Expert Analysis
Devontae Cobb | Prep Hoops Scout
This wing possesses an uncanny ability to carve up defenses inside the arc, a slasher with surgical precision who thrives at getting downhill and bending the backline. With a tight handle, sharp first step, and intuitive change of pace, Goosby effortlessly creates paint touches that collapse defenses and force rotations. Once inside, Austin Austin 6'2" | CG Covenant Classical | 2027 TX ‘s methodical but reactive, reading the low man, baiting rim protectors, and making split-second decisions that result in clean pull-up jumpers, timely kickouts to shooters, or soft pocket drop-offs to rolling bigs. What separates him is his ability to manipulate help defenders. Goosby probes with patience, keeps his dribble alive, and uses hesitations, shoulder fakes, and inside-out footwork to freeze shot blockers or draw early stunts. Goosby’s especially adept at foul baiting, not in a gimmicky way, but through savvy control of tempo, using defender momentum against them and drawing contact as he rises into floaters or gathers for finishes. His mid-range pull-up is efficient and rhythmic, rising with elevation and balance even in tight spaces. Goosby doesn’t just get into the paint, he lives there, dictating outcomes and consistently generating high-value looks for himself or others. A true downhill initiator with multidimensional impact inside the arc.
