<p>Some players left an impression with their shot-making. Others did it by creating for teammates, defending or making the extra effort that extended a possession. These prospects gave me plenty to write about—and specific reasons to keep following their games.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">He was at his best pushing the pace, turning a few dribbles into a coast-to-coast attack and elevating for dunks before opponents established position. His scoring extended to the mid-range, where he rose comfortably into his jumper with good lift. He matched that offensive aggression with an active presence defending the ball, bringing sustained effort to his perimeter assignments.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">His perimeter shot-making was a clear strength, with the touch and comfort to step out and convert threes at a high rate. That scoring skill carried inside the arc, where he operated with his back to the basket and connected on mid-range fadeaways. He also flashed grab-and-go ability, pushing the ball himself after securing rebounds.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Relentless on the offensive glass, he generated second and third chances by staying involved until the possession was finished. He converted through contact and elevated for finishes above the rim, turning that activity into points. His motor set the tone, bringing an energy that spread throughout the group.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">His quick release made him a threat to string together threes off the catch, but he also created shots off the dribble and got downhill to pressure the rim.
