<p>This past week Utah Prep was on the road and they played some dudes and they had a lot of bright spots. [player_tooltip player_id='1532662' first='JJ' last='Mandaquit'] was doing his thing, creating and getting the ball to the right places and you should see more improved play as he was shadowed the entire game the entire length of the floor. </p>

<p>This was a fantastic opportunity for this program to grow as they might be moving from one place to another but they basically have a whole new roster and and some new things that they are starting to implement. [player_tooltip player_id='2205764' first='Gavin' last='Placide'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2205812' first='Gallagher' last='Placide'] had their moment but when you are playing against some of the best wings and these dudes are men there will be some opportunity 's out there to learn. </p>

<p><strong>Standouts</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1278435' first='Junior' last='County']: He might have not had the best showing in his mind but the kid did some great things out there especially as the number two ball handler and creator. Look for him to really improve and pick up a larger amount of offers this winter. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1146670' first='John' last='Southwick']: This kid was averaging 20 + PPG out there and teams where trying to deny him the ball which means he is doing his job and =, especially opening the lanes for his PG and the bigs to work. This game the teams they played had some of the biggest bigs inteh country so things will get better all-around. </p>

<p><strong>Surprise Play</strong></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2205815' first='Aly' last='Toure']: He is strong and had his moments but there is upside for him as a solid PF. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2205816' first='Guystone' last='Kasenga']: He was hanging tight against alot of D1 and pro talent which means the rest of the schedule will only get better. </p>
