France was a pleasure to watch after hearing his name throughout last season, and seeing him over a full weekend only reinforced the hype. He is a natural scorer with an aggressive mindset, always looking to push the action and put points on the board. France showcased a complete three level scoring package, knocking down shots from deep, creating in the mid range and attacking the rim with confidence. He played with poise and never looked rushed, reading defenders and taking what the defense gave him. His confidence was evident every possession, making him one of the most exciting offensive players to watch all weekend

France stood out and is a smooth, skilled perimeter player with size and length that instantly catches your eye. His frame gives him a natural edge, easily elevating over defenders to knock down shots with confidence and control. He’s got a high release and a clean, fluid shooting motion when taking a jumper. France brings real versatility by shooting over closeouts, staying balanced under pressure and using his length to make plays on both ends of the floor. Defensively he clogs passing lanes, contests shots and disrupts opposing players. With his combination of size, skill and poise, France showed why he’s one of the more intriguing perimeter prospects to keep an eye on moving forward

France continues to stand out as a high-IQ, versatile player who impacts games beyond the box score, and that was on display all summer. He communicates well, rotates defensively, and does the small things that help teams win and that will keep him on the floor. Offensively, he plays within the flow, makes the right reads, and provides consistent energy which is contagious. His leadership and willingness to do the dirty work give him early value and make him an easy player to trust as I expect him to have a big year. He started the back half of the year on varsity as a freshman, and heading into his sophomore season, he has high expectations that we feel he fulfills. 

France has the traits we look for in future standouts. He’s high IQ, shows vocal leadership, and is skilled. He’s a lefty with feel and a deep bag. France started varsity games as a freshman and never looked out of place. What I’m excited to see is how he matches up defensively and what his scoring looks like in this setting. He’s long, crafty, and could really shine among top-tier talent and we want to see more of it. He’s on the cusp right now and with a breakout performance will be firmly on the radar. We want to see him there.
