look like cones at times. Good at finding the open cutter on the baseline along with driving and kicking to the open shooter.
Devin King
Devin King
Playing for C.O.E. (Crash Out Elite) troll team he made with some of his teammates, but they played well together plus King showed potential. Lengthy wing player that is good at slashing and finishing at the rim. Delivered in clutch moments to keep his team in the game. Kicks the ball ahead to open teammates for easy scoring opportunities.
