Mauristhene is a good all-around guard that can play both with and without the ball. He has a solid handle and can score at all three levels, and I was especially impressed with his ability to throw his body into opposing bigs and finish with contact – he’s an above-the-rim player when he has a head of steam. He also lets the game come to him and wasn’t too shot-happy offensively; he was consistently willing to make the extra pass when the defense collapsed on him in the paint. Will be curious how much run Mauristhene gets on a talented South Kent team next year.

Mauristhene, a big combo-guard at South Kent, is an impressive open floor athlete that can impact a game on both ends of the floor. He’s in control as a lead guard, making good decisions in ball-screens and pushing the pace in transition. He has good burst off the bounce, is an acrobatic finisher in the paint, and does a good job of knocking down open three’s off the catch. Defensively, he’s an impressive shot blocker for his size, showing impressive chase down speed in transition and regularly challenging opposing players at the rim. He has quick hands and quick feet, allowing him to be a solid on-ball defender that generates plenty of steals and deflections. He should only continue to get better this season as he faces high level competition in games, and practices, at South Kent.
