He does a great job of moving without the basketball. Harris is a player that will get in the paint and battle for rebounds. He shoots the ball well and with plenty of consistency. Maumelle will meet up with Bryant in the Da Matchup Showcase next Saturday. Over the next few months, Harris is a prospect to watch out for on the hardwood as well as the gridiron.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2021916' first='Clay' last='Blair'] Jr-Small Forward-Little Rock Central-6'3” 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2021916' first='Clay' last='Blair'] Jr. uses his athletic ability well to get into the paint and finish above the rim. He runs the floor well and moves without the basketball. Blair Jr. plays tight defense on both ends of the floor. He has the range to hit from anywhere on the floor. The future is bright on the hardwood for Little Rock Central.

Bead has impressive range. He has no problem stepping out beyond the arc and knocking down the deep three. Bead plays with high energy on both ends of the floor. He is a player to watch this upcoming season for the Hornets. Bryant opens the basketball season against Maumelle in Da Matchup Showcase next week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
