The guard did a fantastic job Saturday navigating to his sweet spots, utilizing his body to shield off defenders, and rising up for smooth, unbothered jumpers over the top of contesting hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2859747' first='Kalel' last='Davis'] | Marist</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is a 6'7 slender, fluid athlete who made noise on both ends. He displayed great touch around the rim, highlighted by a impressive reverse finish where he initiated his drive on one side and finished cleanly on the other. Defensively, he was a force, using his length to snatch rebounds out of his area and alter shots around the cup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2403482' first='Christian' last='Hani'] | Huntley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hani is a true space-eating post who plays with a high physical motor. With his strong, well-built frame, he establish deep position and converts efficiently on back-to-the-basket touches. Hani proved to be a relentless glass-cleaner who embraces contact in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3472215' first='Zahari' last='Threatt'] | De La Salle</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Threatt put his expanding perimeter skillset on display with noticeable improvements in his ball-handling.

He displayed smooth handles, high-pointed rebounds above the rim, and anchored the interior defense as an avid shot-blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2915584' first='DK' last='Heard'] | King</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heard brought non-stop energy to the floor from the opening tip. Playing with a high motor, his active hands created immediate transition opportunities and easy buckets. He capped off his active two-way performance by stepping out and burying a clean top-of-the-key three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3701327' first='Aaron' last='Harrington'] | Perspectives</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harrington is a scrappy, downhill guard who isn't afraid to get into the thick of things. The crafty lefty repeatedly broke down defense off the bounce, using slick drives to penetrate the lane and finishing through traffic with his strong hand.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Matthew Golliday | King</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Golliday brought a smooth release and a relentless motor to Saturday's contest.

He knocked down two perimeter shots cleanly within the flow of the offense while acting as a pesky on-ball defender who forced numerous turnovers. Kelly possesses the skillset to create a bucket on demand.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kenon Dismukes | Perspectives</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dismukes is a blue-collar, dependable forward who consistently impacts the game by keeping things simple.

He was particularly effective operating off the ball, slashing through gaps in the defense for strong finishes at the rim while providing dependable perimeter coverage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2369858' first='Jonny' last='Udoiwod'] | Geneva</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Udoiwod demonstrated a complete floor-general skillset on Saturday.
