He was also putting in work around the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brayden Albrecht (Versailles): A 6'4" 2026 southpaw who has a long and slender frame and a nice perimeter skill set. He stretches the floor well with his 3-point shooting and he can also create off the dribble with his smooth handles. His crossover move is very effective to escape a defender to get off his shot. He moves well without the ball as I was impressed with his cutting ability off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ian Larison (Russellville): A 6'7" 2026 forward who is a hard-working player to gets positive results with his size and activity inside.
