Expert Analysis
Michael Roth | Prep Hoops Scout
Another big time scoring game from Rice who is shooting the ball with a lot more confidence than we saw in the spring. Rice does a good job at getting into the lane and uses the jump stop into a righty floater that’s weird for the defense to prepare for because they think lefty with his jump shooting hand. I was actually impressed with the one lefty finish Rice had at the basket as that’s effectively his ‘off hand’ when attacking the rim. Rice has had a great senior season and looks like a steal for Murray State right now, we’ll see if he can get minutes immediately next season at the college level.

Rice had an efficient 29-point performance, making 9 of 13 field goal attempts inside 3-point range. Rice has really good touch on floaters and when he’s attacking the basket he’s really tough to stop. I’ll be closely following how Rice shoots the ball from the outside this season, he went 0/2 on 3’s but was 11/15 on free throws. After shooting it at 39% as a Junior he really struggled in EYBL play, getting a consistent jumper will make a huge difference on his potential to make an immediate impact at Murray State. Rice also had three steals, showing some of his defensive potential. Huber Heights Wayne likes to play up-tempo which is the best fit for Rice’s game, and he made an excellent style of play decision when committing to the Racers.

Rice will try and lead Wayne back to the GWOC championship as he’s put-up big-time numbers since his freshman season. The future Murray State Racer is one of the most athletic guards in the state and a joy to watch each time he steps on the court.
