Laraiva made a little bit of a homecoming in this game having played at Westfield last season before transferring to Pendleton Heights for his senior year. The return was not the best for Laravia as he struggled to really get any true offense going. The times I have seen Laravia, he is usually as his best when he can bang down low and use his size to score through contact. As the season goes on, he will be a solid post option for Pendleton Heights.

LaRavia is a skilled 6’6″ forward that stretches the floor out beyond the three-point arc. He is a constant pick-and-pop threat while also possessing the size and strength to finish around the basket. After playing his first three seasons at Westfield High School, LaRavia will be at Pendleton Heights for his senior year. His ability to face-up and score from the perimeter makes him a unique front court prospect that should continue to attract small college interest this winter for the Arabians.

With his size and weight, it’s tough to move LaRavia around in the paint. Really impressed with his overall skillset, a priority recruit for small college programs.
