One of the most impressive stats that he has seemed to gravitate toward is rebounding the basketball. Kozlowski is active on the boards and oftentimes he gets 5+ and has even racked up over 10 rebounds a game in a handful of contests. Kozlowski can score, but his defense and rebounding ability have him playing like a seasoned vet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kiir Nang, Anthem Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nang could be a super star in the making. He possesses a great feel for the game, demonstrating excellent balance on catches and drives. On the move, he's solid catching on short rolls and crashing hard to the rim during fast pick-and-rolls. He has a good shot and, as a freshman, has been playing solid, fundamental basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3138849' first='Noah' last='Adams'], Mount Vernon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'4", Adams is a significant presence in the 1A classification. He is still developing his game, but his potential is evident. He's on the cusp of becoming a double-digit scorer, and this could become a reality as region play starts. He has already demonstrated his ability to score in double figures while also excelling at rebounding. Adams is already one of the top players in 1A, and with his young age, his future looks very promising.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3273869' first='Layken' last='Coehlo'], Jordan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan could see a talent boost with Coehlo getting early freshman varsity experience. Coehlo is a dangerous floor spacer with his shooting ability. Besides scoring, he's been rebounding and setting up teammates for assists. He's also good enough on defense not to be a liability. This is a player to remember for the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3035703' first='Harry' last='Hendrix'], Highland</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hendrix has all the tools to be a future superstar.
