J. Costley 15p 11r 6a 2s vs PGCA

-I wrote about his performance a little in our weekly roundup article (found here), but came away impressed with Costley’s 2-way impact as a young guard prospect with a mature approach to the game. Costley was super active on the glass, flying in to score on putbacks at the offensive end and boxing out hard to snag defensive rebounds that he could initiate the fastbreak with at the defensive end of the floor. He showed good pace on the middle drive and drop off to the cutter, hit a huge C+S corner 3 to stop a PGCA run, hit a 3 from the wing in transition a few possessions later, and drew fouls on putbacks and drives to the rim to slow the pace of the game to get free points at the line. Even though he fouled out on a tough whistle with 3 minutes left in transition to miss the two extra quarters, he still finished with a near triple-double (I missed the second half of the 1Q, stats began in the 2Q) that showed his diverse skillbase and impact for this Springdale Prep team.
