Expert Analysis

Aaron Villa

Prep Hoops Scout

Giovanni is a big guard/wing that has some big upside. He uses his big frame and guard skills to get down hill and finish strong at the rim. His varsity experience allows him to physically dominate at the 15u level with ease. When Giovanni gets to the paint and will use a nice floater or spin and seal to get him self going. he is a capable three point shooter and can hit it off the dribble and the catch. He is a plus rebounder for his position and a very versatile defender being able to guard multiple positions at the 15u level.

Aaron Villa

Prep Hoops Scout

Giovanni is a long point forward type of wing with real upside. Giovanni was setback with a injury that happened before the season. He had to get his confidence back and eventually did and was a big part of playoff rotation. He has a great handle for his size and a great IQ. He came in and would star in his role and do what was asked of him. He would do a lot of dirty work for his squad by playing passing lanes and rebounding hard. Giovanni will take on a bigger role next year and is projected to take a big leap.
