‘s motor stood out on both ends of the floor. He found openings in the paint and finished through traffic on offense, and on the defensive end he came up with a well-timed block while consistently challenging shots.

made a strong case to move up the rankings all fall. He showcased his athleticism regularly and proved he has the vertical to compete with forwards who are a bit taller than him. He also brings quickness to the table on defense. And is capable of altering or blocking shots when he times it right. Overall, he impressed me a lot. And I’m looking forward to catching him and the Palo Verde Panthers these next few months.

had the biggest wingspan out of all of the prospects that were around 6’0. He has a very impressive wingspan of 80 inches. Meaning he’s got around a 6’6 wingspan. His numbers are definitely noteworthy, and I think we can expect him to come down with rebounds regularly this season.

was active around the rim on both offense and defense for Green And White. He worked hard to grab rebounds and also got open for layups fairly often. On defense, he didn’t take possessions off and he didn’t give his man much room to operate.

was in the top 5 of every drill at the combine. He claimed the top spot in the Lane Agility Drill with a time of 10.15 seconds. Phoenix also placed 5th in the Pro Agility Drill and posted a time of 4.5 seconds. One takeaway from those type of numbers is that he will be quite the defender this season. Keep a look out for him,

utilized his lower body power and strength to claim the top spot in both the Countermovement Jump Test and Max Vertical Test. In the CMJ test he hit an eye popping 21.5 inches. While in the Max Vertical Test, he really got up and hit 39 inches. It was very impressive to watch.

gave 110% on both ends of the court to help Palo Verde get the playoff win. On defense, he used athleticism to protect the paint and he came up with a solid block. I also saw Phoenix put his body on the line to save the ball as it was going out of bounds, and it was quite impressive to see that type of effort. On offense, he gained good position on his opponents and made some difficult lay-ups.
