Expert Analysis
Jordan Davidsen | Prep Hoops Scout
Priester was the main guy for Creekside Christian in a tough loss at the buzzer to Oldsmar Christian. I’ve seen a lot of really good 5-8 guards in my day, but Priester stood out because I could never tell that he was smaller than the other guys on the floor. The keyword with him is explosiveness. He was relentless going downhill and bodied up to the Oldsmar bigs while comfortably putting the ball in the basket. On offense, his jumpshot looked polished as he hit some massive contested 3-pointers to put Creekside back into the game late in the 4th. He was electric on the pull up mid range and could get his shot off without a hitch. Defensively, he was making life hard even for the fastest Oldsmar guards (like Willie Sheppard) and had 4 steals in the contest. He exploded to the ball on defense and forced the Oldsmar guards to make mistakes. Priester’s size holds him back a bit, but he is efficient in using the tools in his bag to overcome the size deficit and get buckets for Creekside. He has interest from schools like Morehouse and should only become more recruited as the season progresses.
