Landers, a wing out of Austin Preparatory School in Massachusetts, was a standout performer in The Summer Draft League after a strong travel season with the Middlesex Magic. The 6’3″ wing can really shoot the basketball and has developed both his athleticism and ability to make plays off the bounce. With his length and instincts, he should be a versatile defender that makes an impact on the glass both in space and in traffic. He gained valuable experience at the varsity level last year with Central Catholic, before reclassifying upon his transfer to Austin Prep.

Landers impressed me again this week and has an extremely bright future of hoops ahead of himself. The 6-foot-3 wing is very under control at all times and can pass, dribble and shoot the basketball better than most kids his age and height. He had a number of isolation scores on Gardner that showcased his ability to make shots from the mid-range and three, but he also defended Gardner well on the other end and was solid as both an on-ball and defender and rim protector. Landers should get some minutes for Austin Prep this season and is going to be a potential scholarship recruit in the coming years if he can continue to improve and develop physically.
