Prep Hoops Lead Scout

Szafoni went from solid role player for LT last year to one of the hottest names among power forwards in the 2026 class in the last couple months. Primed to make a massive jump in our next update. He has gotten bigger and the skill level really plays. Touch around the basket, can knock in face up shots, and rebounds well in his area.
