Civello, a guard out of St. Sebastian’s School in Massachusetts, finalized his plans for the next level with a commitment to Grinnell College. A 6’5″ guard, Civello has great size and length for the position. While he needs to fill out his frame and get stronger, he has shown development of his off the bounce game and isn’t afraid to play through contact at the rim. Where he excels is as an off-ball mover and floor spacer. He has a high release on his shot and is able to get it off against almost any defender. Defensively, he can guard three positions and is willing to mix it up on the glass. He should fit well in Grinnell’s system and has a chance to be one of the better perimeter shooters in the Midwest Conference in time.

Civello, a scoring guard out of the St. Sebastian’s School, checks in at #138 overall and #26 among the shooting guards.

He does a great job of moving without the basketball, cutting to scoring spots and using screens to get open. He leverages his shooting to open up driving lanes and shows the ability to finish over size in the paint. Defensively, he uses his length to his advantage and is also willing to mix it up on the defensive glass.

Civello, a lean and lanky two guard, is an impressive scorer that has the ability to create for himself and score off the bounce. A plus shooter from behind the arc, Civello has a high release on his jumper, allowing him to get it off without much space. He’s a crafty scorer in the paint, showing the ability to finish with either hand around the rim or make tough, contested turnaround jumpers. He’s got a little shift off the bounce and can create space when he needs to. Defensively, he has the length to be disruptive in passing lanes and the size to be a good perimeter rebounder. He’s a high IQ prospect that knows where he needs to be and more often than not, makes the right reads with the basketball. He’s a college prospect now, with a higher ceiling if he can add strength moving forward.
