<p>Concluding my coverage, here were 6 intriguing wings that really impressed me this weekend.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ringador's upside is through the roof. The 6-foot-6 wing is super springy and gets high above the rim for dunks in transition; he gets up quickly, he has good body control in the air, and he takes contact well. The sophomore can knock down shots from the perimeter and handles the ball well for his size, too, but added strength—which should be coming shortly for him—will be monumental for his development. Ringador is at Bella Vista Prep in Arizona but looked really good as a part of RI Elite's athletic and big 16u squad, and I'm very excited to see how he continues to improve moving forward.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Penix is as solid as they come. The 6-foot-5 wing moves like a guard but has the size and strength of a big wing, so he can guard positions 1-4 and can produce offensively in a number of ways. He's good as a slasher and finisher at the rim (and gets well above the basket for athletic dunks), but he can also knock down shots from the outside off both the catch and the dribble. He's strong, under control, and skilled, and he plays at a nice pace. Penix is going to be in an excellent position to be a premier scorer with RI Elite's 17u team this spring, but he's also set up to be a very key part of Winchendon's team next season, so his recruitment should rise moving forward.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Wheeler is super intriguing because of his combination of size, skill, and shooting ability. The 6-foot-4 wing has a strong body for his size/age, and he moves better than you'd think—even though he isn't super quick or athletic, he's very coordinated and understands how to use his size in the paint. He made solid decisions against BABC's aggressive press this weekend, and he hit a number of important threes early in the game to keep it close. Wheeler is nowhere near a finished product, so some added quickness and vertical pop could really take him to the next level. Regardless, he's in a good position to thrive with Team Sims' 16u squad this spring.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Odugbela exudes potential. The 6-foot-5 wing is extremely long and skinny, but he has guard skills and is extremely comfortable with the ball in his hands as both a scorer and facilitator. He plays at a good pace and uses his body effectively to get to the paint, but he also has a pure outside shot and can make shots off the dribble or the catch. Most intriguing, though, is Odugbela's passing vision; he sees the floor extremely well and makes very advanced reads for his age and size, including being one of the better lob throwers I've seen. Once he puts on some more weight and gets older, he's going to be scary.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Olinto shot the leather off the basketball in the one A Step Ahead game I watched this weekend. The 6-foot-1 wing definitely has an odd-looking release, but it has all the makings of a good shot—a good base, a quick trigger, and good rotation on the ball—so he's a consistent shooter from the outside. When defenses started to overplay his shot on Saturday, the junior made a number of really nice feeds to his teammates, especially in transition. Olinto needs to improve his handle, but his role on his ASA team, which is in the HGAL and should play some high level squads, should be a good spot for him to accomplish that.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This was my first time seeing Alston play, and I was super impressed with his ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor and in a number of ways. Though there were some other guys on his ATR squad that had higher offensive usages, the 6-foot-2 guard did a phenomenal job attacking the offensive boards and leaking out in transition for easy layups and dunks. He also was EVERYWHERE defensively, whether it was blocking shots at the rim from behind or mucking up the passing lanes. Alston guards his behind off and does all the little things, so some added offensive skill as he gets older could really take him to the next level.</p>
