Aaron Proia | Prep Hoops Scout
-Our PH MD staff has been high on Raue for a bit and his role with the Warriors is pretty perfect to realize that potential as a guard that can score effectively in spots as an efficient shooter that is rounding out his self-creation skills. Raue used his pivot well to maneuver around the defense and hit a reverse layup, had a 1-dribble spin move into a fade-away short jumper that splashed through the net, scored on a euro step lefty layup at the rim, and looks much more comfortable attacking closeouts. He competed at the defensive end of the floor but will need to continue to develop more footspeed to succeed on perimeter switches onto 3SSB PGs this summer, but the flashes were encouraging throughout the weekend as a shooter that is developing a more well-rounded game.

-Raue continues his rapid ascension up our rankings as a shooter with great positional size in the sophomore class. Raue moves well off the ball to set up open looks for himself beyond the arc, has a consistent release point whether he is shooting a floater or midrange jumper or 3 point shot, and has worked on his body to enable himself to play through more physicality at both ends of the floor. Because of the afore-mentioned shooting touch, he doesn’t need the ball in his hands for very long to be effective and is a willing passer both on the perimeter and on drives to the rim. Want to see him play with more of a killer instinct at both ends of the floor, as he has all the tools to be successful.

-We moved him up 52 spots, and that honestly might not be enough. Raue has a ton of upside as a guard that can knock down shots off the catch on the perimeter, attack second side closeouts on the wing, and serve as a disruptive off-ball defender. He can make plays as a ball-handler in the open floor and has improved his burst when changing directions, just want to see the handle tighten to adjust to defensive swipes at the ball on his drives to the rim. With good positional size and the above-mentioned skillset, there is a ton to like here.

Raue showcased a polished, all-around game with the size, feel, and creation instincts. He stood out as their main source of offense but appeared comfortable finding chances as an on or off-ball threat. Raue consistently created for others and scored the ball from all levels. I look for Raue to continue to improve and get stronger and develop into a consistent perimeter shooter.
