At 6'8 and averaging 17 points and 12 rebounds a game while leading his team to a state championship game, his ability at the next level is clear. He can do it all on the floor and in college he will only refine those skills. Long, active and athletic is a great recipe for a top player.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2218442"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69cdd71f973ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2218442' first='Tyshawn' last='Duncan'] remains one of the top prospects in the state, and ULL is getting a college ready player with an immediate impact skill set. Watching Duncan for the past three seasons has been a roller coaster of development, but he has grown in every physical aspect of the game. We will be watching him on the big screen next season and beyond. The Big Man is staying home and we will continue to watch him grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2218441"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69cdd71f97437"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2218441' first='Armonii' last='Benjamin'] steps into the Top 3 as one of the most poised players in the state. He is a big guard that can control a game with or without the ball in his hands. He is a silent leader but his energy is intense. He is a three level scorer with an elite defensive mind set. Being bigger, stronger and smarter than your opponent means something and for Benjamin it means winning happens where he goes. His next level stop will get a leader and a winner in the locker room.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543684"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69cdd71f9747d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1543684' first='Autrail' last='Manning'] completed his senior season with a state championship. He is the #1 Point guard in the state, and even though he did not have eye popping numbers his impact goes beyond the stat sheet. Manning is a complete point guard with a lot left in the tank, and at the next level he is going to surprise a lot of coaches. He has 30 point capability, but plays the cerebral game and involves his team mates to effect winning. Calling him a winner is an understatement. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1967568"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69cdd71f974c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1967568' first='Lavell' last='Lane'] as told me by a scout was the best player at the All Star game and it wasn't just about his ability to score. His approach to the game, maturity and mind set is what makes him such a high level prospect.  He is a 6'7 wing player with elite shooting ability from three and at the mid range spot. He is also a serious lob threat and loves to just go up there and get it. His All-Star game MVP was earned among the best in the State. Wherever he lands, he will make an immediate impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay locked in for more player features on our graduating seniors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
