Coleman appears to be next in an increasingly long line of talented guards to come through the storied Philadelphia public school program. The 6-foot-3 guard was effective getting into the lane, where he could find teammates or finish with a floater or layup. His long wingspan also made him a pest defensively, allowing him to slow down West Nottingham’s guards at the point of attack as the Panthers steadily extended their lead. His biggest role may still be another year away, but there is little doubt Coleman will eventually become an important piece for Imhotep.

While his backcourt mate at Imhotep gets more notoriety as perhaps the top 2030 guard in the state, Coleman has impressed as well with a strong set of building blocks as a promising long-term prospect in his own right. With solid positional size and dripping length, he’s a fluid and athletic two-way guard who’s shown an ability to consistently stay around the ball and make plays on both ends when given the chance so far in summer league and scholastic live period competition. Coleman plays with a grace and twitch to his game that really catches the eye and should give him a chance to grow into a consistent role by the time the calendar gets set to turn to the new year.
