Expert Analysis
Sam Duren | Prep Hoops Scout
One of the more consistent scorers for SCP. He’s a crafty shooter, who plays with fantastic rhythm and balance when shooting off the dribble. Hit threes from deep and in the mid-range. His ability to dictate the pace when dribbling and play under control helps make up for not being the quickest or fastest player. Will be interesting to see how his body fills out strength wise, as he has a solid frame.

Lyon is developing quite the bag to compliment his sniping ability. Has a signature stepback from deep. Which he has made more sudden and violent as he’s matured, creating more space for his jumper. After opponents overplay him to prevent threes, he’s capable of taking them to the mid-range. Where he’s a tough shot maker, with outstanding body control and focus. Does good work off the ball too, which should help hit the floor faster at the next level. With improvements on defense and as a passer, Lyon is quickly becoming a complete guard.

Sharpshooter who torched the net in a signature win earlier this month at the Oklahoma Clash. Started to show off more to his game, including hitting tougher pull ups off the dribble. This includes mid-range and pulling from DEEP anytime the defense gives him space within 25 feet or so. Doesn’t need much seperation to get his shot off, while still maintaining deadeye accuracy even when contested. Has made a good jump to his athleticism and strength. Clearly a challenging winter schedule with his new prep school, is starting to pay off. Arrow is pointing up.
