He is a bigger guard who is very skilled. He can rattle in threes off the catch with a pretty looking stroke with range. He is best as a standstill shooter and he is a sneaky good passer. He will crash the glass and get boards as a plus rebounder for his size and gets blocks from behind on the weak side. He poured in 20+ points. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2198882' first='Kam' last='Robinson'] AZ Compass Prep Grind</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick and fast pure point guard is a defensive dynamo.

He is also a big time passer who will drive and kick it or will dump it off to a post player.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1042714' first='Archie' last='Graves IV'] Skyline Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A point guard who can score and defend.
