<p class="text-gray-700">Santicola thrived on the offensive end scoring in an array of ways off the bounce, as a slasher, around the block. He is really patient and took high percentage shots. He was able to make several trips to the foul line converting frequently. Santicola scored 25 of his team's 49 points. He also showed flashes from behind the arc. I like how Mikey let the game come to him and does a good job using his angles to get to different spots on the floor. He shagged several rebounds and looked to start the break. He also found ways to get others involved. Santicola turned defense to offense. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Turner provided a spark in a complimentary role for Moon Area (PA). He added 10 points and showed that he could be a threat as a paint toucher. He converted at the foul line. He scored inside the painted area. Turner was able to show that he could facilitate. He would be a great pickup at the small college level. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Stuart is an all-around utility guard who does whatever is needed to help his team win. He had a knack for making hustle plays. He has a strong base that helps him hold his ground on the defensive end. He added some scoring depth. Stuart was active on the glass and was able to find his open teammates and get them the ball. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bruce-McCrommon continues to develop as a player. He found ways to get to the foul line and converted often from there. He does a good job attacking downhill with a quick first step. Bruce-McCrommon made a few athletic plays around the rim. His athleticism can make a play in a matter of seconds. He needs to work on getting his body stronger. Staying home on defense end and playing off two feet when on the attack. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Nnacho is an old school post who thrives inside the paint. He scored at the foul line was able to finish on the interior. He has an active motor and plays bigger than his size. He is a space eater with his shear size. He added 6 points. Nnacho needs to improve on staying home when on defense and not get into foul trouble. </p>
