Top 2020 Wings and Forwards: 6A Region 2 District 10 (Part 2 of 5)

This is my detailed scouting report on the wings and forwards from the 6A Region 2 District 10 teams in North Texas and Dallas. The teams include Wylie, Lakeview Centennial, Sachse, Garland, South Garland, North Garland, Rowlett, and Naaman Forest. Be on the lookout for the rest of my scouting report on this entire district! Jacoby Dawkins- Wylie High School 6’2 Jacoby is an explosive athlete who loves to go up and smack shots and finish hard in a thunderous fashion. He moves around the floor on the defensive side of the ball with ease and seems to be able to cover every square inch of the gym. When he leaps, he looks like he is getting shot out of a cannon every time he goes up. Despite his small size, he positions his body incredibly well in the paint and his strong legs allow him to bump players out of the way and create space for him to bound up to corral offensive rebounds and finish on either side of the rim. He runs the floor with great energy and is elite at diving to the rim and finishes with ease in the open court. James Fincher- South Garland High School 6’1 James is a scrappy and athletic wing who gets his hands on multiple steals per game by playing the passing lanes. He is able to turn his steals into easy offense on the other end, and showed a good ability to finish through contact. He also is great at running the court with the basketball, and makes the right decision with the ball to move the ball up quickly, or go over the top for a full-court pass. Alex Garcia- North Garland High School 6’1 Alex is great at keeping his head up and creating disruptions on the defensive end. He seems to always be in the right spot to cut off passes down low, in the post and mid-range. He is elite at keeping his head up after steals and rebounds and always makes the right read in throwing outlet passes to start the fast break. He even has the ability to run the fast break and make the best decision to create open looks for his teammates. Tommy Garriga- Wylie High School 6’8 Tommy is a huge center with tremendous potential. His long arms and strong frame allow him to easily finish in traffic and over smaller players. He loves to finish and use a drop step to get into his position in the paint. He protects the paint extremely well and his daunting frame makes his opponents flinch and timidly jump with him. He moves his feet very well for his size and is great at sliding over to deter his opponents’ shots. He even has highlights of him smacking three-point jumpers into the fifth row! He has incredibly long arms that allow him to contest and reject shots even if he is out of position. He seems to effortlessly block shots, and with a fiery college coach hopefully, his motor can become unlocked so he can dominate at both ends of the floor. [player_tooltip player_id="681900" first="Donte" last="Houston"] Jr- Lakeview Centennial High School 6’8 Donte is a tenacious rebounding forward and a true force in the paint. He has incredible size and strength in his body and strikes fear in the hearts of defenders when he leaps for the ball. He loves finishing lob passes and slams them into the rim with force and shows elite awareness in his positioning for them. He uses his frame to pin and seal his defenders underneath the rim and simply explodes toward the sky and catches and finishes the now open pass. He is great in the post and bullies other forwards into poor positioning, opening up drop step dunks and ferocious finishes through contact.
