<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Across GHSA basketball, several players are stepping into expanded roles and showing they are ready for greater responsibility.

A quick-twitch attacker who uses sharp movements and burst to get into the heart of the defense. He pairs slick athleticism with a smooth jumper and the ability to create separation off the bounce. His lean frame allows him to change direction quickly and stay elusive when turning the corner. On the defensive end, his lateral quickness helps him stay in front and apply pressure on the perimeter.
