Facing a 20-point deficit late in the third quarter, Bess flipped a switch and began to will his team back into the game, ultimately falling by 3 points but putting on an impressive individual display in the process. Bess got loose for 23 points in a showcase of the shotmaking ability that’s become his trademark across his high school career. He shows a quick and confident release off the catch with great instincts for finding open space on the perimeter, knocking down 4 of his 11 attempts from beyond the arc. He’d also flash some straight-line punch off the bounce and ability to make some playmaking reads in open space. There’s clear plug-and-play value with Bess at the scholarship level as a rangy shotmaker.
