With the amount of turnover at WesTech on the heels of last season’s sectional championship, Andre looks like a safe bet to make one of the bigger statistical jumps of any guard in the state. A complementary piece a year ago, he’s being thrust into a marquee role and impressed on Saturday with his energy in the floor game and ability to touch the paint on command. Well-built with good size and sudden burst, he routinely left defenders in the dust with a vicious left-to-right crossover and an ability to effectively vary his dribble cadence. He really gets into the ball on the defensive end with quick feet and a strong chest, playing with a consistently high motor overall despite the amount of offensive responsibility on his plate. His game is still a bit rough around the edges but the scholarship-level potential is very real as he refines with added experience.

One of the breakout players in 16U Challenger play this MADE Hoops Circuit season, Andre’s best basketball lays well ahead of him. A talented scorer with good size who is at his best when getting to the rim, Andre seemingly added range and depth to his offensive arsenal as the Summer went on. That proved to be the case at camp, as Andre was a terror in transition and able to take over offensively for stretches.

A valued role player over the course of WesTech’s run to a sectional title last season, Andre projects to step up toward the top of the rotation with the Panthers’ three leading scorers all lost to graduation. Andre is coming off a standout spring and summer with FAM Academy on the Made Hoops Challenger Circuit where he showcased his consistent ability to generate paint touches. The rising junior is a dynamic playmaker off the dribble, both scoring himself and creating open looks for teammates when the defense collapses on him. With solid size and athleticism, he looks to have scholarship-level potential to tap into with further refinement in the years to come.
