<p>There are a lot of great traditions around the holiday season. One of those is the presents under the tree. Well, there are a lot of excellent basketball players that would be great gifts to find under the tree for coaches at the next level. We're going to look at some juniors that would be great "presents under tree" for a college program.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A lot of coaches would be thrilled to find Theodile under their tree. He's a bouncy forward that just makes plays. He can be a powerful finisher under the rim and can flush it home with 1 or 2 hands. Theodile is a menace in the open floor with his ability to fill a wing and finish over the rim. He's been putting up some impressive offensive numbers so far this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A college coach is going to get a very nice surprise some morning when Slack joins their program. The versatile guard can play on and off the ball. He's an underrated overall athlete that has tremendous lift on his jumper and one of the best re-jumps in the state. Slack is a coachable team first type of player. I've said it a thousand times and I'll keep saying it - This young man is a legitimate D1 prospect.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Pratl has been a rankings riser as of late and for good reason. He's a versatile offensive player that has a nice looking jumper that he hits at a high percentage. But he can also push the pace and make plays in the open floor. The best part of Pratl's game though, might come between the ears. He has a high basketball IQ and plays the game the right way.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Gugle is going to be a great gift for a college basketball coach. The bouncy wing has so much going for him as a player and prospect. Gugle can effectively defend multiple positions in high school, but I can see him as a lockdown defender on the wing in college. Gugle is a tremendous rebounder and can play at any pace. He's a coachable young man that will be a great locker room addition.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">We'll stick to TCC with Rademacher. He made huge strides this summer and is reaping the benefits with a breakout high school season. Rademacher is a true team player that's willing to contribute in whatever way his team needs. He hit some huge shots this summer and is hitting them at a high percentage this season.</p>
