His combination of size and strength makes it clear he can compete with kids older than himself. Johnson showed good instincts around the basket for rebounds and as a passer. Has some ball handling skills that makes it seem he could play the wing position as he matures. His jump shot looks good, and shoots the ball from the outside with relative ease. Johnson does some advanced skills you want out of a player that plays inside as a forward or big man like holding the ball high when rebounding, or making moves around the basket.     #196 [player_tooltip player_id='2400957' first='Tate' last='Sunde'] - Good outside shot, good instincts, seems to really know what to do, and how to do it. Sunde's biggest growth will come with getting stronger that'll allow him more freedom of movement on the perimeter.     #146 [player_tooltip player_id='2524106' first='Wyatt' last='Williams'] - The 2029 Andover guard can play the lead ball handling guard position, and while in the games I watched Williams his jump shot didn't fall he made it a point to get into the paint and make short shots or lay-ups. He makes the right passes, and moves the ball. Williams doesn't have great size so working on strength and getting stronger should be his priority.     #219 [player_tooltip player_id='2521685' first='Tristan' last='Latimore'] - Latimore plays like a young player who's not working with a trainer over and over working on the same moves. He has a natural ability with the ball. He gets to the hoop and makes his lay-ups. As he matures, refinement to his game will just make him that much better.     #200 [player_tooltip player_id='2394252' first='Orlando' last='Hass'] - Good size guard that can be good in the secondary ball handler role. Hass is a 2029 guard and six-foot-one-inches tall, so difficult for players his age or younger to guard him going to the basket. Shooting from the outside he gets good rotation and his shot motion looks smooth. Hass made a nice pass in a tight window around the basket that led directly to a score.     #182 [player_tooltip player_id='2775427' first='Paulo' last='Neish'] - Neish a five-foot-eight-inch 2029 guard showed ability dribbling with his off hand in space. Neish particularly had jiggle with his handle that with some work could make him more productive. When he hit a spotted up 3-pointer in the corner he shot looked smooth. He shot with one hand on the ball and had a good follow through.     #222 Preston Tyler a six-foot-two-inch forward from Woodbury showcased some instincts around the rim blocking a shot and rebounding. Tyler gave off a natural instinct to grab the ball and go which should further his ability as a ball handler. Tyler needs to work on finishing at the rim.     #201 [player_tooltip player_id='2391153' first='Tolu' last='Taiwo'] is 2029 six-foot-one-inch wing/forward hybrid. Taiwo plays offensive inside like a forward using size, strength and maturity around the rim. Defensively he uses size, quickness and lateral ability to limit guards. Potential as one of those types who can guard up and punish smaller defenders offensively. In the open floor Taiwo has some ball handling skills in the open floor and in the half-court setting.     #216 [player_tooltip player_id='2779639' first='Abdullahi' last='Guled'] - Showed ability to make jump shots spotted up and off the dribble on two long range shots he made. The dribble pull-up looked fluid, the left hand dribbled into his shot. How Guled handled the ball makes me think he has potential as a lead ball handler and showed willingness to move the basketball.     #46 [player_tooltip player_id='2763826' first='Garrett' last='Chalupsky'] is a 2031 guard that versus the older kids held his own. Can handle the ball, and his shot looks good. He wasn't overly pushing forward, and didn't need two hands to get the ball to the basket.     #27 [player_tooltip player_id='2519275' first='Austin' last='Sturges'] is a 2030 guard that has a good looking shot. Passed the ball well and moved on the court like a high level 7th grader. From last spring he has matured a bit, looks a bit stronger and has some more height.
