Central Dauphin (PA)48 Cumberland Valley 41 Game Recap

Central Dauphin's depth was too much for Cumberland Valley in a Mid-Penn Conference clash on Friday night.    The older starling stuffed the stat sheet with his play. His timing to speed up opposing offensive players and turn defense to offense was seen frequently. I like how he can find ways through different angles in transition to get to the cup. He also lived in the paint and was a frequent flyer at the charity stripe converting a handful of attempts from there. Starling made plays for others with his ability to facilitate. Starling also showed that he can set pin-downs off the ball. His ability to change gears was seen throughout the game. He finished with a game high 19 points with 11 coming in the fourth quarter. I want to see him look to play off of two feet on more occasions. Another thing i want to see starling improve on his perimeter shot-making, he was a taker not a maker. Should see a ton of PSAC and low major division ones tracking his every move in the spring and summer.     He oozes with long-term potential and really like how he uses his length to make an impact on defense. He shows some promise when he has the ball in his hands and is looking to navigate to different spots on the floor. He chipped in 4 points but didn't need to have a major scoring impact to see the impression he had in the game. He was able to find others for scoring chances. Starling has explosive athleticism that he showed flashes of more than a few times during the game. I look forward to tracking his development over the coming years.     Really like the way that he has a nose for scoring grunge buckets time in and time out during the game. He always seems in the right places on the floor. 8 of his 13 were scored in the 2nd half. His ability to be able to exploit mismatches is one of his best traits. He shagged a few rebounds and even had an assist. I like how Roberts hustled allowed him to convert on 2nd chance efforts.     Easter showcased his ability to be a jack of all trades during the contest. He was able to alter shots and rebound. He connected with teammates for scoring chances of their own. Easter was able to finish through contact when on the attack. He finished with 5 points.     It took sometime to see Diehl's scoring ability tonight he cashed in on three 3 pointers in the 2nd half and finished with 11 points. I like his confidence when he gets into a scoring groove. He showed a flash of being able to use his post game when he needed to I wish he would do that more often. Diehl doesn't let the ball stick to his hands and has a good grasp of the game. I want to see him try to become more of an alpha dog and take on more of the scoring load and defer less, I think when he does that his stock tends to lessen as a prospect.     Really liked the relentlessness Welsh brings to the table whenever he steps onto the floor. He found ways to collect steals. Welsh was active on the glass. He had a team high 17 points 11 of which were in the 2nd half. Welsh showed some flashes playing on the ball and finding teammates in different spots were they could score the basketball.
