DeCastro is a gifted hybrid guard-forward prospect who excels in the open court. His speed and instincts enable DeCastro to fill a lane, sprint down the floor and then finish tough through contact or with a creative touch. On half-court possessions, DeCastro can produce points from the wing off one or two dribbles. DeCastro also owns a solid mid-range game. He can also score via dives to the cup and the offensive glass as well as out of pick-n-roll action.      </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Abraham Kennah ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Universal Audenried Charter","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685e93c4c80b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kennah is the prototype “3&amp;D” wing prospect with a nice dose of dribble drive skills added in. He is extremely athletic and fast as well as bouncy. Plus, Kennah owns an enormous wingspan and an attacking mindset. Put all those assets together and you create a prospect who is an open court phenom. On half-court possessions Kennah can drain triples from all around the arc. His quick release and length enable him to shoot over defenders and even double teams. Kennah can also blow by defenders off the dribble and then score at the rim. Whenever Kennah gets in close, he will not hesitate to finish with authority. Defensively, Kennah can guard 2 through 5 and pull-down tough rebounds</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2563334"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685e93c4c812f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This long and athletic hybrid-forward was the talk of Philly HS Live Session I after he averaged 15.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per contest. McKie is a wiry and long hybrid-forward with excellent speed. Thus, he thrives in transition. His ability to finish above the rim or power through contact makes McKie difficult to stop on the fast break. In a half-court game, McKie can knock down jumpers from all over the court, including behind the arc. He can also produce points off the dribble as well as from the dunker spot. Additionally, McKie puts in serious work on the offensive glass. On defense, McKie is a plus rebounder and solid weakside shot blocker.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450654"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685e93c4c8199"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most decorated 2028 prospects in the state has jumped to a new squad and I am interested to see Salisbery gels with McCaskey's deep and talented roster. Salisbery is an elite point guard who is a walking bucket too. In 2024-25 Salisbery averaged 15 ppg., posted seven games of 20 or more points and was a 1st Team All-Lancaster-Lebanon League selection. Salisbery is a highly accurate shooter. He can pop jumpers from the baseline, in the mid-range and from behind the 3-point line. Additionally, Salisbery can create off the dribble for himself and teammates. His ability to kiss difficult runners off the glass is impressive. Salisbery owns the speed and elusive handles to take the rock coast-to-coast for a lay-up or to drop a dime on a teammate filling the wing on the fast break.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
