[player_tooltip player_id="1119137" first="Jackson" last="Hicke"] 6’4 ’23 Radnor (PA) Hicke who is a swingman showed he can get a quick bucket when needed from either going downhill or scoring from behind the arc. He does an excellent job of knowing where the next pass is and where to exactly be on the floor. He is a capable defender who can guard multiple positions. Justin Molen 6’7 ’22 Salesianum (DE) Molen’s offensive arsenal was on full display he was able to get to spots off the dribble, score on or off the ball from three, and finish above the rim. Molen showed he could guard all 5 guys on the floor and had no issue switching on-ball screens. He was constantly in the mix during the games and kept finding a way to stay relevant. Jayson Njoga 6’5 ’22 Doane Academy (NJ) Njoga is a smooth post player who showed his force on either end of the floor. He protects the rim and comes up with rebounds on the defensive end. While on offense he showed he could score in the post and took advantage of the room the defense gave him to shoot jumpers. Njoga stays within his game and doesn’t try to force things that he is not comfortable doing. Haze Puttlitz 6’7 ’24 Solebury School (PA) Puttlitz is a big body who was able to have a feast on the low blocks, He is sneaky athletic and can finish above the rim when needed. He holds his own down low and is able to battle with other bigs his size or bigger. Puttlitz has a lot of untapped potential which will only get discovered with more reps/experience. Peyton Seals 6’3 ’24 Ramapo (NJ) Seals is a balanced guard who showed a great deal of patience on the offensive end. He was able to shift gears while on the attack and able to slow it down to find a moving teammate to make an unselfish play. He scored from inside and out and had a knack for finding the hoop. [player_tooltip player_id="1212678" first="Charlie" last="Thornton"] 6’4 ’23 Radnor (PA) Thornton showed off his 2-way skillset often in the gameplay of the workout. He was able to get after it and guard on the defensive end. He understands the game well and was able to make reads to his teammates on what to do in the sequence of the game. Thornton was able to score from three and get to the cup for easy twos. One thing that I thought was an underrated skill that he showed was playing on the block and taking advantage of mismatches with smaller guards covering him.
