Another one of their “veterans” who will be important this season is Cooley. Charles has the size to dominate the paint in SCISA, but he will need to bring that consistent physicality in certain matchups deep in the season. They let him show off some of his versatility in practice on Thursday, allowing him to run offense and handle the ball around the perimeter for certain sets. This could be a key development in his game, particularly if the handle tightens up enough for him to create his own shot.

First up on the Team 16 Evaluations is Charles Cooley Charles Cooley 6'4" | PF Heathwood Hall | 2028 State SC . Cooley is a solid big man prospect out of Columbia. He’s got a big frame to fight for position in the post and hold up around the paint defensively. He’s at his best in the pick-and-roll game or in the dunker spot, but he showed an improving handle in flashes throughout the day.

Charles might not have the height or athleticism as some of the bigs around him in the rankings, but he is a polished player who some unique skills. He’s one of the best passers in the class, regardless of position, and he is a capable low-post scorer as well.
