Similar to Word, Rhodes provided plenty of flashes for a freshman in the MIAA while remaining efficient with his opportunities. Both player were featured in their team’s frontcourt rotation but when all is said and done, they could be more perimeter-oriented hybrid forwards. Rhodes brings fluid footwork operating on the block or mid-post and also showed growth in face-up attack as the year progressed. His knack around the rim and ability to trace rebounds outside of his area will be a foundational point in his skillset that allows him to shine in any environment. The Eagles return key production on next year’s roster, but there’s no question that Rhodes will be expected to, and is capable of, taking the next step an becoming a key cog for head coach Gerry Abrams next winter.
