The combo forward has a motor and 40-inch vertical that allows him to guard multiple position.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">[player_tooltip player_id="711311" first="Joe" last="Cookson"] 6’6 SG (Seattle Academy, WA)</span></p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">Joe is a big time shooting guard at 6’6.  He can run off of screens, catch and shoot from the perimeter and play downhill out off closeouts.  Off the catch he used his jab series and showcased his pull up jump shot and floater package.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">[player_tooltip player_id="931310" first="Chae" last="Haynes"] 6’7 C (Life Christian High School, WA) </span></p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">Haynes dominated the first two games for Seattle Rotary.  They pounded the ball inside to him on the right block where he was able to use his size and big body to get easy points. His soft touch and light feet allow him to move with finesse at such a heavy size.  Another guy who would look great in the Big Sky.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">De’Rai Taylor 6’2 CG (Nathan Hale High School, WA)</span></p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">De’Rai Is a physical, athletic combo guard that excels in an up-tempo style.  The lefty can get to the basket and finish through contact or cut and slash for easy points off the ball. Defensively, he has the ability to guard both guard spot.  A young prospect with upside.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">[player_tooltip player_id="1053822" first="Jaylon" last="Ellis"] 6’1 PG (O’Dea High School, WA)</span></p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">Ellis’s sound decision making combined with his 3pt shooting makes him a prospect to watch. He can knock down the three off screens or on kicks outs. Defensively, he has good lateral quickness and creates offensive opportunities from his defensive.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">[player_tooltip player_id="674433" first="Bradley" last="Swillie"] 6’4 SG ( Life Christian Academy, WA)</span></p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">Bradley’s size and shooting makes him a prospect to follow.  At 6’4 he has the ability to space the floor and shoot with range.  As his ball handling improves, Bradley can make a living playing along-side guards that can get in the lane and get him open looks.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">Dezay Perkins 6’0 PG ( O’Dea High School, WA)</span></p> <p class="xmsonormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: #201f1e;">Perkins is an old fashion bulldog point guard.  He’s a tough nosed floor general that can run a team. His IQ and feel for the game allow him to play at a high level. Perkins can get in the lane and use his left hand to create angles to finish or kick out to shooters. Consistent Winner!</span></p>
