Shoots deep off the catch and has great hands catching in traffic. He has all the tools to become a great scorer. Defensively was as good as I have seen from anyone with 5 steals even a couple leading to fast breaks points helping to get a big lead early and a couple other tipped passes. His anticipation as a free safety was dangerous. This was the 4th time seeing Ladainian and he is ready for D3 in college now, but D2 coaches may want to track his progress as he may enter a prep year next year.

Rodrigues has a good case to be the most physically imposing player in the entire MIAA. The 6-foot-4 wing is quicker and faster than most guards, but stronger and sturdier than most bigs, and he puts it all together to be one of the best athletes you’ll see in Massachusetts public school hoops. He can handle and shoot it a bit, but he mostly dominates by keeping his line on drives and getting to the front of the rim for finishes and dunks. When he doesn’t make his first shot, he gets tons of me-bounds and goes right back up with them. Rodrigues will be a double-double machine for Attleboro this year and will be a PRIME postgrad candidate and someone who should be getting some lower level scholarship looks.

There’s a very solid chance Rodrigues is the most physically imposing player in the entire MIAA. in a game against BABC about a month ago, the 6-foot-4 wing completely dominated a bunch of D1 prospects with his strength, athleticism and toughness. He’s able to attack the boards on both ends and defend virtually anybody (both on the perimeter and in the paint), but he also has some wiggle to his offensive game and is a phenomenal above the rim finisher. His shot from the outside is coming along, too. He should be a star at Attleboro this season and would benefit a lot from an extra year to develop his shot and guard skills.

Rodrigues was a man amongst boys when his Team Sims squad faced a talented BABC 2027 team. The 6-foot-4 forward dominated the paint with his strength and athleticism by bulldozing into defenders for easy put backs and finishes on a number of occasions. He also routinely got out on the break for easy layups and dunks well above the rim while protecting the hoop on the other side of the ball. He found his three-point shooting stroke down the stretch of the game, too, which makes him an even scarier prospect if that can be consistent moving forward. Rodrigues should be on the radar of high D3 coaches because of his combination of athleticism and toughness.

Rodrigues, a talented scorer out of Attleboro, has started to string together some of his best basketball for Team Sims on the UA Rise circuit. A true, three level scorer, he has a quick release on his jump shot and has proven to be a crafty finisher around the rim. He makes good decisions off the bounce, showing solid floor vision and the ability to get to his spots in the half-court. His athleticism shines when he can get out and make plays in space. On the other end, he’s a strong rebounder and does a nice job of creating steals and deflections in passing lanes.

A double double machine in points and rebounds. Really had to step up after losing a key player on this team for the rest of the year and did so both nights I saw him play. He is smart, making the timely passes averaging 5 assists in the tournament. He can score in a variety of ways from downtown to in and around the paint. He plays end to end and side to side giving everything he has to help the team succeed.
