He is at his best when he is in the open floor and knifing his way to the cup. He is young but has a good feel for the game and a good feel for using his body to shield off smaller defenders off the bounce and at the rim.&nbsp; He also has shown a two-way impact as he is an aggressive on-ball defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2732877,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Ericson-Washington-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Ericson-Washington-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2732877" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729436' first='Ericson' last='Washington']</strong> (6'0/CG/'27/Hoover)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ewash14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #70</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ericson is a young backcourt talent who is at his best when he has the ball in his hands and the freedom to look for his offense. He is a tough downhill attacking guard with burst. He is really good in the open court, pushing the pace and having court awareness. He is a heady guard who can initiate the offense and knock down the long ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2732881,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Bastian-Carroll-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Bastian-Carroll-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2732881" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729525' first='Bastian' last='Carroll']</strong> (5'10/PG/'27/Spain Park)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: bastian.carroll.219</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #72</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Bastian is listed as a PG with a lot of potential. He was one of the most impressive JV players I have seen thus far this year. He is a lefty with a very nice middle game. I would view him as a score-first PG because he showed an aggressive mindset on offense and was really tough off the bounce, finishing through contact and with craftiness at the rim. He also shoots the trey ball well, keeping defenders constantly guessing.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2732882,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-George-Hornbuckle-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-George-Hornbuckle-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2732882" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729597' first='George' last='Hornbuckle']</strong> (6'1/Wing/'27/Homewood)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: george.hornbuckle1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @GeorgHornbuckle</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #84</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">George is a wing who impacts the game with his perimeter shooting. He is really good at making the outside shot and keeping the floor spaced. He also can put the ball on the floor and get to his spots when he is run off the line. I look forward to seeing his continued growth, especially as a sniper from deep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2732883,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Sirarj-Armstead-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Sirarj-Armstead-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2732883" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729509' first='Sirarj' last='Armstead']</strong> (5'5/CG/'27/Ramsay)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: sirarjdiallo_.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #94</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Sirarj is a small, gritty lead guard who plays both ends of the floor. He still has a lot to learn about playing the point guard position, but his effort and energy cannot be denied. He does a good job beating his defender and getting paint touches, but sometimes, due to his size, he cannot make the necessary pass to open teammates; however, when he does get clear lines of sight, he does a good job distributing the rock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2732884,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Paxton-Ussery-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Paxton-Ussery-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2732884" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2472329' first='Paxton' last='Ussery']</strong> (6'3/PF|C/'27/Vestavia) 14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: hill.mccluney_14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #115</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Paxton is an inside presence who is one of the best I have seen on the JV this year. He brings energy and effort and plays with an extremely high motor every second he is on the floor. He impacts both ends of the floor and plays very physically, often unmatched by opponents. He has a way of pounding defenders in the paint and clearing space for his looks. He contests shots on defense, is a monster on the boards, and is on a trajectory where he will step up next year and contribute on the varsity level.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2732886,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Sayge-Tumlin-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/PH-Sayge-Tumlin-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2732886" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729601' first='Sayge' last='Tumlin']</strong> (5'8/PG/'27/Mortimer Jordan)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: stumlin.08</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @stumlin08</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #138</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Sayge is a solid point guard who takes care of the ball and facilitates the offense with poise. He is really good at creating off the bounce and making good reads while on the attack. He does a good job at getting paint touches and creating opportunities for his teammates as the defense often collapses on him. He does not put up a lot of shot attempts, but he can knock down the trey ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
