Pertile will play with his back to the basket and mix it up when needed. He's best used as a mover-screener and a pick - pop guy. Alexander looks to work on the floor with a blue-collar attitude at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2207644' first='Randy' last='Robinson'] </strong> - Williston-Elko HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Randy is built like a bull in a China shop at times.

He has mobile feet to move around the floor and work the paint. Randy can step-out and shoot the 15-17 foot jumper at times. Robinson has soft hands to catch anything thrown in his direction. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
