For Sherwood, [player_tooltip player_id='2242139' first='Khalil' last='Wilson'] was the standout performer, contributing 17 points in a strong effort.    The New Mexico State signee bought such an impact to the court and should be a huge piece City College this year. Not only does he bring the size needed at 6'5, but it is also his willingness to compete and fight for his team. When they were down 15 he continue to play with a high motor, got on the boards (7 rebounds) and offensively showed his ability to score from levels leading the Knights in scoring with 20 points on 6-17 from the field. Smith certainly gets it done on both sides of the ball.       After watching his consistent production throughout the season, it would be difficult to say any negatives about Jordan Rowlett. He did legitimately everything as a focal point and go to scorer in the second half. Scoring 9 points on 4-5 shooting from the floor and knocking 3 pt jumper. Whether creating, setting up others, or applying nonstop scoring pressure from all levels, Rowlett delivered. He filled it up as a scorer and contained his assignment well defensively.       Hammond is another guard that can fill it up and do so quickly. Didn't have a good shooting game (3-13FG /1-4 3pt FG). He is at his best when he is playing on the ball, allowing him to get to his spots on the court and knocking it down from deep. Time after time, he just has a knack for finding the open spots in the defense and having a tremendous amount of confidence from behind the arc, letting it fly, and can do so quickly. But he isn't a one-trick pony, making plays off the dribble as well. Showed to be clutch throughout the game going 8-8 from the Free Throw line and finish the game with 15 points.     Have watched [player_tooltip player_id='2722710' first='Camari' last='Stewart'] countless times over this year, he never fails to impress with his motor and physically overwhelming nature. Few guys can match his strength, toughness, athleticism, and sheer level of competitiveness. Stewart is a versatile wing that can operate in a variety of different roles. He's a great finisher and reliable midrange threat who plays well through contact on both ends of the floor. Stewart excels in transition, defends multiple positions, and rebounds (9 in the game). Plays bigger than his listed height. He should be a useful piece City College next year.     It doesn't take long to recognize that [player_tooltip player_id='2242139' first='Khalil' last='Wilson'] came in ready to play in the 1st half. Was instrumental in Sherwood having a 15-point lead in the first half. He's a tough, crafty guard with a polished scoring arsenal shooting 6-9 from the field and going 2-5 from the 3pt line to finish the game with 17 points. The ability to create for himself and others was impactful. Wilson applied pressure from all levels and mixed it up at a strong rate, but is arguably at his best when attacking the midrange and hitting midrange pull-ups. He finishes well around the basket, knocks down shots from beyond the arc, and displays useful vision as a playmaker. Wilson is also a pesky on the ball defender with feel and instincts. Picking up 5 steals in the game as well.     There are so many meaningful parts to Jamar's game. As he continues to instill a lot of intrigue with his overall identity. He's a long, fluid forward with touch, mobility, and a steady presence on both ends of the floor. Nix is a quality finisher but doesn't require a lot of touches to make his presence felt. He's able to establish himself as a rebounder and interior defender who can alter shots or force turnovers. Still loaded with upside, Nix will be a prospect to monitor over the coming months. Finished the game with 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 block shots.     Gramling continues to flourish as a heady playmaker and one who control the game for the Warriors. He has tremendous instincts, makes good reads, knows how to initiate and run the offense, and can be such a playmaker for himself and others on the floor. Gramling brings a toughness and competitive nature to the court that you love to see in your PG. Love his approach and intensity he played with!.     <a>Welch </a>is consistent and brings production to the table, no matter what team or what level. Welch possesses a sweet jump shot. He has a good sense of how to score the ball effectively, whether it is driving and finishing through contact or popping out to knock down shots. He can bring versatility to the floor and plays with a high IQ. Alex struggled throughout the game. Knock down this first 3pt attempt. But after that he went 2-8 from the floor and misfired on his last 7 3pt attempts to finish the game with 4 points. Despite his performance Welch is still one of the top unsigned prospects in the DMV area.
