<p>You know a player is special where you can envision him as being at his best in two different roles. [player_tooltip player_id='1560946' first='Landon' last='Gilliatt'] is an elite three-point shooter with in the gym range. He's also one of the best passing point guards in the state. On one hand you could have him off the ball reading defenses coming off screens. On the other hand, you can put the ball in his hands too initiate at the point of attack. He's a quick trigger shooter that can shoot off the catch or off the dribble. If defense take away his three-point shot, he showed the ability to get in the lane consistently and finish either with a floater or get all the way to the basket and finish with either hand. On the ball he has exceptional court vision both in the open floor, and in the half court. He's not the quickest or most athletic player, but has enough wiggle to get to his spot and make the right play when the defense steps over to help. He plays with a high IQ and high motor on both sides of the ball. Big time competitor on the defensive end that showed he's willing to give his body up for a stop.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Watching Blake's film, it seems that the game of basketball comes easy to him. A rangy 6'2” shooting guard that impacts the game in both ends of the floor. As a defender, he's aggressive on the ball looking to use his wingspan to poke the ball away. He's aggressive in passing lanes looking to find easy buckets in transition. Moves his feet well and sits down and guards without fouling. Offensively he's a natural bucket getter that is smooth as silk. Patient with the ball in his hands, he takes what the defense gives him. Comfortable on or off the ball, he's dynamic with his scoring ability and I came to find that his playmaking ability for others is underrated. High level three-point shooter with a smooth, quick release that showed once he gets hot, he can bury teams in a hurry. Also effective in ball screens. He's a high IQ player that understands his angles. Showed a soft touch when getting in the lane with a floater and finishes around the basket with both hands.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A calculated, versatile scorer that makes no wasted movement. More of an off-ball guard right now, he is continuing to develop his game to becoming a point guard due to his size. He has a strong frame that allows him to play through contact. Really good running off screens knowing how to get open. Has a quick release on his jumper with good elevation. Always seems to be in balance with his perimeter shot. If defenses take his three-point shot he's able to get in the lane and finish with either a midrange jumper or get all the way to the rim where he's excellent finishing with his off hand.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Indiana Junior All-Star [player_tooltip player_id='1560962' first='Blake' last='Neill'] is as good as advertised. The first time seeing him live was his freshman season vs Indianapolis North Central at the Sneakers For Santa Shootout where he was mainly a catch and shoot threat. Two years later, he is now the all time leading scorer in Bloomfield History. At 6'6” he is a matchup nightmare at the 1A level. He's capable of defending all over the floor and at that level he can be a solid rim protector as well. He plays with a high IQ that not only knows how to score it, he has all around game. Teams try and take him away and his unselfishness makes him a tough cover. He's a willing and talented passer that can make any type of pass in any situation due to this size. He's a talented shooter with a smooth release with range that extends far past the three-point line. He's not what you would call quick, but with his size and strength he's able to get to his spots off the dribble and rise up over defenders or get all the way to the basket.</p>
