Expert Analysis
Tom Keller | Prep Hoops Scout
His physicality was evident all night, consistently bullying his way to the rim and finishing through contact. He frequently found ways to crash the offensive glass, creating second-chance opportunities. Semplice knocked down two three-pointers in the win and showed great timing defensively, jumping passing lanes and coming away with steals. Should be a priority for small college programs.
