The Hillcrest Hawks had a phenomenal 2022-2023 season making it all the way to the 3A Super-Sectional, but eventually falling victim to a tough Simeon squad. Most of the playing time went to the juniors and seniors on the team, but Adam Page Adam Page 6'4" | SF Hillcrest | 2025 IL , a sophomore, provided steady fundamental basketball. Looking at Page’s offensive numbers many fans may not be shocked as he averaged around 5.0 PPG, 2.0 RPG, and 1.0 APG. Though, on the defensive end that is where Page was most dangerous. After watching a handful of Hillcrest games and film I was pleased to see Page consistently provide energy with his all out hustle. I would describe Page as the glue guy of the team as he seemed to do all the dirty work. Standing at 6’4″ Page applied tight on-ball pressure to cause constant disruption. He maintained great depth in his defensive stance showing off his lateral quickness to defend the more advanced ball-handling opponents. With that success and consistent hustle, he presented active hands where he would quickly poke at the ball and cause many tipped passes. In addition, Page has a strong help defensive IQ, always in the right spot stopping dribble penetration and holding a straight-up position when opponents attacked the rim. As the next season approaches I am confident Page will work on his offensive skillset, providing a stronger scoring punch for the Hawks. Next season he will receive more minutes since his senior teammates will be moving on to their next chapter, and with more playing time comes increased basketball IQ and personal confidence.
