Expert Analysis
Ford Griffith | Prep Hoops Scout
Arend was another unique player to watch on Sunday morning because of his change of pace to get his shots. He nailed multiple threes to force the defense to stretch out, and then from there, kind of did whatever he wanted. My favorite possession of his was when he got himself to the free throw line, hesitated and slowed down like Kyle Anderson, taking his time with both steps and then putting it up and around a defender.

I’m not sure we’ve mentioned Arend on the site or not quite yet, but he’s a smooth and skilled point guard with a consistent 3-point game and ability to hit jumpers. I like the way he defends and seems as though he has some sound defensive IQ. He’ll be entering the 2028 rankings on Monday, and while he’s not a high-end prospect, I believe he has college potential.
