Cummings controlled the paint with his size and physicality, providing a strong interior presence throughout the tournament. Defensively, he consistently crashed the boards, limiting second chance opportunities and protecting the rim with solid positioning. On the offensive end, Cummings used his height to establish position inside and score around the basket. His ability to finish over smaller defenders made him a reliable scoring option in the paint, while his rebounding and physical play gave his team a steady presence on both ends of the floor.

There was a kid named Emerson for Colorado Premier that I did not know much about, as he did not have a school on there, but when watching his team play, I kept hearing his name. Emerson is tall and uses his length to be a disruptor on defense. He was patrolling the paint to alter shots, grabbing rebounds, and running after. He had a few mid-range pull-ups and showed a confident low-post game. Emerson shot right over the defense, used angles for the rim, and is a player that we hope to see more of moving forward. He’s on the radar as an intriguing prospect.
