Hubbard makes his impact through effort, physicality, and activity around the basket. He consistently creates second-chance points as an offensive rebounder, finishing strong through contact and capitalizing on loose-ball opportunities. Defensively, he plays solid positional defense and rebounds his area. His high motor and willingness to do the dirty work stands out, particularly leading a younger team. Athletic tools continue to trend in a positive direction.

Playing for the HD Toros Elite last weekend, Alijah displays a great variety of scoring on offense from all three levels. Hubbard can create for himself off the dribble or drive to the rim and draw contact or finish over taller defenders. His long wingspan and quickness help him play passing lanes on defense and he is a good decision maker with the ball in his hands. Look for this prospect to make a lot of noise this summer and continue his momentum into the school season!

Possibly overlooked by someone on the outside looking in. Don’t sleep on this Junior. With so much scoring from a senior laden squad. Alijah has used this season to get quality shots, focusing on rebounding the basketball and scoring on offensive rebounds. Athleticism is high, if not blocked at times, Alijah will explode and dunk on whomever is the lucky body… Defensively solid, finishes possessions with defensive rebounding

as a thunderous putback exploded before my eyes. Transitioning from a role player to someone the team depends on has been a learning experience. The ability, size, talent and athleticism are all right there. Can potentially be the piece that is needed on the senior-laden team of John Jay. Offensively the parts are there, now to assemble them into a forceful gameplan.
