<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, the&nbsp;<em>NEPSAC Profiles</em>&nbsp;series continues with a look at the Kingswood Oxford School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Located in West Hartford, Connecticut, Kingswood Oxford is a coeducational, private day school that competes in the&nbsp;<em>NEPSAC B</em>&nbsp;division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kingswood Oxford will be led this winter by [player_tooltip player_id='2341412' first='DJ' last='Biggins']. A big lead guard, Biggins does a great job of runing the show for the Wyverns. A 20+ point per game scorer last year, he does a great job of balancing his scoring with his faciliitating and profiles as one of the best guards in the <em>NEPSAC B</em> division this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are seven more prospects that should have a major impact for the Wyverns:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2634203' first='Tyler' last='Brown']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A speedy guard, Brown is at his best on the defensive end of the floor where he can pressure for 94' and lock down opposing ball handlers. On the other end, he knocks down shots from behind the arc and has a quick first step off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2696646' first='Ethan' last='Genetti']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big wing, Genetti stands at 6'6" and can do a bit of everything on the offensive end of the floor. He's capable of posting up smaller defenders around the rim and does a nice job of dragging big defenders out of the paint and knocking down perimeter jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2546951' first='Justice' last='Hanna']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A college level shooter, Hanna keeps defenses honest with his ability to knock down shots, but also has impressive burst as a driver. A high academic guard, he's able to play on or off the ball while also defending multiple positions on the other end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2568462' first='Zack' last='Munawar']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'7", Munawar has the ability to make a major impact in the paint for the Wyverns. He has great length, good instincts as a shot blocker, and the motor to collect a high number of rebounds. He can score in the mid-range, pass out of the post, and score over either shoulder around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Will Parkhouse</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parkhouse is a big guard that can stretch the floor with his shooting ability. He does a great job of running the floor in transition, gets his feet set early, and attacks bad closeouts to finish strong at the rim. He's another prospect that profiles as a multi-positional defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Travis Parsons</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6'5" forward, Parsons fills the role of a physical producer. He sets great screens, rolls hard to the rim, finishes through contact, and does a great job of controlling the glass. He's capable of guarding up a position and doesn't back down in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2553803' first='Stryckland' last='Whittley-Ligon']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring wing, Whittley-Ligon has the ability to get it done at all three levels with a quick first step to get down hill, the handle to get into his mid-range jumper, and the shot to knock 3's down in bunches. Defensively, he's aggressive in passing lanes and does a good job of racking up steals and deflections.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
