Tyler is one of the best shooters in the state and he proved it by hitting multiple three pointers from beyond the arc. Lundblade has good size for position and it does not take him long to get his shot off. He is also a capable ball handler that can run the point for his team if needed. Lundblade makes sound decisions with the ball in his hands. He needs to improve his athleticism and lateral quickness to stay in front of people.
Tanner Hill / 6’0 / PG / Grapevine Faith / 2020

Brandon Lawrence / 6’2” / PG / Grace Prep / 2020
