Rural Pennsylvania Names to Know in 2027

Swingman who finds different ways to leave his mark on the game. Is comfortable running the floor in transition and gets rewarded with fast break scoring chances. Threat to make shots from deep but would like to see him work on getting his shot off faster, if he were to want to play in college he would need to work on getting a quicker release. Even though he has a slower release he has good shooting mechanics. Like his soft hands and good footwork he shows when he is operating on the interior.     Ruggery is a jack of all trades guard who plays with an immense deal of physicality whenever he steps onto the floor. He is effective when he is attacking downhill and seeks out contact when contorting his body around the rim. His ability to out muscle opponents and go coast to coast in transition is one of the ways why he is a threat to score whenever he has the ball in his hands. Like how he can play off of two when he is around the paint. The southpaw finds ways to convert if he is left open from deep. Ruggery's stocky frame allows him to eat up space on the floor. His lack of true size at the lead guard spot hurts him at the higher levels of college basketball, but he should see a plethora of schools recruiting him at the small college level.     Thomas is a wiry big man who is just starting to scratch the surface. He oozes with long-term potential. Thomas is able to convert from the charity stripe. I would like to see him work on getting stronger and become better at finishing in and around crowds. He shows flashes of passing out of the post. Thomas finds a body to box when he is protecting the bucket. He needs to improve with his hands their are a few occurrences when the ball flies directly through his hands.     Bowers is a small forward who finds different ways to stay relevant in the game. He can hit shots from three while he is playing off the basketball. Bowers navigates into contact when he is going to the rim. He has no issues being in different spots on the floor to get rebounds. His branchlike arms allow him to allude his way around traffic.     Simons impresses with his ability to navigate to the rim and attack closeouts. He is effective using his spin move when around the bucket and has good footwork. Simons is at his best in the half-court and breaks down the game well. He is stuck between a few positions. I like how he is able to read and react to different situations on the fly throughout the game.
