<p>Not only does he show the ability to operate from either guard position, he has also shown the ability to be a reliable go-to deep-range shooting threat throughout this past summer. His constant movement off the ball sets him apart, allowing him to make his presence felt, do damage, and draw defensive attention that opens lanes and driving gaps for other teammates. Alexander is also a good athlete who can beat closeouts off the dribble and finish the play above the rim on top of a defender's head, highlighting his upside as an all-around guard who can impact the game both on and off the ball.</p>

<p>6'4” lights-out lefty who's a knockdown shooter from multiple levels, often drilling mid-range jumpers off instinctive one-dribble pull-ups while also stretching the floor to the corners from backdoor baseline cuts or by lifting up from screens along the wing for catch-and-shoot opportunities where his potential truly shines. Landers lets it fly with a fluid dip and rise, displaying soft touch and high rotation. </p>

<p>Elite quickness, low center of gravity, and relentless motor to apply ball pressure and disrupt opposing guards. Offensively, McCasland's ability to handle the ball, make quick decisions, and operate as a reliable shooter from beyond the arc allows him to space the floor while simultaneously impacting the game as a dynamic creator. Defensively, his lightning-quick hands, reflexes, anticipation, and ability to get underneath ball-handlers make him a pesky point-of-attack defender who can consistently disrupt the rhythm of opposing guards and make them uncomfortable while bringing the ball up the floor or orchestrating the offense, </p>

<p>Volume shooter with excellent touch that makes difficult shots seem simple for him, whether he's contested, off balance, or shooting on the move. Richmond has range that already translates smoothly from college distance, as he maintains a consistent flow of rhythm and balance whether pulling up off the dribble or stepping into the catch with polished footwork.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another elite three-point specialist out of Highland Park, spotting up for drive-and-kick opportunities, catching and shooting, or pulling up for transition three-pointers with range while stepping back into space whenever he could. For such a great three-point shooter, he doesn't force shots but instead always looks to make the right pass first with the ball, never allowing the ball to stick. Stockwood's ability to quickly move the ball, relocate, and find open windows allows him to remain a dangerous floor-spacing threat within the flow of the offense.</p>
