Strong defender and rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2454169' first='Brad' last='Blackmon'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2125641' first='Jamier' last='Montgomery'] (Crane)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blackmon is a rising senior that's stock is on the rise.&nbsp; He is a rangy forward that impacts defensively swatting shots and offensively getting in the gaps for scores.&nbsp; Montgomery brings a shifty lead guard with length that can score from multiple levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323268' first='Tishawn' last='Clemmons'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2105414' first='Sean' last='Lee'] (Decatur MacArthur)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Huge weekend from this duo at MacArthur.
