<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1816669' first='J'Twane' last='Mike'] - Palmer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1816669' first='J'Twane' last='Mike'] is an athletic, defensive-minded guard who plays with a chip on his shoulder. On the defensive end, he has good instincts on and off the ball, always hunting for steals. He is also a sneaky good shot blocker for a guard, using his athleticism to contest shots at the rim. J'Twane has a solid set shot from outside and a solid handle, I will be interested to track him throughout his career!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848549' first='Ball' last='Kellen'] - Windsor Charter Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a sophomore Ball helped lead Windsor Charter Academy to a final-four appearance in 3A. Ball is a small guard who uses changes of pace to throw off defenders. He dribbles with his head on a swivel keeping an eye out for open teammates. Despite being one of the smallest guys on the floor in each game he does a good job battling for boards, grabbing a body to box out on the defensive end when a shot goes up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1754106' first='Kenneth' last='Black-Knox'] - Rangeview</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1754106' first='Kenneth' last='Black-Knox'] is a lengthy, raw athlete who shows promise as a potential 3 and D prospect. Kenny has a smooth jumper and shot a solid efficiency from outside this season shooting just under 40%. On the defensive end, he is a solid on-ball defender who does a good job keeping opponents in front of him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848547' first='Tyce' last='Bollers'] - Strasburg</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1848547' first='Tyce' last='Bollers'] is a bulky guard who does a good job playing within his game. Tyce does a very good job making one quick move to get past the defender when the ball in his hands, often using an easy crossover or rip-through. When getting downhill he uses his big frame to stay on balance through contact. He does a good job using long steps to get to the rim and make tough shots through defenders. Tyce is a very good fundamental player, he will be a big guard to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1754309' first='Noah' last='Eckles'] - Discovery Canyon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1754309' first='Noah' last='Eckles'] has some of the highest upside in this class, as he stands at 6'9, pushing 6'10, and moves great for his size. Noah did not see a ton of varsity minutes but showed great flashes when he went in. He moves with good speed in the open floor, making him a potential problem as a rim runner. Noah also has a decent jumper and the ability to finish above the rim, he is one of the most intriguing prospects to keep an eye on in this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1799627' first='Javon' last='Brewton'] - Prairie View</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1799627' first='Javon' last='Brewton'] is a small shooting guard who has deep shooting range. Javon shot up and down, in terms of efficiency, this year but when he is hot he is a player who can rain in threes. He does a good job confidently stepping into shots, even from far behind the three-point line. I will be interested to see how he expands his game and role throughout his playing career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
