Playoff Stockrisers: Part IV

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Return to the Playoff Stockriser series.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1318557' first='Tylan' last='Lewis']</strong> (Independence) was long known to be a dominator within the PrepHoopsTN office, also known as the brains of Courtney Asher Smith and Andrew Force, but his stock with both recruiters&nbsp;and the entire Tennessee basketball community soared with his State Tournament play.&nbsp; Tylan's poise with the basketball rivals most senior stars.&nbsp; His strength on the ball prevents older players, even bigger players, from trying to pounce on him like hungry lions. Lewis is a Top 20 sophomore for these reasons.&nbsp; His AAU summer will surprise more observers from both near and far.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1856728' first='Brandon' last='Winton']</strong> (Alcoa) left Tennessee for Florida and football.&nbsp; Now that he is back he deserves to resume his basketball reputation, formerly a Top 15 player in Class of 2025, way back during his 15u AAU summer.&nbsp; Winton is tough, dastardly-strong.&nbsp; He gets up off of the floor more than an onlooker would expect for a hulking young man his size.&nbsp; The handle is also impressive considering how muscle-bound the dude is.&nbsp; Winton was a critical Robin to [player_tooltip player_id='1121414' first='Jahvin' last='Carter']'s Batman throughout March.&nbsp; As incredible as Jahvin's season was, he could not have accomplished so much without another scorer on the floor with him.&nbsp; Winton is that man.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1043216' first='Jordan' last='Frison']</strong> (Overton) continues to be woefully undervalued by college recruiters.&nbsp; Likely because he is a shorter point guard.&nbsp; Tough to argue that he is a big guy.&nbsp; By basketball standards Jordan is short, and also thin.&nbsp; What escapes recruiters, apparently, are his guts and skill.&nbsp; He constantly scores in the 25-35 point range, much like [player_tooltip player_id='1121414' first='Jahvin' last='Carter'] (Alcoa).&nbsp; Many of Jordan's points are scored against players taller, bigger.&nbsp; Frison looks the part of a college combo guard.&nbsp; Usually a derisive term with the implication that the player can NOT play point guard, Jordan only fits because he can do both very well.&nbsp; It would be a sin for him not to shoot, so he could be labeled a shooting guard, but playing shooting guard is not really a reflection of Frison's strengths or future.&nbsp; Frison is a willing and wonderful passer, as evidenced by both his State Tournament run and his entire career.&nbsp; He gets to those dangerous spots and can finish or pass from there.&nbsp; He is a great penetrator, but he is not only taking those drives to the rim.&nbsp; Frison is also driving and distributing from those spots.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fredrick Moore</strong> (Humboldt) is a high-flying forward with some nice passing creativity.&nbsp; Facing Hampton, Moore was a beast on the low blocks, but he also played with goliath [player_tooltip player_id='1847265' first='Stephon' last='Shivers'] quite well.&nbsp; Moore does not project as a wing, so his college options are likely to be limited to places a 6-foot-4 rebounder can survive.&nbsp; Still, his value to the Vikings and the state of basketball are noteworthy.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Michael Anspaugh</strong> (Hampton) competed with really smart drives and creations.&nbsp; The junior point guard put his Bulldogs in the position to succeed, and they did.&nbsp; A throwback point guard with both a primary and secondary focus on passing, Anspaugh is a nice complimentary piece to scorer [player_tooltip player_id='1495468' first='Cadon' last='Buckles'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/03/playoff-stockrisers-part-i/">Playoff Stockrisers: Part I - Prep Hoops</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/author/andrew-force-author/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/03/playoff-stockrisers-part-ii/">Playoff Stockrisers: Part II - Prep Hoops</a></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/03/playoff-stockrisers-part-iii/">Playoff Stockrisers: Part III - Prep Hoops</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
