Lawrenceville (NJ) 72 Erie Prep Academy Natl. 69 Game Recap

Hun was able to defeat Erie Prep National high school team in the Kiski Tip-Off tournament Saturday afternoon.    Lau impressed with his ability to convert shots from beyond the three point line and finished a total of six. He had 20 points total. Lau keeps the ball on a string and has impressive handles. He can also stop on the dime and change gears and directions with ease. Lau has nice mechanics on his shot. I want to see Lau work on his efficiency and also play off two feet more. I wish Lau was a step or two quicker.     Hodge is a quick witted guard who uses his speed to take advantage of defenders. He finished with 13 points and two three pointers. He is very explosive and shows off his athleticism when he is going up to shag rebounds. I like his positional versatility showing that he can play on or off the ball. He didn't let the ball stick to his hands.     Johnson strung together a solid performance showing that he did not have to be a go to scorer to leave his impact on the game. He has the ability to be an elite defender and made a few plays on that end of the floor to back it up, including getting his hands on a shot that Erie Prep took before the buzzer that if it went in it would've sent the game to overtime. Johnson does a nice job slashing to the bucket. Johnson had 13 points in the win with 10 in the 2nd half. His length allows him to get blocks. He found ways to get steals.     Pasinli is a sound point guard who showed the ability to touch the game in different facets. He finished with 21 points two three pointers, 14 of which came in the 2nd half. I like how he never got sped up and had great body control when he was on the attack. He has clean mechanics on his shot and if his feet are set there is a high chance he will convert. Pasinli was able to secure rebounds and than push the ball up the floor. His ability to find his teammates for scoring chances was seen frequently.     The big physical swingman impressed on the offensive end. He was clever making plays for self and others throughout the game. His prowess from behind the three point line was seen and connected from there on three different instances. He finished with 18 points in the loss. I would like to see him work on taking care of the basketball better he was prone to turnover the ball.     The skilled big man impressed with his instincts and feel for the game. He made timely passes to his teammates for scoring opportunities. His ability to be in ethical spots on the floor to get rebounds was seen often during the game. His length allowed him to block shots.     The floor spacing face-up post made a great impression in my first time ever viewing him in person. He connected on five three pointers and is very confident from there. Atilla had a few blocks and rebounded the ball at a decent rate. He had a game high 22 points in the loss. Low to mid major programs in need of a skilled big in the class of 2027 need to give Gulecyuz a look.     The Alabama football pledge impressed with his ability to hold it down inside. He was very active on the boards and used his shear size and physicality to collect them. He had 16 points and converted a few chances off of 2nd chance efforts. Lumpris has an energetic motor whenever he steps onto the floor.
