Marksmen in the 23′ Class

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="972415" first="JJ" last="Williams"] - Roughriders - Colorado Prep <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/IMG_0001-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1616773228.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1157008 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/IMG_0001-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1616773228-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="164" /></a></p> <p>Williams possesses far and away the most positional size on this list at 6’6, 215 lbs. He is capable lighting up opposition on significant volume, such as the 6+ made threes. He is most dependable off the catch, however when confident he can create his shot off the dribble. He can hit shots well past the NCAA line along with rising into shots should the defense go under. Williams has also grown his IQ as a cutter, finding open lanes with a greater frequency. Continuing to maximize his rebounding consistency will be helpful for young wing, given his natural size and feel for the game.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Silas-Mccurnin-1.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1180050 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Silas-Mccurnin-1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="227" height="151" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="1284572" first="Silas" last="McCurnin"] - 24MD Team Daum - Poudre</p> <p>McCurnin is a pure shooter at the combo guard spot, getting most of his scoring opportunities within the offensive flow. Standing roughly 6’2, his lightning quick jump shot is nearly impossible to defend against. McCurnin is more than capable flowing off screens into shots or scoring over a screen should the defense go under. One notable aspect of McCurnin’s progression has come in the pick and roll, where his potential as a passer cannot go unchecked. Pick and roll facilitation is by far the x-factor, where his offensive versatility could take a massive leap. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="921110" first="Archer" last="VanSickle"] - PLUTO Prospects - Regis Jesuit<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/Archer-VanSickle.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1429942 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/Archer-VanSickle-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="165" /></a></p> <p>The shooting guard can create his own shot under a variety of situations, making him arguably the highest upside scorer on this list. His ability to create space with the jump shot is hard to find among Colorado guards. VanSickle is more than capable using crossovers, behind the back moves, and step-backs. Balance is the biggest key for his scoring results, as he quickly squares up his shoulders for such jumpers. Continuing to track his paint touches and subsequent passing vision should have a major impact on overall offensive versatility.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/113-Tyler-HUNSINGER.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1281574 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/113-Tyler-HUNSINGER-300x200.jpg" alt="Denver South shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id=" width="251" height="167" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="1284506" first="Tyler" last="HUNSINGER"] - Pro Skills Basketball (PSB) - Denver South</p> <p>Hunsinger shares a lot of stylistic similarities to McCurnin due to his movement shooting prowess and budding playmaking abilities within the pick and roll. Versus Hoops Academy, Hunsinger hit seven threes before half time, most of which came off the catch from movement. While the majority of his shots come on the perimeter, he is intuitive as a cutter, where he gets most of his paint touches. Continuing to develop his ball handling discipline versus double teams will help him as a playmaker, given how aggressive defenses press the marksman.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1159005" first="Trevor" last="Fuller"] - PLUTO Prospects - Dakota Ridge<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG-0426-e1654644087535.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1478191 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/IMG-0426-e1654644087535-249x300.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="231" /></a></p> <p>One of the newest additions to PLUTO, Fuller is an excellent complementary combo guard who immediately elevates your team’s floor. He is a capable shooter off the catch, stretching out to the NCAA line. He can step into shots on the break or take you to the rack, where his balance and finishing touch has made strides over the summer. Fuller’s finishing touch and further maximization of his scoring gravity within the arc will elevate his game, both as a playmaker and shot creator. Dakota Ridge will be a tough team to guard on the perimeter, given Fuller, Rodriguez, and Evans will all share the floor.</p>
