-Pretty easily our highest riser of the year, Strong led his team to deep runs in the DC State Playoff tournaments as a heady scorer. Love how smoothly Strong comes off of ball screens in the halfcourt, showing precise timing to wait until the screen has arrived and taking good angles to free himself up for a very steady midrange jumper that often found the bottom of the net. Loved his decision-making in transition as Strong shows good control of measuring his pace, pushing the tempo to take advantage of or create advantage opportunities for his team in transition or slow the pace to wait for ball screens or for his shooters to break open. A prospect that hasn’t reclassified and boasts consistently high marks in the classroom, he’s a no-brainer prospect for D2 and prep school opportunities.

25p 3r 5a 2s 7/9 FT vs Coolidge

-Strong has been playing at a DCIAA POY level this season and his marquee matchup at home with the Colts did not disappoint. Strong showed his ability to score from all 3 levels, get his defender off-balance to draw fouls to earn trips to the line, and facillitate in the half court to bring his team all the way back in a game that they trailed at the end of the first three quarters. His drive and kick to a shooter cut the Coolidge lead to single digits with 4:22 left forced the opponent to call timeout and his assists gave his team their first lead of the game with just under 2 minutes left and a 2-basket lead with 20 seconds left. His ability to use that scoring gravity to pass out of double teams or find teammates in transition is invaluable to this scrappy group that has been on a run of late. Definitely think that he is a candidate to be a scholarship player, especially given his high academic standing at the school.

Right now, Radley Strong Radley Strong 6'2" | PG Dunbar | 2026 State MD has been one of the top rising players in the DMV area. Leading the Dunbar (DC) Crimson Tide to an impressive11-2 conference and 15-8 overall record. Given his blend of IQ, size, and ability on both ends of the floor, Radley is a versatile offensive threat who can score from all levels, create for himself and others, and find opportunities with or without the ball in his hands. At 6-foot-3, he already possesses an impressive level of polish and general understanding of how to impact the game on both ends of the floor. Radley is currently an advanced offensive threat going into the playoffs. However, he also stands out as a quality rebounder and defender who can guard multiple positions as needed. Radley is a talented big guard who I am looking forward to seeing how he performs in the post season…Averaging 24 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals a game. Radley should be garnering some college level attention.
