Elder was one of my biggest surprises of the event. Coming into the weekend, I had not seen or heard much about him since he plays outside of my usual scouting area, but it only took a few possessions to see why he is generating college interest. He is a relentless downhill attacker who consistently puts pressure on defenses by getting into the paint and forcing contact. Elder lived at the foul line and made the most of his opportunities there, while also flashing the ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc, proving he is a capable perimeter shooter. He served as one of the primary offensive options for his Atlanta Xpress squad, shouldering a significant scoring load throughout the weekend. Already holding several low- and mid-major Division I offers, Elder’s performance should only strengthen his recruitment, and it would not be surprising to see additional programs get involved in the near future.

It has not been the finish to the regular season that Atlanta Xpress was hoping for, but Elder was a bright spot on Thursday. Always a capable shot maker, the rising senior has continued to improve as a ball handler and playmaker. He has the ability to finish in the paint with either hand and did a good job of playing through contact against a talented and physical Team Thrill defense. Expect Elder’s stock to continue to rise heading to Louisville next weekend.
