<p class="text-gray-700">Martin impacted the game in different ways. He used his length to come down with rebounds. He is a switchable defender who uses his blend of size quickness and size to cover ground an an abrupt pace. Martin scored is different ways around the bucket, behind the arc, and at the charity stripe. Martin continues get better with time and intrigue with upside, He should be a priority for low major plus programs. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Scroggins is a skilled mismatch forward who plays with a great deal of versatility. He did a nice job stuffing the stat sheet with his balanced play. Scroggins showed the he could space the floor as a perimeter shot maker. He has nice touch around the rim and can play around the rim. Scroggins converted at the charity stripe. He is a magnetic rebounder who is in the right spots to get rebounds. I like his feel for the game and how he reads and reacts on the fly. Low major division ones should be pounding on Scroggins door. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Straughter is an offensive juggernaut who has the ability to fill it up with his scoring pop. His blend of length and size allow him to cover ground with ease on the defensive end. Straughter is very nimble. He scored from the three point line. He is still growing into his frame and his best hoops are ahead of him. Low ones and high two's should be making him a priority. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Simon is a do it all rangy forward who did a nice job implementing the game in different facets. His length is a factor on the defensive end causing opponents constant disruption. Simon was in good spots on the floor to rebound. He runs the floor like a deer. Simon also showed that he had feel for the game with his passing skills. His perimeter shooting ability showed flashes when he was on the floor. I really like the energy he brings to game. Simon should be a priority for low and mid major programs. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Dia is a high-motored 5 man who impacts the game in many different ways. He does a nice job scoring around the bucket and converts high percentage looks. He is an effective screener in the half court. Dia came down with rebounds frequently and has a nose for the basketball. He had good timing when altering shots. Dia also showed he could get others involved with his passing. I like how Dia stays within himself and doesn't try to over step his boundaries on the offensive end. He should be on mid major programs radars. </p>
