The 6'4 wing explodes off the floor for dunks and can draw contact in the paint. Singletary moves well without the ball in his hands and uses his size to see over his defender. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Singletary is a lanky wing prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2202029' first='Luka' last='Kuqo'], 6'9 PF/C Bergen Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kuqo went up 12 spots in the update as he became more comfortable within the flow of the offense. The 6'9 forward has a good face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and his range extends out to the three-point line. Kuqo can also get position in the paint and has a nice touch around the basket. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his length to influence shots around the rim.

He can thread passes to his teammates in the half court and slides his feet in the half court. Hodge was called up to the Dominican Republic 17U team this summer and should continue to grow his game over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107992' first='Julian' last='Van Hoeck'], 6'7 SF/PF Hun</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Van Hoeck went up 10 spots in the update as he showed the ability to play both forward spots.
