<p class="text-gray-700">Fitch impressed with his determination to score the basketball and has the ability to get points in a matter of seconds. He made a living on the interior scoring easy buckets near and around the rim. He is very efficient with his floor game. I like how he anticipates the game is able to be one step ahead of everyone else. Fitch is in good spots to come down with rebounds. He can also make plays for others with his vision of the floor. He is a prospect low major schools need to be recruiting. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bernard is a smooth operating wing who showed he could play with the ball in and out of his hands. He is a real threat from deep and if his feet are set there is a high chance he is converting from deep. I like his versatility on the offensive end. He doesn't let the ball stick to his hands and shares the sugar. Can see him benefiting from a repeat or prep year to only bolster his stock even more. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Rottmann impressed the the perimeter hitting many shots from behind the arc. He has good positional size and a well built frame. He has no fear getting paint touches and scoring downhill. He made the most of his chances at the charity stripe. Rottmann was in good spots for rebounds. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Really like how Varlack touched the game with his versatility. He didn't have a major scoring day but had his fingerprints all over his Crown squads victory. He is a jitterbug with an electric first step. He does a great job anticipating when to jump passing lanes to turn defense to offense. He also made others better frequently with his vision of the floor. He needs to be a priority for scholarship coaches. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kinnard is an electric factory guard who anytime he touches the ball there is a high probability he will make a play that jumps off the page. Kinnard is a vintage NYC guard. He is a perimeter marksmen who hit several shots from deep and most were highly difficult ones to pull off. He also showed flashes as a facilitator. If he goes into the class of 2026 he should be a priority for low major programs across the northeast. </p>
