A 6-foot-1 point guard, Lancelin’s scoring ability and athleticism stands out, but his game reaches beyond just putting points on the board. He is a stat sheet stuffer, including a 29-point, eight-rebound, five-assist performance against Northside last season. His combination of athleticism, defensive energy, and three-level scoring gives Westgate a guard who gives opposing defenses nightmares.

If Lancelin pairs his scoring instincts with steady playmaking and keeps setting the tone defensively, he can help Westgate make another push in the postseason. This multi-sport athlete is one of the best in Louisiana and worth keeping an eye on throughout the season.

Lancelin is an enigma in the basketball world and has not been seen on an AAU court in two summer, but his reputation remains. He is a next level player that can affect winning with his competitive edge. It is pretty clear that he will be a high level football player at the next level, but as long as he cares to dribble the ball, he is one of the best in the state. Keep an eye on Lancelin as he continues to grow and improve his game.

Lancelin is one of the best athletes in the state and one of the few players with D1 potential in two sports. Defensively, he is a standout player, and he has great on court energy, but at the core of his game is the ability to just flat-out score the ball. What is most impressive is his blend of skill and athleticism, which separates him from a lot of skilled players who can’t match his athletic abilities. He is another three-level guy. Bottom line, he is basically unguardable when he is in that mode.
