<p>It's incredibly fun to see student athletes that know what they're doing in the paint down low, especially during a time when the three-ball seems to reign supreme. The players below showed they were in their element in the paint and took every advantage they could down low.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Caleb is a dominant, long player that makes his intentions known early and never wavers throughout the game. He owns the paint and cleans the glass like a professional, often leading to second and third looks at the hoop for his squad. He's an excellent passer and has the IQ to recognize the attention he attracts down low and kick to his wide-open teammates on the perimeter. He's strong defensively and an anchor that's tough to get around on opposing drives to the basket. He finishes wonderfully in the key and uses the glass to his advantage.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Braeshon is a determined, physical guard that can absolutely fly and he uses that to his advantage in the paint - regularly stacking offensive rebounds and getting extra opportunities at the rim. He's a silky shooter with range that extends well beyond the arc and he never shies from a traffic jam in the lane. He uses his body incredibly well on the drive and has the ability to follow through and finish through contact. His ballhandling and footwork are elite and he uses both to dominate the key.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Noah is a solid, versatile player that never panics and makes an absolute ruckus in the paint. He's intelligent with how he sees the floor and the decisions he makes on both ends. He's an excellent finisher down low he uses his body nicely to gain favorable position on his opponents. He's a workhorse on the glass and his vision and passing skills are next level. I love how patient he is when it comes to his next move - either working into it with solid ballhandling and posting up or quickly recognizing an external opportunity and lasering it to a teammate for easy points.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kade is a long, skilled player that can slide into the guard or forward position with ease. He stretches the floor nicely with his solid jumper and shooting range, keeping defenders honest and opening up opportunities for his teammates. I love the way he moves without the ball, always seeming to be in prime position for a quick layup or easy jumper. He makes great things happen down low on both ends and is clever with how he uses the glass to his advantage. He's not afraid to pass up a jumper and put the ball on the floor if he sees a better opportunity in the paint.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Braiden is a lengthy, tenacious guard that is incredibly active in the paint and will do whatever it takes to get his team to victory. He's an absolute beast on the offensive glass. I saw one possession where he got 4-5 attempts at the rim and finished successfully because of his hustle down low. He's a fantastic ballhandler with excellent footwork to match and he uses these abilities to stack buckets in the key. His passing game is incredibly impressive, and I love the hook layup he uses down low to evade the contest from lengthier defenders.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bentley is a towering, dominant forward that feels right at home in the paint on both ends of the floor. He stacks rebounds with ease and is a forceful presence defensively in the key with his length and anticipation abilities. He's smart and rarely bites on pump fakes and has the patience to stick with opponents that display elite footwork as well. His engine is non-stop and he can rack up buckets on the opposition down low in a hurry. He seldom makes a bad decision and never backs down from anyone that dares to enter the paint when he's around.</p>
