Another Fox Creek and Carolina Pressure sophomore sent in some of his film for review. Based on what I’ve seen from him in person and what I watched on video, Landen has the makings of an off-ball guard who can have a ton of two-way impact. I loved the defensive impact he consistently showed, using his length to force turnovers and tough shots frequently. Offensively, his perimeter shooting is definitely something to watch, but his ability to move without the ball and be a connector as a passer raises his floor and will make him a positive even on nights the shots aren’t falling.

Also slotting in just outside the Top 75 at #78 overall is Carpenter. Landen has some similar traits, such as an intriguing combination of length and skill, which will only become more tantalizing as he develops. He’s shown flashes of scoring at all three levels on multiple occasions, so he’s definitely one to monitor out of the CSRA.
