Few Prospects to watch in PIAA 5A State Tournament

These are a few prospects at the 5A level of the PIAA state tournament fans should keep an eye on as play beings on Friday night.    Donovan is a threat from behind the arc where he can get hot and make shots at a high clip. He also finds ways to turn defense to offense. Donovan can be in the right spots on the floor to get rebounds. Donovan shows flashes as a facilitator but I would like to see him be more of a threat making others better. Donovan will be a prospect who the small college level flock to.     Francis is a downhill bully who makes a living getting paint touches that turn into offensive scoring chances. He takes what the defense gives him frequently. He can makes shots from behind the arc. Francis also shows the ability to make plays for others with his passing and has improved his ball skills. Francis flat out knows how to play and has a good IQ of the game. He is someone who will see heavy traffic from college coaches in the coming months.     Shaffer who has made his mark as a prospect as a perimeter dead-eye from behind the arc. He is adding more to his game as time progresses. Shaffer has good size for the lead guard spot. He has shown that he can put the ball on the deck and get to different spots. Shaffer is showing more confidence taking advantage of mismatches he has on the offensive end on smaller defenders. Shaffer is tracking as a scholarship prospect with continued progression and consistency.     Sow is a rim rattling post who makes a living above the rim on either end of the floor. He has great timing when going up to alter a shot. He is very active on the glass and finds ways to secure rebounds. He runs the floor like a deer. Sow is an effective screen & roller in the two man game in the half court. He was a great early pickup up for Tennessee-Martin and wouldn't be surprised if he makes an immediate impact the OVC.     Sweeney is a guard who makes his presence felt on or off the ball. He can motor to different spots with the ball in his hands. Sweeney has shown promise as a 3pt shooter making shots off the ball as a catch and shooter. He can also make plays for others with his vision of the floor. He has a good IQ of the game and reacts to different situations on the fly. He is coming off a big performance in the PIAA district 3 5A championship game.     Tisinger is a prolific scorer who really does a good job hunting his own shot and taking what the defense gives him. He also does a good job of setting others up for success and lets the game come to him organically. Tisinger can be a microwave scorer when he is really feeling it. He does a good job getting to the foul line. He operates well out of the two man game and uses ball screens with ease.     N'Diaye is a power post who thrives in and around the painted area of the floor. He does a good job fighting for position inside. N'Diaye is active on the glass and comes up with 2nd chance efforts. He is able to alter shots on the defensive end. N'Diaye runs the floor with ease. He is a walking double double without a play being drawn up. He spends a lot of time at the foul line.
