<p>Big men take time to develop, but their early size helps them stand out. At the Prep Hoops Florida freshman showcase, we had quite a few guys standing 6'5 or taller. Let's detail their games and project their future outlooks.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Jadus Sorhaido</strong></h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sorhaido brings his hand hat where ever he goes. The 6'6 forward uses strength and solid footwork to finish amongst the trees. He rebounds his area on both sides of the floor, has court vision out of the post, and has a good handle for a young big. In the long term, he could be a bruiser with the skills to be a versatile offensive piece.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2125471' first='Christopher' last='Rupert']</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rupert is a long 6'7 post with a ton of long term potential. He rebounds, moves well for his size, and gets to the free throw line. Strength and aggression will be his development points over the next few seasons. Rupert keeps the ball high and uses his length to block shots. Orlando Christian Prep has a good track record of developing bigs. If he stays with the program, he could be the next rim-running, paint finishing big in their lineup.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2125477' first='Dylan' last='Reach']</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6'5 forward has a great frame that will fill out with time. Reach's coordination needs work, but he can still compete with his size. He made long two point shots and finished around the rim. By his senior year, he could be a floor spacer with the size to compete in the paint.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ja'Kavious DuBose</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>DuBose has the potential to be a dirty work big. He'll need to improve his conditioning to ramp up his motor, but if he gets the ball in the paint, he can finish in traffic. DuBose isn't a high flier, but he does carve out space in the paint for second chance plays.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2125484' first='Henry' last='Robinson Jr.']</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6'7 forward stretches the floor and protects the rim. He's an athlete who snatches down boards and pushes in transition. His outlook points to a versatile combo who can play inside and out while defending each frontcourt spot with his length and intensity.</p>
