The 6'10 post runs the floor hard, setting himself for easy layups and dunks in transition. Soyoye knows how to get position down low and has a good touch around the basket. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and swats shots on the defensive end.

The 6'2 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes nicely around the rim. Maxey can also score in the mid-range and can knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He is a tough on-ball defender as he makes it hard for his man to get to their spot on the floor and gets deflections to generate turnovers. Maxey's ability to make plays at both ends of the floor will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1677090' first='Djiby' last='Ly'], 6'3 SG Patrick School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ly joins a loaded Patrick School backcourt, but that shouldn't stop him from making an impact on the hardwood this season. The 6'3 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get to the rim off the bounce and finishes strong around the basket. Ly moves well without the ball in his hands and can also score in the mid-range. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and pushes the pace well in transition. Ly is an athletic guard prospect who will make plays with the ball in his hands during the 2024-25 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1130841' first='Kyree' last='Latimer'], 6'3 CG Lawrenceville</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Latimer is doing a postgrad season at Lawrenceville, which makes him a prospect to track over the course of the season. The 6'3 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the basket and can make shots through contact. Latimer uses his size to see over his defender and can find his open teammates in the halfcourt. He can also play off the ball and plays with good anticipation on the defensive end. Latimer's ability to play on and off the ball will help his game over the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2504919' first='Jeremiah' last='Webb'], 5'11 PG Patrick School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2504930' first='Bryson' last='Lopez'], 6'6 PF Arts</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2504936' first='Saliou' last='Diohkane'], 6'3 SG Immaculata</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411624' first='Peter' last='Mauro'], 5'10 PG Life Center Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2467539' first='Caleb' last='Brown'], 6'4 SG Teaneck</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
