Nate Hibbert
About Nate
Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-6 stretch forward has a smooth shot from beyond the arc, has the frame to score through contact in the paint, and makes good reads to open teammates cutting off the ball or up the court off the defensive rebound. Hibbert is coming off a strong showing at the annual NorCal Tip-Off, earning Player of the Game honors in a win over Moreau Catholic. Hibbert kept up the long-range shooting in Vanden’s first two games of the showcase, with 7 points and 9 points respectively, connecting on 5 threes over the two games. Hibbert moves fluidly off the ball, is accurate with the 3-ball off the catch, which opens up the court by pulling bigger defenders away from the basket. Hibbert has solid handles, uses the crossover and between cross to create space from his defender, has a quick release on the jumper with limited space needed to get his shot off, and is effective on shots through contact. I saw him live at the California Live Scholastic event in late June and he had a game with 6 threes, showing his ability to score in volume.
