EBA Warmup: Productive CG Prospects

15p 2a 2s vs McDonogh   -On a day that saw the Seahawks struggling to score, Hall provided some firepower from the perimeter with four made 3s. Although he struggled with turnovers in the 1H, he continued to generate paint touches to shift the defense and try to create open looks for a teammate. Although I wouldn't say his crossover dribble is super explosive, Hall has a pretty effective handle and usually does a pretty good job of handling ball pressure whether it's 94 feet or in the halfcourt. If he hits a growth spurt by the end of the season and continues to improve his athleticism, he would be a sneaky good late add for a small college program in need of a shooter.     12p (5/8 FG) vs McDonogh   -A new name for me, Warren has good size and a strong frame for a CG prospect. He was aggressive throughout the afternoon, utilizing pump fakes and jabs to free himself up for looks at the rim that usually found the bottom of the net. Want to see him with more active hands and feet at the defensive end of the floor to carve out more of a role as a 3+D shooter that can give the Seahawks a different look whether it's off the bench or in the starting lineup.     11p 1a 1r vs Spalding   -Waheed's shooting and secondary play-making was one of the few offensive bright spots in a matchup with Spalding where he faced a variety of different defenders. Like that Waheed has made some improvements to his footwork when getting into his jumper-- especially off the bounce or off of movement-- that allow him to square up to the rim before letting it fly. The handle has improved to enable him to handle ball pressure and double teams and he is utilizing his pivot to create space whether that's when he picked up his dribble on the perimeter or is angling for a better shooting angle in the key.     15p 1a 1r 2s vs Georgetown Prep   -Really balanced performance from Lonergan in this one as he showed off his basketball feel/IQ at both ends of the floor. Lonergan's box score stats often don't reflect his impact as an unselfish player that serves as a great connector that makes the hockey assist, a leader that directs traffic at both ends and helps smooth over communication gaps between coaches and players, or the shots that he passes up to find something better for a teammate or run a set. He hit open 3s, finished through contact at the rim after attacking a closeout, rotated well defensively to wall up and force bigs into taking bad shots over him, and poked out two steals. Definite candidate to move up in our next rankings update because of how he impacts winning on a consistent basis.     8p 3r 1a 2s vs Upper Dublin; 15p 2a 2r 4s vs South River   -Really liked the defensive activity, paint touches, and perimeter shooting from Hopkins in this one. He served as a disruptive force both as a POA and help defender, jamming drivers into picking up their dribble and rotating out to shooters well after getting two feet in the paint to double down on a big/crashing for a rebound. He's got good burst with the ball in his hands but can also be successful off of it as a shooter. Productive day for the rising senior.     5p 10r 5a 2s 1b vs McDonogh   -Sometimes a player can be too unselfish and look to create for others when they have a better look in the paint or on the perimeter. But McDuffie found a way to leave his imprint on this game as a rebounder that was willing to mix it up with the trees or box his man out on the perimeter to collect a long rebound. Loved his activity defensively in this one as a guard that wasn't afraid of any matchup and also noticed his vocal leadership both in between plays and during the action. He's one of the most valuable players to his team in the area as a guard that can shoot, rebound, defend, finish above the rim, and pass.
