After staring at <em>Whitman-Hanson</em>, he'll look to make a big impact in the <em>NEPSAC</em>. He's developed his mid-range game, can attack the basket off the bounce, and does a great job of pursuing the ball on the offensive glass. His motor, positional size, and toughness should allow him to make an immediate impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2547124' first='Tave' last='Cloutier']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An <em>All-NEPSAC Honorable Mention</em> last winter, Cloutier is an athletic, dynamic combo guard that knows how to score the basketball. He's a crafty finisher in the paint, has impressive floor vision, and can consistently knock down shots from behind the arc. Expect him to have some impressive scoring games this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2546912' first='Carter' last='Galley']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably the top scorer in <em>Maine</em> last winter, Galley heads to <em>Kents Hill</em> with a reputation for putting the ball in the basket. One of a few prospects in New England who can claim to have a 50-point game at the high school level, he's a tough three level scorer that isn't afraid to hunt his shots. He's physically strong, can finish over size in the paint, and is quick to get into his shot off the bounce. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2409546' first='Cohen' last='Galley']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A star on both the gridiron and hardwood last year, he joins his twin brother at <em>Kents Hill</em> for a postgrad year this winter. A high IQ guard that thrives as both a scorer and a playmaker, he has great floor vision, plays at a fast pace, and isn't afraid to take over games when he needs to. He's a tough defender, does a good job of rebounding his position, and continuously makes winning plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2568355' first='Jack' last='Gedroge']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Only a <em>sophomore</em>, he should play a major part in the <em>Kents Hill</em> frontcourt this winter. Gedroge does a great job of running the floor in transition, is a solid off ball cutter, and has proven to be a strong rim finisher. He's a good athlete, plays with a high motor, and has the ability to control the glass while offering quality rim protection on the defensive end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2547094' first='Nate' last='Hebert']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another postgrad that makes his way to <em>Kents Hill</em> from the high school ranks in <em>Maine</em>, Hebert is a gifted wing that can really score the basketball. Once strictly a three point threat, he's done a great job of rounding out his offensive game and has become a consistent three level scorer. He's great in spot up situations, can get into his pull up game whenever he wants, and finishes with either hand at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396796' first='Jayden' last='Kim']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A diminutive lead guard, Kim is one of the holdovers from last year's squad. A playmaker first, he has a terrific handle and the ability to play at different speeds. With a quick first step, he's capable of getting by the initial defender and drawing in the defense, he finishes over length in the paint, and can maker jumpers off the bounce. Defensively, he can really sit in a stance, move his feet, and guard all 94'.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2571895' first='Lincoln' last='Malcore']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'8", the class of 2028 prospect should be the man in the middle for <em>Kents Hill</em> this season. He's athletic, mobile, and both physical and long; showing the ability to use all of his physical tools on both ends of the floor. He does a good job as a rim runner, sets solid screens, and has a good set of hands in the paint. He should only continue to get better with more reps and has the chance to make an immediate impact this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
