Expert Analysis
Max Wagner | Prep Hoops Scout
With JoJo Mitchell a bit below his typical scoring output, Julian provided the extra spark offensively for CDH against East Ridge. The junior guard was consistently finding pockets of space out on the perimeter to catch-and-shoot, and didn’t miss much when he was left open from three. He may not look lightning quick, but Julian’s change of speed allows him to beat defenders off the dribble and get into the lane to make plays. Has a soft floater to score over size but is at his best driving and dishing to an open man.

He is also super quick and shifty, always looking to create.
