Desmond White 6’2 Helias: It is quite redundant to say that Dez White is a bucket. He is a three-level scoring threat and he make it look effortless at times. Not only is he an excellent shot-maker, but he is an excellent shot-maker. He handles the ball well and can also excel on the defensive end with his activity and anticipation. He can put up a lot of points in a short period of time without ever getting out of control.
Izaak Porter 6’4 Father Tolton: The talented shooting guard scored 23 points in his first Fall League outing. He displayed his excellent 3-point shooting stroke as he knocked down four triples. He is also emerging as an effective all-around scorer with a solid mid-range game and the ability to get a shot off the dribble. He uses his big body to his advantage against smaller guards.
James Lee James Lee 5'10" | PG Father Tolton | 2023 State MO 5’10 Father Tolton: A potent scoring point guard who scored 22 points in his first game. He has speed and quickness, but he also has an old-school element to his game where he can change the pace at a moment’s notice and knock down the mid-range jumper. He has smooth handles and combines it with a nice burst when he wants to get by a defender.
Steve Samuels 5’11” Jefferson City: A quick point guard who plays with a high motor at both ends of the court. Regardless of the setting, he is always going to give a great effort on the defensive end. He sits down and will move his feet and put pressure on opposing ball handlers. He is very effective on his dribble penetration on offense.
Evens Appolon Evens Appolon 6'9" | PF Father Tolton | 2023 State MO 6’9 Father Tolton: The big center had some impressive rim runs, which resulted in a few transition dunks. His plays the classic back to the basket game where he can score on a strong drop step getting to his left hand. He also stepped out and hit a couple of baseline jumpers from the 15 feet area.
