A stretch forward from a small school that was incredibly impressive last season, Minor checks a lot of boxes that small college programs are looking for. One of the most productive players for TNBA ‘ last=”]’ last=”]-Ohio, Minor can hit shots off the catch and is physical in the paint. After receiving honorable mention all Ohio recognition as a Junior, Minor has a chance to be first or second team this upcoming season with continued improvement as an athlete and interior scorer. With Malvern bringing back Minor and J’Allen Barrino, the reigning IVC player of the year, there’s high expectations for the Hornets in 2023-24.

The second new name from TNBA ‘ last=”] Ohio and the third TNBA ‘ last=”] program prospect to be featured in this article, this is why the Run N Slam is such a great event for small college programs and evaluators. Minor really surprised me with his shooting ability, knocking in three 3-pointers and a mid-range shot in the first 8-10 minutes of the Friday night game he played. With his size he rebounded well as well. I’d want to see him show a little more offensive versatility but watching his high school highlights shows some impressive post moves. Another example of why watching players with different situations can help you visualize how he’ll be used at the next level.
