<p class="text-gray-700">Owusu-Aduomi, out of the <em>Tilton School</em> in New Hampshire, checks in at <strong><em>#11</em></strong> among the <em>small forwards</em> and <strong><em>#44</em></strong> overall. Owusu-Aduomi is a big time athlete that does a great job of making plays in space, on both ends of the floor. He covers ground quickly with long strides and uses his length to be disruptive in passing lanes, while also proving to be a strong rebounder in traffic. Offensively, he's capable of getting into his mid-range game off one or two bounce, does a nice job of elevating into his shot, and also shows the ability to attack the rim for loud finishes when he can get downhill.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Pitt, out of the <em>Brunswick School</em> in Connecticut, checks in at <em><strong>#24</strong></em> among the <em>small forwards</em> and <strong><em>#127</em></strong> overall. Pitt has adjusted nicely to the NEPSAC, proving to be a versatile defender that uses his athleticism to his advantage when pressing, in passing lanes, and as an on-ball defender. He's an athletic finisher in transition, does a nice job of moving without the basketball, and has really improved the consistency of his perimeter jumper. Above all, his activity level and willingness to give up his body, on both ends of the floor, stands out every time he takes the court.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Reardon, out of the <em>St. Paul's School</em> in New Hampshire, checks in at <strong><em>#25</em></strong> among the <em>small forwards</em> and <strong><em>#135</em></strong> overall. Reardon is another prospect that has made a smooth transition to the NEPSAC, showing the ability to score it in multiple ways, while also making a big time impact on the defensive glass. The sturdy, 6'5" wing does a great job of using his strength to rebound in traffic, while also showing the mobility needed to guard on the perimeter. Offensively, he's an instinctive cutter that has proven to be a big time shot maker from behind the arc in catch and shoot situations.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Udeh, out of <em>Phillips Academy Andover</em> in Massachusetts, checks in at <strong><em>#29</em></strong> among the <em>small forwards</em> and <strong><em>#147</em></strong> overall. Udeh has a college ready frame and the ability to impact a game on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he does a nice job of moving his feet in space, while also using his strength to keep opposing guards off their lines as drivers. Offensively, he can make shots from behind the arc in catch and shoot situations, while also showing the ability to finish around the rim with athleticism. Off the ball, he's an instinctive cutter and willing ball mover.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Arthur, out of <em>Hollis-Brookline High School</em> in New Hampshire, checks in at <strong><em>#32</em></strong> among the <em>small forwards</em> and <strong><em>#163</em></strong> overall. Arthur has had a strong start to his season, averaging 17.4 points per game while helping <em>Hollis-Brookline</em> get off to a 5-0 start. The lefty is a floor spacer that does a great job of moving without the basketball and is consistently shot ready on the catch. He makes good decisions with the ball in his hands, can operate as a secondary ball-handler in the half-court, and has some creativity as a finisher around the rim. He's quickly established himself as one of the top scorers in the NHIAA, regardless of class.</p>
