Expert Analysis
Tom Keller | Prep Hoops Scout
He does a good job steering the ship and consistently finds teammates for scoring opportunities. Really liked his vision of the floor. He also showed the ability to score from beyond the arc, connecting on a pair of three-pointers. He finished with eight points on the night. At times, though, he could have taken better care of the ball, as a few head-scratching turnovers. Felt like he was playing faster than he normally plays.

Really like the physicality that Cox brought to the table tonight in their win over Pine-Richland, he slows the game down on the attack and really bullies his way to different spots. Cox has a nice layup package inside. He picks and chooses which spots and angles to use and converts easy buckets. Cox also was in good spots to collect rebounds. He was effective playing the two man game and reads and reacts to situations on the fly. His ability to get the ball and find ways to go coast to coast was seen throughout the game. Cox found a handful of his teammates for scoring chances of their own throughout the game . He finished with 14 points.

Cox chipped in 10 points with two threes but the impact he left on the game was way bigger than that. His ram rod style of play is seen throughout the game. He connected on two three pointers early on in the game. Teams struggle to keep him in front of them. Cox can start the break and throws nice passes to his teammates. I also like how he is not afraid to throw a bounce pass. I want to see him play off two more when on the attack.

Cox impressed with his versatility he showed that he can play on or off the basketball. He made plays for himself and others and found teammates for scoring chances. Cox came up with steals and altered shots. One of his best traits is bullying way to different spots on the attack. Cox processes the He is a capable shooter from deep but think that is the area where he could take a jump as player at a more consistent rate. He was one of the best freshman in the state and looks to build of a solid freshman campaign.
