<p class="text-gray-700">Cunningham is a long, athletic forward whose game is defined by versatility and whose development continues to trend in the right direction. He runs the floor effortlessly, is an explosive above the rim finisher and possesses an impressive perimeter skill set for his size. Cunningham has the ability to impact the game in a variety of ways offensively while using his length, mobility and athleticism to defend multiple positions. He continues to add strength to his frame, which should only enhance his effectiveness on both ends of the floor. With his combination of physical tools, versatility and upside, expect Division I programs to closely monitor Cunningham's progress throughout the season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A new arrival from Northern California, Ward is a big, strong, physical forward who looks poised for a productive season at Gillion Academy. He is an effective interior scorer who combines excellent footwork, good hands and the strength to finish around the basket. Ward also possesses shooting range beyond the arc, giving him the ability to stretch the floor and contribute offensively both inside and out. He is a productive rebounder who consistently attacks the glass and plays with a high motor on both ends of the floor. </p>

A competitive, hard playing combo forward, he has the ability to score both inside and out, giving him the versatility to impact the game in a variety of ways offensively. McCarthy has a high basketball IQ and is a productive rebounder who uses his strength and effort to compete on the glass.
