D'Marcus can get the ball to the cup or simply pullup and knockdown shots from all 3 levels on the floor. His confidence and mid-range game were really working today. D'Marcus is looking to have a big season this year Westwood HS. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Need a Shooter?</strong>: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2447621' first='Jayden' last='Crews']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1220041' first='Malik' last='Tinsley']</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2623975,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0382.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0382.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2623975" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crews really came out on fire knocking down several three-pointers before you could even blink today. Jayden has a quick shot release and really understands good shot selection along the way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2623971,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0418.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0418.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2623971" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malik is best suited off the ball and knocking down shots out on the wing. Tinsley was able to do just that today with his performance. Malik gets good rotation on his shot, and it looks like it's going in every time he releases it from his hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Runs the Show</strong>: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848083' first='Talan' last='Staley']</strong>,<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1714849' first='Damani' last='White']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1333159' first='Khristian' last='Bruce'] </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2623968,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0436.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0436.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2623968" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Staley has really seemed to grow a bit in height and filled out a bit more. Talan plays with a nice even keel on the floor. Staley a pass first point guard was able to showcase the old school bounce pass here today. Talan does a nice job of recognizing defenses while bringing the ball up the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2623970,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0420.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0420.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2623970" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>White likes to keep the rock low to the ground. Damani really takes care of the ball well while playing up-tempo. He will get the ball into the paint or simply penetrate-kick along the way to a open teammate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2623977,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0319.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0319.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2623977" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bruce today played with a really good demeanor better than what I've witnessed in the past. Khristian has all the tools to be a very solid guard for sure has settled in with the Tigers this year. He was able to finish at the bucket with his left-hand while using good body control to the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Smaller Guards Making Impact</strong>: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2044349' first='Trevon' last='Johnson']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1605781' first='Mario' last='James'] </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2623976,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0348.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0348.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2623976" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trevon is an athletic guard from Conway HS.

Johnson showed to have some bounce along the way today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2623973,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0402.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0402.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2623973" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>James a left-handed guard is quick with the rock in his hands. Mario was constantly around the ball here today to make a play. He was able to change gears to get by defenders while constantly communicating with his teammates on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Best When Driving</strong>: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1314263' first='Jaden' last='Williams']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848082' first='Kenton' last='Caldwell']</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2623972,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0415.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0415.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2623972" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams plays at a small Class 1A program at Allendale-Fairfax HS. Jaden a left-handed guard found himself in drive mode all day long here. Williams was able to get his slender-sleek frame to the bucket at times today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2623969,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0422.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/IMG_0422.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2623969" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caldwell a left-handed guard-wing from Newberry likes to play downhill. Kenton will look to stalk the baseline when needed will look to pop from the perimeter. Caldwell plays off two feet very well and really brings effort every time out on the hardwood. Kenton plays football in the fall for the Bulldogs as a Quarterback. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
