<p class="text-gray-700">Burtin is an intriguing player and prospect. On defense, he can protect the rim, altering and blocking shots. He just has the length and verticality to be a menace on D. Burtin is developing his game nicely on the offensive end. He can finish above the rim with force.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hunt could be considered one if the best and most influential freshman basketball players in the state. He finds space and finds lanes to the rim and can attack them off the bounce. Hunt has a knack for scoring in traffic, using body control and creativity.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">There's a lot to love about Flagg. He takes pride in his defense and it shows. He's one of the most exciting shot blockers that I've seen this year. And he just wants to get better. Flagg is a bouncy forward that has a really nice upside as a player and prospect.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Quite simply, Holt might be one of the most talented guards in the state. He has the ability to create looks and finish with buckets. That being said, when I've seen him, he's been unselfish and willing to dish for a better look. Holt can be a game changer working with the ball, and that's dangerous in tournament time.</p>
