Day Three John Wall Holiday Invitational Standouts (Part Three)

Our final addition of day three standouts is here and this was some of the highest level basketball played in The State of North Carolina all season long. A blend of highly ranked in-state and out of state talent clashed for a very very special night of basketball inside of Holliday Gymnasium. Without further delay, let's take a look at our last batch of John Wall Holiday Invitational Day Three Standouts!    Bouie came back home to the HoopState and put on a show in Spire's win over one of NC's best teams in Greensboro Day. Bouie had an incredibly efficient performance finishing with 19 Points, 4 Rebounds, and 3 Steals on 7-11 from the floor. Bouie's blend of shot making and athleticism make him a prototypical high major wing with still a lot of upside to tap into as he gets physically stronger. Once he adds that strength, I fully expect Bouie to take another leap in his game. He's made tremendous strides defensively, more equipped to use his physical gifts at that end of the floor than ever before. The steady progression from Bouie over the years has been a joy to see, it was on full display in his return to the HoopState.     Giant continues to prove himself as one of NC's top available seniors regardless of position. He's got great size for a combo guard and is super comfortable in these high level games for Greensboro Day. A true 94 foot player, Giant brings a ton of energy and experience to the Greensboro Day lineup. The lefty has vastly improved his touch from distance over the course of his high school career and should be considered as a reliable player in that aspect of the game. Giant finished with 7 Points, 3 Rebounds, and 2 Assists in the loss to Spire. His defensive efforts really helped his team out early on in the game to keep it close throughout the first half. Giant is showing he can play with the best of the best.     Rosser is another name that came back to NC and put on a show in the final semi-final game on Day Three as Southeastern Prep coasted to a dominant win over IMG Academy. Rosser finished with an efficient 11 Points and 6 Rebounds all on 4-6 shooting from the floor. Rosser has a pure release and is a true rhythm shooter. He gets into a flow state and it really feels like he can't miss from the mid-range or beyond the arc. Rosser's physical gifts are obvious, incredible size and length for the position. A very fluid and mobile athlete that should really hit his stride as that next 20-25 pounds hits his frame. Now that he's in Florida, I fully expect him to be near the top of the rankings down there.     When Obinna Ekezie Jr's motor is running the way it did in Southeastern Prep's semi-final win over IMG Academy, there aren't really any players in America I'd want over him. His ability to completely control the flow of the game as a big with his defense at the rim was special. He finished with 18 Points and 4 Rebounds on 8-10 from the floor. They only have him listed with one block but he definitely altered at least a dozen shots at the rim, anchoring the Southeastern Prep defense at an elite level. Ekezie has shown the ability to hit the trail three as well, showing the outside touch in his game. For him having a really high level motor consistently is the biggest thing to ensure he maintains his status at the top of the class because when he is really going like he was on this night, it was insane to see.     In what was a really tough night for IMG, Chase Foster was an undeniable bright spot with his effort and energy vs Southeastern Prep. Foster finished with 13 Points, 7 Rebounds, and 3 Steals. His presence on the wing is a real factor at both ends of the floor, he can really guard multiple positions with his size and agility on the perimeter. The Pitt commit is a perfect fit for that style and system. A true versatile two way wing with three level scoring ability, and a handle that can create real mismatches. Foster and IMG didn't quite have the weekend that they wanted but he was still able to have some big moments at The John Wall.
