The 6'5 forward has a good faceup, which he uses to get to the rim and can finish through contact. Patetta can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Patetta is a skilled forward prospect who should put his game on display throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421321' first='Zack' last='Kolaja'], 6'5 SF Blair Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kolaja went up 31 spots in the update as he showed his ability to stretch the floor during the summer. The 6'5 forward has a smooth release on his jumper and can knock down jumpers in bunches. Kolaja is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He slides his feet well on the defensive end and works for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Kolaja is a sharpshooting wing prospect whose ability to torch the nets from distance will help his stock throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421326' first='Khalid' last='Ousmane'], 6'7 PF St. Benedict's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ousmane had a strong summer, which resulted in him moving up 17 spots. The 6'7 forward knows how to get position down low and can finish through contact around the basket. Ousmane has a solid faceup game as he can put the ball on the floor and can also score in the mid-range. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses good anticipation to swat shots on the defensive end. Ousmane has the ability to have a breakout season as he should get more touches on the offensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1599859' first='Jack' last='Fitzpatrick'], 6'3 PG College Achieve</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fitzpatrick went up 14 spots in the update and has the potential to move up even more this winter. The 6'3 guard has a good first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finish in a number of ways around the basket. Fitzpatrick has a nice touch on his floater and wastes little motion in his release. He has the ability to play off the ball as well and slides his feet on the defensive end. Fitzpatrick has the ability to put up points in bunches and should put that on display this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2129871' first='Amari' last='Stokes'], 6'4 SG Life Center Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stokes jumped up 13 spots in the latest update after a solid AAU season. The 6'4 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the basket and is unafraid of drawing contact. Stokes is more than just a slasher as he sets his feet before he shoots and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Stokes' ability to make plays with the ball in his hands makes him a prospect to track over the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107788' first='Chukwudi' last='Mamah'], 6'7 PF Timothy Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107786' first='Anthony' last='Pacciarelli'], 6'3 SG St. Joseph (Mont.)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1775124' first='Andrew' last='Park'], 6'6 SF Blair Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2340915' first='Siraj' last='Abdellah'], 5'10 PG Elizabeth</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1483439' first='Shawn' last='Spencer'], 6'2 SG Saddle River Day</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
