Expert Analysis
Michael Schneiderman | Prep Hoops Scout
There wasn’t much that the defense could do to stop Cross in his team’s late morning game on Friday. I tallied him for a game high 26 points while scoring those in a variety of ways. He repeatedly dived hard after providing ball screens to retrieve it and score quickly. He also showed soft touch with a baby hook over more size, finished through contact for a couple of and1s, and ran the break ahead of the defense for a 1 hand power slam. In the paint, Cross will lead by example with battling for rebounds and helping grab second chance opportunities on the offensive end. By using his strong frame, he endures physicality while drawing consistent fouls. Overall Cross will add value on both sides of the ball as an interior anchor with a tough and relentless presence.

Read EvaluationJoshua Burish | Prep Hoops Scout
Long and active defender who uses his length to contest at the rim while staying vertical. Has soft hands—handles quick passes well and shows touch as a catch-and-shoot threat from three. Capable of finding cutters from the perimeter. High-points rebounds and competes inside, though can get a little eager chasing blocks. Versatile stretch-forward with a solid blend of size, skill, and awareness.
