New Names to Watch in the Philadelphia Area

Drabick is a physical guard who does a nice job getting downhill off the bounce and consistently putting pressure on the defense. I like how he can touch the paint on the attack and use his physicality to create advantages. Drabick also does a nice job feeding the post and getting his bigs touches when they establish position. He can play on or off the basketball, giving him added versatility within the offense.     Parker is a southpaw guard who finds different ways to leave a positive impact on the game. He has a nice handle and does a good job playing at different gears when attacking. I like how Parker is patient enough to slow the game down and doesn't always look to have his foot on the gas. His ability to change speeds and play with pace gives him another layer to his offensive game.     Parker-Barnes is a rangy scorer who is oozing with potential and continues to show flashes of what he can become. He is effective as a slasher and does a nice job using his length to contort his body and finish around the basket. Parker-Barnes also does a good job taking advantage of mismatches and breaking down the game well in the half-court. I like how he jumps passing lanes and consistently turns defense into offense. His combination of length, scoring ability, and defensive instincts gives him plenty of upside moving forward.     Ortiz-Muhammad does a nice job breaking the game down in the half-court and uses his dribble to get to different spots on the attack. He uses ball screens which free him up to create space for himself to get off shots. Like the way he creates separation for himself to get shots off from three.     Dow is at his best when filling the lane in transition and uses his athleticism to make plays above the rim. He is an active defender who uses his length to alter shots and consistently finds different ways to make an impact on that end of the floor. Dow also shows flashes as a capable shooter from three, giving him another way to contribute offensively. His combination of athleticism, length, and developing perimeter shooting gives him plenty of tools to work with.     Ingram is a plug-and-play guard who can play either guard spot and finds different ways to impact the game. I like how he can play on the block and use his size to take advantage of smaller guards. Ingram also has the ability to space the floor, and if he gets into a rhythm from three, he can be difficult to stop. His versatility and ability to contribute in multiple areas give him added value in any lineup.
