<p class="text-gray-700">Samuels does a good job of attracting defenses onto him and getting others the ball. He is an elite paint toucher. He can score around the bucket and makes a living from the foul line. He is always a threat as a scorer. Samuels plays with good energy. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Giant thrived getting to an array of different spots in the two games I saw of him. He has long rangy arms which allow to be in passing lanes and extend over defenders on the attack. He uses his speed to slash. He has a nose for making plays. The southpaw showed he could score from deep. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Nelson showed that he could navigate to different places on the floor. He was able score from the mid-range. He showed his ability to move the ball. Nelson didn't get sped up and played with great pace and control. He added double figure scoring. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Iscandari showed he could attack with ease. He did a good job of facilitating and finding others. Iscandari rebounded well and can push the pace once he secures the ball. He was able to the foul line. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Demus has good positional size and has long arms. He was able to score from behind the arc. Demus added depth as a secondary scorer for Imani Christian. His best basketball is still ahead of him. He moved well without the ball and is a threat as a slasher. </p>
