Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
The 6-foot-4 combo guard has the moves and accuracy to score the ball from 3-levels, the court vision to make plays in the half court setting, as well as the open court, and has the length to alter shots from the weakside in the paint or on the perimeter with timely closeouts. Fountaine is a player I have seen several times and was part of the Team Lillard 16u squad that won the 3SSB 16s Championship, and a key contributor. Fountaine would start slowly in Vanden’s opening game against the sharp shooting and high tempo Pacifica Christian Tritons, but would get going in the second half to finish with 13 points, 10 of those after halftime. Foutaine wasted no time in the Viking’s second game, as he would drop 20 points to lead his team in scoring, connecting on 3 threes in the process, along with 5 rebounds, 3 assists, a block, and a steal. Fountaine has solid handles, keeps the dribble alive to survey the defense, uses the wide crossover, the between cross, and hesitation to get his defender off balance, he uses his long strides and burst off the bounce to get by his initial defender, has the body control to score through contact down the lane with creativity on the finish with the reverse or Euro-step lay-ups to score in tight windows. Fountaine gets good lift on the mid-range jumper off the dribble, is effective with the spin-fade middy on the baseline or off the wing, moves fluidly off the ball to get to his shot spots, and is accurate with the 3-ball off the catch or the bounce. Foutaine is a good positional rebounder, looks to push the pace of play up the court, and has the court vision to find open teammates ahead in transition or cutting off the ball in the half court setting. Controlled style of play with the ability to connect on tough shots and one of the better long term prospects at the event.
