Expert Analysis
Colby Giacubeno | Prep Hoops Scout
Regardless of class, Palmer was one of my biggest stock risers from the weekend in Richmond. The 6-foot-2 combo guard has one of the smoothest shooting strokes in the DMV and when he was hitting shots from deep like he was this weekend, it sets up the rest of his game. The ball movement within this Assault 16s group is exactly what you would hope for and when they’re in a flow state, Palmer’s floor spacing ability alongside others who can shoot it make for plenty of driving lanes to take advantage of as they battle aggressive closeouts on the catch. I was impressed with his playmaking once he had two feet in the paint and his ability to read the backline of the defense. In transition, whether Palmer initiated the break himself after grabbing a rebound or acted as the outlet, his eyes immediately scanned the floor where he zipped passes with either hand to teammates in stride for quick buckets. Palmer was the catalyst to Assault’s 3-1 weekend that concluded with a 2-point loss in the championship game to Tre Mann Elite. Palmer averaged 11.5 points on the weekend.
